  • Peaceful Lincolnshire Wolds park less than a mile from Market Rasen
  • On the Lindsey Trail for cycling, walking and riding
  • Dog-friendly site with launderette and centrally heated bathroom block
If we were fortunate enough to possess our own nag, we'd surely be cantering forth to this campsite on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds as soon as ever we could. For Walesby Woodlands Caravan Park, run by Paul and Julia in a peaceful woodland setting, is bang on the Lindsey Trail, yielding miles upon miles of trotting (and ambling, and cycling) opportunities through the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Walesby is a quiet park, used as a base by clever campers who want to explore the attractions and villages of the Wolds or delve into local countryside pursuits like fishing, golf and wildlife watching. It's less than a mile from Market Rasen for traditional shops, a farm shop, bakery, butchers, supermarket, pubs, fishing, golf and the Market Rasen Racecourse. The site is also within driving distance of Skegness and the Lincolnshire coast. The pitch price includes free hot water for the centrally heated shower and loo block. Walesby Woodlands also has a launderette, Calor gas for sale and an automatic security barrier for added safety. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please note that the owners are keen not to disturb resident wildlife so they keep light levels low by night. The toilet block is well-lit but it's a clever idea to pack a torch to find your way there.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: The main draw for us was the children's park and our two daughter's loved it (6 & 3). I had requested a pitch opposite and we were lucky that this was available. Along with the slightly later check out time which most sites don't have (we have a folding caravan so the later we can check out the better).
The site was really well maintained with great sized pitches. The toilets and showers were always very clean and warm, particularly welcoming in the middle of the night as there was ice on the cars for a couple of them.
The site did have wifi which was mostly good. It dropped out occasionally but nothing major and we were thankful of it for the kids to watch a film at bedtimes.
The owner and another gentleman who helped to run the site were both friendly and helpful.
We noticed a little coffee / snack van that came daily and parked on the lane which we didn't use this time but they sold ice creams etc so great for warmer days.
Plenty of nice walks and not to far to walk into the main town where there was a small selection of shops and a couple of supermarkets.

Disliked: Whilst we were there the boiler system was replaced and updated meaning that the toilets / showers / hot water were out of use from 9am until initially 2pm. we do have a camping toilet in the awning but for obvious reasons we avoid using it. We were told if we needed to use them to just let them know and they would use buckets of water to flush them away.... Not sure anybody wants to do that really. The toilets where switched on again just after 2pm but the hot was off until around 8/8.30pm meaning we couldn't wash up properly or have showers until late (we prefer evening showers to warm us up before bed). The hot water in the taps remained off to preserve water for the showers until the following morning. I specifically book sites with facilities as we don't have them in our unit so to have them turned off for the majority of the day was rather disappointing, especially when it is what we had paid for.
I fully understand and appreciate that maintenance needs to take place but it could have been better planned to not happen in the children's school holidays during the easter bank holiday week. Particularly as from what my husband was told this was being done as a cost saving exercise for the site, as opposed to there being a fault that needed urgent repair.
That being said the showers were always nice and hot before and after the replacement.

Liked: The location of the campsite is great, very quiet but easily accessible and totally surrounded by woods with amazing trails throughout.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Site beautifully tidy and exceptionally clean toilet/shower block that was always heated.
Picnic benches near reception set out beautifully.
Toilets always well stocked and always plenty of hot water.
Washing up/veg prep area with plenty of hot water and plenty of room.
Plenty of interesting places accessible on foot by trails through the woods, quiet country lanes or a short drive depending on your preference .
Loved that this dog friendly campsite had a huge field with gateway through that you could take your dog to and let them off lead for a good run around.
WiFi and electric hook up availability was great.

Disliked: Nothing

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: We loved the setting of this campsite. Gorgeously situated nestled in woodlands it was brilliant for walks and cycling. There are miles of walks and trails literally from the campsite. We especially loved that you could walk to a lovely farm shop within ten minutes on a flat trail through the woods. The farm shop has a cafe that sells lovely food too. The wardens were friendly and the pitches were generously sized too. There are a lot of seasonal campers on site but we found them all really welcoming.

Disliked: The showers are those awful push button showers which literally only last for five seconds unless you try to hold them in whilst showering. Not the most convenient but they were hot and clean so can’t really complain.

Local attractions

For day trips, Skegness, Mablethorpe and Cleethorpes on the Lincolnshire coast can be reached in about an hour in the car and lovely Lincoln is within about 40 minutes' drive. If you prefer to stick closer to home on your own feet/wheels, Walesby Woodlands is on both the 75 miles of the Lindsey Trail and the National Cycle Trail One. The Viking Way, from the Humber Bridge in north Lincolnshire to Oakham in Rutland, also passes near the park, as does the 78-mile circular Lincolnshire Wolds Way (handily broken into daily sections of about six hours each). Lincolnshire is pretty nifty for market towns and shopping, like at Louth, Horncastle and Woodhall Spa, all well within an hour's drive; be sure and wheel back many samples from Louth's award-winning The Cheese Shop. At Woodhall Spa, have an old-fashioned evening out at Kinema in the Woods, entertaining those around the area since 1922 and with its own 18th-century organ – and organist.
