  • Family-run site on a 30-acre farm near Horncastle, Lincolnshire
  • Half an hour’s drive to Skegness, and 40 minutes to Gibraltar Point
  • Peaceful pitches in a stargazing area, with lake and woodland walks
Off to Lincolnshire for some rural rest and relaxation? Get back to nature and the simple life with a stay at welcoming New Farm Holidays, set in 30 acres of peaceful woodland near Horncastle. This is properly remote camping, so why not have a wander around the organic farm? There’s bags of room for kids to run off energy in complete safety, building dens, playing games and splashing around in the lake. Or how about sitting back on clear nights to watch the stars twinkling in the Milky Way? Mains electricity, flushing toilets, a hot shower and dishwashing facilities are all available on site, along with wifi. The car park is 100 yards from the pitches, and a large cart is available for guests to shift their gear onto site. A roaring fire is essential when you’re camping, and at New Farm Holiday, every pitch has a dedicated firepit area so you can curl up in the warmth with a glass of wine or cook up a barbecue. A large bag of logs, kindling and firelighters is available for a small charge, or you’re welcome to bring your own logs – but please don’t gather firewood from the woods.

Electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: We arrived to those stunning woods late in the evening, had a little hiccup along the way with our tent and the owner was so helpful and kind! She sorted a pod for us and we ended up staying in that for our whole stay! It was nothing short of magical, relaxing and just so full of nature! Such a hidden gem, will be back again!

Disliked: No complaints!

Meadow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The peacefulness of the campsite, lots of privacy as well as space to roam and explore with the kids. The toilet facilities were kept clean and tidy.

Disliked: The only two things that would have made it better would have been a freezer to keep ice blocks cold and paper towels to dry hands in the toilet with the shower but these are very minor.

Bell tent

Liked: Great accommodation, tent was clean cosy with all items listed on booking site. Easy to contact owners on issues that could arise but none did. Had a lovely short stay!

Disliked: Pigeon in the tree above the tent liked an early start in the morning but expected that in a rural setting so none really!

Electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: - Really lovely campsite in nice quiet and secluded area. - Not very busy so you get lots of space, we camped at the woodland area and there were only 4 other camping / glamming parties with us. - Camping pitches very nice with your own picnic table, campfire pit and matting area. Lots of space between pitches / sites. - Felt really nice being able to enjoy our BBQ and campfires as many sites now do not allow this. - Close to many nice attractions within about 40 mins drive. We’d highly recommend visiting the village of Horncastle, Woodhall Spa for walks and the Kinema in the Woods, which is very retro and unique, also very good value tickets and refreshments. Skegness is about 40 minutes away. - Toilet and shower facilities very nice and cleaned every day. Showers are powerful and have hot water. They also provide washing up liquid and sponges at the washing area. - The WI-FI is surprisingly for a campsite, really reliable and we had no problems with it during our stay.

Disliked: - Folly Lane is the only access road into the camp site and the condition of the road is quite poor so you will need to drive slowly and carefully or risk damaging the car. - You have to park your car in the parking area and then wheelbarrow all your gear over to the camping pitch, which, although not that far away, if you have lots of gear like us then you have to make many trips. I think we did about 12 wheelbarrow trips. Fortunately when we set up camp and during unpacking, the weather was dry, however would dread to think what it would be like if it was rainy. Would be nice to have an option to drive up to the pitch, unload everything and then park back at the car park area.

Local attractions

From coast to countryside, activities to attractions, Lincolnshire has masses to offer all comers, what with family jaunts around a dinosaur trail and encounters with rare arctic foxes at ARK Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (five minutes’ drive), and meeting cheeky parrots or feeding tigers at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park (15 minutes). If you’d rather spot some wildlife actually in the wild, Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve (40 minutes) is the place to be, for rambles across dunes and the chance to spot colonies of common seals. If you like to be beside the seaside, Skegness (half an hour) is a riot of family fun, with amusement arcades, go-karting, mini-golf and fairground rides – and that’s before you hit the sandy beach. If you’d prefer a more sedate trip to the coast, the New Farm team recommend their favourite spot, Chapel Six Marshes (40 minutes). Lincolnshire’s also known for its military connections: the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (10 minutes) is home to one of the few Lancaster Bombers still in existence, and there are more vintage World War Two planes on display at the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors Centre (20 minutes).
