  • Peaceful touring site near Bourne, Lincolnshire
  • Beautiful location near a river and woodland; dogs are welcome
  • Close to historic town of Stamford and the famed Burghley House
Grab the dog (if you've got one – no need to acquire one specially) and head to Cresslands Touring Park in South Lincolnshire for woodland walks and lazy days near the River Glen. A good base for exploring the surroundings and enjoying a bit of outdoor time, the park is five minutes from a peaceful woodland, for long walks and spotting wildlife (including the kingfishers which live along this stretch of the glen). Guests can also head to the nearby river for walks, or take bikes out onto quiet countryside lanes. Not got a mutt? The site's also welcoming to cats, rabbits… even kids. Whoever's in your party, head to the opposite riverbank for a popular walking spot leading to the nature reserve along the Macmillan Way, a long-distance footpath linking Boston in Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury in Dorset. After all that fresh air you won’t have to venture far for a drink and a bite to eat – Waterside Garden Centre is 500 metres away with a restaurant, and there are a few pubs around a mile away if you fancy some pub grub. Cresslands is four miles south of Bourne, which has a greater selection of eateries, and the historic town of Stamford, with its attractions such as the famed Burghley House and Park and open-air theatre, is about a 25-minute drive. Bathroom facilities on site include two showers, two toilets and two wash basins with instant hot water and nifty extras including shaver ports and hand dryers. Two washing-up sinks and a washing machine are also available.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Very clean, secure with well set out private pitches and excellent facilities at this beautiful little site. Felt very welcome and would recommend staying here.

Disliked Road noise can be a bit intrusive. It wasn’t a problem for me but my wife struggled with it, especially at night as she is a light sleeper.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Lovely little site. Met by David and guided to our pitch. Everything from start to finish was spot on. Spacious level pitch with hedges for privacy. Beautiful grass area to the back of our pitch to sit out. Facilities very clean. This is a site we won’t hesitate to return to.

Disliked On arrival wondered if the road noise would bother us….. It didn’t. You totally forget all about it as this is such a lovely site with a very welcoming host.

Liked Lovely little site. Very nice owner. Lovely facilities. Had gone to a lot of trouble to make sure everything had been thought of. The road next to it was a little noisy but we didn’t really notice. Lots of lovely walks straight from the site and a good location for many more

Disliked Nothing

Sandra R.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Easy to find next to the A15 a few miles from Bourne.
Warm welcome from David the owner. Lovely smaller tidy site with plenty of space. The fully serviced leval pitches were divided byv hedging to give more privacy. Shower, toilet & pot/ laundry area all really clean & tidy. Great value for money.
Next to the river Glen, with plenty of seats to enjoy the view & watch the wildlife. Lovely Riverside walk & Waterside Garden Centre serving good food near by. Bus route to various locations. Some road noise but offset by location. Visited Stamford & Burghley House & Gardens.

Disliked Nothing.

Loved the clean toilets and shower block and enjoyed exploring….. nice walks, cute river, and hubby even got to see the kingfishers!

Disliked The road alongside seemed to be noisy into the night and again quite early in the morning

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Beautiful site managed by our host David who has made the site into a first class touring park. The whole place is a labour of love and has been designed with spacious pitches all serviced with both water and electric and grey waste disposal. We were made to feel very welcome. There is a lovely walk just off the site and our Labrador took full advantage of having a dip under the bridge in the stream. Although only a short stopover on our way back home to Norfolk we would most certainly return should we head that way again.

Disliked Some road noise but nothing major and it didn’t disturb our sleep

Local attractions

Go wandering in Bourne Woods, a peaceful and ancient woodland around five minutes away by car, or give your legs a real workout by linking up with the Macmillan Way for 290 miles of footpath crossing the Lincolnshire Fens. Visit Burghley House and Park, a 16th-century country house near Stamford (25 minutes by car), built for Elizabeth I's lucky Lord High Treasurer Lord Burghley. Sights to see include the Great Hall with hammer beam roof, collections of 17th-century Italian paintings, the gorgeous Heaven Room painted by Verrio, and the gardens packed with sculptures, flowers and plants. While in Stamford, pay visits to All Saints Church and the Stamford Arts Centre, home to art galleries and the tourist info centre. You might also stroll around the Stamford meadows for birdwatching or a picnic on the banks of the Welland. Another option in town is All Saints Brewery, for guided tours of the microbrewery and tastings of its specialised fruit beers. For folk seeking a slice of city life, Peterborough is a 25-minute drive away.
