  • Touring pitches at a 12-acre country park on the edge of Spilsby
  • Close to Lincolnshire Wolds walks; 20 minutes' drive to Skegness
  • Five fishing lakes on site, with bait shop and accessible platforms
If you like to have a fishing lake on site when you’re travelling in your tourer, it’s fair to say that you’ll probably be very happy indeed with a stay at Woodlands Fishery, on the edge of the Lincolnshire town of Spilsby. And that’s because this 12-acre country park is home to a peaceful carp and coarse fishery complex that’s got not one, not even two, but a splendid five different lakes for pleasure anglers to choose from. Owners Pam and Keiran always do their utmost to ensure this is a top-notch experience for all guests, keeping the lakes well stocked with carp, perch, bream, tench, rudd and other species. You’ll need to bring a licence along if you’d like to fish, and agree to the catch-and-release policy; tackle and baits are available at the shop, along with snacks and drinks, and there are accessible platforms so everyone can join the fishing fun. Not into fishing? No problem – there are plenty of other ways to fill your time nearby. The site is on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, with lots of lovely footpaths to follow for scenic walks, and there are attractions nearby like the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre or the National Trust’s Gunby Estate. And as Skegness is a mere 20 minutes’ drive away there’s also scope for a day at the seaside. Closer to home, a 10-minute walk takes you to the town centre for shops, cafés, takeaways and the Monday market. Facilities on site include a launderette, a washing-up area and a toilet block with underfloor heating. Touring pitches all have electric and water supplies plus waste disposal.

What customers say

A well-kept, peaceful spot with ripper hosts Pam and Kieran. Spacious, serviced sites. New showers & covered dishwashing. Short walk to Spilsby shops. Five fishing lakes. Minor points: goose poop & midges. Highly recommended, will be back.

Rachel D.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked This is a lovely little site .
We had a lovely pitch looking out onto the lake..
The toilet block was immaculately clean.
Central for Skegness.. ingomels.. chapel St Leonards etc. We had a few days out and about.
We didn't try the fishing but there was always someone out there and it seemed popular.
The owners were super friendly knowledgeable and always on hand to help. And very kind thank you.
Would love to visit again.

Fully-serviced gravel motorhome site

Liked Just back from 5 nights at Woodlands and we can’t wait to go back. From the minute we arrived until the minute we left Pam and Kieran made you feel very welcome and always happy to stop and have a chat to make sure everything was ok. The pitches are flat and have their own water tap. There are 5 lakes to choose from so perfect if you like to fish, little tackle shop on site as well. The little village of spilsby is just a 10 minute stroll up the road, with some nice pubs that did food and a Sainsbury’s for supplies. Plus you can pick up the bus here for Skegness . The site overall is well laid out and the facilities are lovely and clean. We will be booking again

Local attractions

Drive north for a few minutes and you’ll reach the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape, a lovely area for walks among low hills. If you’re more of a stroller than a hiker, maybe you’d prefer a wander around one of the local heritage attractions – with a drive of 10 minutes you can get to either the ruins of 13th-century Bolingbroke Castle (birthplace of Henry IV) or the grander Gunby Estate, Hall and Gardens, with walled gardens, elaborate interiors and a rather nice tea room. For a different kind of history, head to Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (10 minutes’ drive), which has exhibits about World War II Bomber Command including a Lancaster bomber. Fancy some sea air? It’s a 20-minute drive to Skegness for a walk along the beach, a go on the rides at the amusement park and a visit to Natureland Seal Sanctuary. A little way south of the town, Gibraltar Point (25 minutes’ drive) is a popular location for birdwatchers; you might also spot seals here sometimes.
