  • 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.

FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked Small well kept site with spotless facilities and lovely views over the fishing lakes. The town of Spilsby is well within walking distance for 2 supermarkets, 3 pubs, and a good selection of takeaways. I personally recommend the fish and chips and the Nelson Butt pub which offers great atmosphere and drinks and fantastic food (be prepared to book for Sunday lunch) at reasonable prices. Don't be put off by the metered electric. Over 4 nights, we in a motorhome used a little over 29 kwh of which 16 is inclusive of the pitch cost. At the end of our stay we paid an extra £3 for the electric. This was in October and we had the heating on overnight.

Disliked Not much to dislike at all. Minor issue with the position of the smoke alarm in the facilities which is just a little too close to the shower cubicles and got triggered by the steam.

Liked We really enjoyed our stay at Woodlands Fishery. The site is really well maintained, well laid out and very peaceful. All credit to the friendly owners, keep up the good work ! All pitches have electric, water and drainage on hardstanding, mainly level but we did need the addition of our wheel blocks. The site is a short walk into the town which has several pubs, cafes, weekly market etc. etc. We went by a regular bus service from the town to Skegness and Horncastle. We also caught an evening bus and visited The Red Lion Inn at Raithby which we can recommend. My partner enjoyed several fishing opportunities during our 6 night stay, with the lakes being only a short walk from our pitch. Can highly recommend Woodlands Fishery.

Disliked Just a note to future winter visitors, do take a torch with you for evenings, although there is lighting on site there are areas where a torch is needed.

Liked Liked every thing,: Nicely design pitches area, beautiful natural mature landscape around the 5 lakes with wildlife, peaceful & ECO friendly site : ECO washing up liquid, recycling waste bins & a CDP are provided. The owners are pleasantly friendly & very helpful. We received a very warm welcome on arrival. There is also a shop on site. New & spotlessly cleaned washing-up area & showers / toilets. With attention to detail : a hairdryer is also provided ! Spacious shower cubicles fitted with seat, several coat hooks, large shower head with a tap to regulate the hot water to your desired temperature & the automatic length of run-time for the hot water is suitable for a good wash! Great view over the lakes from our pitch. 5 lakes to choose from, great coarse fishing opportunities. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. Will definitely come 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.
