  • Simple pitches at a Lincolnshire farm five minutes’ drive from Wragby
  • A 10-minute walk from a nature reserve and swimming/watersports lake
  • Woodland views; 15 minutes’ drive from the Lincolnshire Wolds
A little walk in the Lincolnshire Wolds, followed by an open-water swim or paddleboarding at neighbouring Ocean Walker Academy (addtional charge for the latter two)? If that sounds like a pretty fine way to spend a day, plot a course to Forest View Camping, in the Lincolnshire countryside five minutes’ drive from Wragby and 20 minutes from Market Rasen. The views and vibe here are mighty peaceful, as the site looks out over farmland and the next-door woodland (part of the Bardney Limewoods National Nature Reserve). The surrounding area, though, is packed with things to do: for starters, a 10-minute walk will get you to Chambers Farm Woods for woodland walks, picnic spots and a butterfly garden. Other days out? Well, it’ll take you about 15 minutes in the car to get to the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for a stroll or to meet the residents of the Wolds Wildlife Park. The centre of Lincoln is about 25 minutes away for city wanders, and Skegness 45 minutes for a bit of beach time. Back at base, it’s a fairly simple setup that’s been designed to integrate well with its setting on a family-run working farm. Pitches are flat and well maintained, and have access to modern toilet and shower facilities.

Victoria C.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Immaculately clean facilities. Lovely rural location. Pick your own pitch and crack on, we liked the laid back approach. Didn’t actually meet any staff during our 2 night stay. We would definitely go back again but a few things to note, the first field is quite slopped so it isn’t that easy to get parked level if you’re in a larger Motorhome/camper (we’re 7.4m long), you will needs ramps.

We booked the site because so many reviews said it was peaceful and quiet, which we can imagine is very true at certain times, we were there over a weekend in August so a lot of children running around late at night shouting and screaming and a large private booking in another field with a lively group of ladies playing music and games (they were having a great time and were quiet by nightfall). Neither of these things were a big issue and certainly hasn’t put us off returning but just wanted to mention it in case someone is looking to book a stay for a peaceful quiet rest, perhaps check if there’s any groups etc booked in first.

We also visited the Ocean Walker Academy for a lovely swim (must be pre-booked online) which is a short walk down the lane from the camp site and the local walking paths through surrounding forests were also great.

Kim H.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The site itself is very spacious and quiet with plenty of room for activities. I was camping alone with my little boy and we felt very safe and secure. Toilets and the shower were absolutely spotless and top quality. Love the fact no loud music etc is allowed, me and my son had an absolute blast. We are coming again this bank holiday to camp as we enjoyed it so much.
Just remember to bring a slab to put your fire pit on (luckily we did)
You can even get eggs and sausages on site too. There’s also a fresh water tap outside, very handy, and a pot wash room.
All in all a very professionally run and clean place to go camping, thanks so much

Disliked Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Local attractions

There are lots of walks and cycle routes to follow in the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but if you’d like something to get the heart rate going a bit faster, try a high ropes course at Wild Pines Park (20 minutes’ drive) or go indoor go-karting at Gridline Racing (25 minutes). Animal encounters are easy to come by in this area too – stop by to meet the farm animals at Rand Farm Park (10 minutes) or Tattershall Farm Park (half an hour) or plan days out meeting the bigger beasts at Woodside Wildlife Park (10 minutes) or Wolds Wildlife Park (15 minutes). Other days out nearby might include a city day in Lincoln (25 minutes), where you can visit the cathedral and castle while strolling around the historic centre, or Skegness (45 minutes) for the pleasure beach, aquarium, seal sanctuary and games of golf (the full game or fun rounds of adventure golf).
