  • Small Lincolnshire site next to a working farm with horses and sheep
  • A 15-minute drive to Lincoln; about one hour to the North Sea coast
  • Five minutes’ walk to a golf course; half an hour’s walk to the pub
Small in size but offering a big welcome, Branston Moor Campsite is a peaceful spot about seven miles south east of Lincoln (15 minutes’ drive). Close to the village of Branston (five minutes), where there are pub and supermarket amenities, this rural spot sits next to the owners’ working farm, so you may catch sight of horses and sheep while you’re out and about around the pitches. In addition to well-maintained and level grounds, Branston Moor has access to simple facilities such as a small toilet block with flushing toilets, showers and a washing-up shack with cold taps and a small fridge. Guests here are also welcome to build a campfire – as long as the weather conditions mean it’s safe to do so. If you like to play golf, the nearest course is just up the road (about five minutes away on foot); if that’s not your thing, there are lots of cycling and walking trails in the local area too, not to mention a pub in nearby Potterhanworth (about half an hour’s walk away). While many guests will want to stick close to base and focus on exploring Lincoln or the Lincolnshire Wolds, it’s pretty easy to get out to the coast too, since seaside spots like Mablethorpe or Donna Nook can be reached in about an hour by car.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Everything. We usually camp in a tent but stayed in the shepherd's hut. It was perfect, everything was thought of (even hot water bottles but we didn't need them). The hut has ample space, and outside there is a small kitchen in a trailer for washing up etc. There is also a shower hut and compost toilet for use by those staying in the hut. The site was quite and friendly. We will definitely stay again (either in our tent or the shepherds hut). We met Roy a couple of times and he was very friendly, he was also very quick to respond to messages.

Disliked: Nothing

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Branston Moor was a very small campsite with lovely clean facilities, perfect for a quiet evening campfire. The overall site is small and therefore is not recommended for groups. Although they do not have many, the toilets were some of the cleanest campsite toilets I have seen. Next to a farm and a field containing some beautiful horses. The field was lovely and flat therefore great level pitches. We don't have electrical hook up but I noticed they had the option if required. It was easy enough to find, but be on the look out because the sign post is a little small.

Disliked: The showers were unfortunately out of use except for one and that one was very small and no evidence of a light, so unless you took a touch in the evening or early morning would be dark. However this was not a major issue.

Local attractions

Consecrated at the end of the 11th century, the cathedral in Lincoln has a spectacular vaulted interior and stained-glass windows, while Lincoln Castle displays one of only four existing copies of the original Magna Carta. On the outskirts of the city, Boultham Mere Nature Reserve is an area of wetlands inhabited by wintering birds. National Trust - Tattershall Castle (half an hour’s drive) is an imposing medieval fortress built in red brick. Its Great Tower is adorned with huge Flemish tapestries, ornate windows and oversized fireplaces. It is possible to walk along the battlements for far-reaching views of the Lincolnshire Fens. A day at the seaside is always a good idea, so head to the North Sea coast to places such as Mablethorpe (one hour), with a vast sandy beach popular with watersports enthusiasts, and the seafront Queen’s Park, featuring a paddling pool, boating lake and miniature golf. Donna Nook (one hour) is a breeding ground for grey seals.
