White House Farm Campsite, Wardlow

60 units · Motorhomes, Tents4 acres · Wardlow, England

What a little Derbyshire gem: back to basics Whitehouse Farm Campsite is a simple site in a most scenic setting five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Tideswell. The site’s central location in the Peak District National Park means it’s a top spot for those who want to ramble or ride bikes – several circular trails leave from Tideswell and the traffic-free Monsal Trail is a five-minute drive away. And there’s plenty more activity if you require it too, as activity centres nearby can sort you out days of horse riding, abseiling, climbing and caving. All this activity isn’t mandatory, of course – this is an equally fine location for days pottering off to local pubs, pigging out on pudding in Bakewell or taking a leisurely stroll around the Chatsworth Estate, 20 minutes away. And if even that’s too much, you’d be welcome to spend some time loafing about on site: there’s heaps of space here, and as facilities have been kept quite minimal (just showers and toilets) there should be a good serving of peace and quiet to go with it all. Guests are welcome to light up a barbecue or campfire for cookouts and keeping warm; Tideswell’s the place for supermarket supplies, and it’s also handily got a fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs for days when your firelighting skills aren't up to much.

Oxcombe Campsite

10 units · Tents4 acres · Horncastle, Lincolnshire, East Midlands

- Simple rural campsite set in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds. - A 30-minute drive to Skegness; 45 minutes to Fantasy Island. - Peaceful pitches on a working farm. Tucked into secluded fields in the spectacular Lincolnshire Wolds, Oxcombe Campsite is a dog-friendly spot and haven for outdoor-loving families. It’s on a working farm with grazing cattle in surrounding fields, so while your dogs are welcome, please keep them under control. This is a simple site with peaceful rural views over All Saints Church in Oxcombe – and yet it’s also close to handy things like farm shops, market towns Louth and Horncastle, and plenty of pubs within a five-minute drive. It’s a short car journey to Skegness if you fancy a night out, and there are adventure parks, stately mansions and golf courses close by too – in short, plenty to keep all the family entertained. If you’re keen to get and about in nature, you’re also in the right spot. Cyclists and walkers, follow a bridle path from the farm and jump on the Viking Way, while there are easier strolls along Lincoln-Washingbrough Tow Path. You can also get out in the bracing sea air and play hide-and-seek with the kids among sand dunes at Moggs Eye and Gibraltar Point beaches. Back at base the handful of facilities at this simple rural site include showers and loos in the toilet block, use of an indoor communal area plus a washing machine and tumble dryer. A small number of communal firepits are available to borrow and you can also buy sacks of logs (with kindling and firestarters) on site. Open fires are not permitted but you're welcome to bring gas stoves or disposable barbecues along.

Narnia Retreat

2 units · Glamping2 acres · Horncastle, Lincolnshire, East Midlands

At Narnia, you’ll be stepping headfirst into a woodland escape just outside the Lincolnshire Wolds. This remote-feeling place is quite the hidey-hole, as you’ll have the bell tent and woodland space to yourself, so you can unwind away and get down to some real quality time. Surrounded by a quiet, five-acre Georgian estate that’s been in the countryside for 200 years, this is quite a royal-feeling stay. The entrance is through a door dubbed the entrance to Narnia, complete with a lamp post for the full fantasy. Around the site, there are fairy lights, so it’s an ambient place to unwind, perhaps while looking up to the sky from your private hot shower, having a soak in the outdoor bathtub or having a picnic under the tree chandelier. The interior’s cosy too and on the luxury side, thanks to an antique French bed and chandelier. Of course, treats and things to eat may quickly be on your mind, and that’s no problem here, as Horncastle (10 minutes’ drive) is a local market town with a vibrant pub, village café, farm shops and supermarkets. The energy might come in handy for the Lincolnshire Wolds’ walking and cycling trails. The edge of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is just over 300 metres away from the site, so you’ll be able to get there in no time (five minutes’ walk to be exact). There's often wildlife to be seen right on site too: while you relax you may spot wild rabbits, muntjac deer and pheasants, plus all sorts of birds flying overhead.

Camping in Lincolnshire Wolds AONB guide

Overview

The Lincolnshire Wolds make up a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Lincolnshire. The region contains some of the most unspoilt countryside in the East Midlands, with rolling hills and valleys and clean streams, as well as pretty old villages. The woodlands, grasslands, and abandoned chalk pits provide important habitats for flora and fauna, particularly birds. Campers have many options throughout the Lincolnshire Wolds, either in the villages or in more natural settings. The area is especially popular for its walking, cycling, and horse-riding trails, with campsites good bases for outdoor exploration.

Where to go

Louth

On the eastern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, historic Louth is full of Victorian and Georgian architecture. Louth is also especially renowned as a foodie haven, with markets and specialist butcher’s and cheese shops gaining a nationwide reputation–ideal for self-catering campers. Louth is near the popular local park Hubbard’s Hills, formed over 40,000 years ago by a glacial overspill channel. Campers have several options around the town, including pod camping and caravan parks.

Alford

If you’re looking for charming old thatched cottages, head directly to Alford, in the south east of the Lincolnshire Wolds and also very near the coast. It’s a market town and a good place to stock up on fresh produce for your camping adventures. There are several places to pitch a tent or park your caravan or motorhome, and thatched cottages that have been converted into holiday homes are also available–a particularly good option outside of the warmer summer months.

Caistor

In the north of the Lincolnshire Wolds, ancient Caistor has Roman and Viking history. It sees a lot of walkers passing through as it’s on the Viking Way, a 147-mile walk that starts on the banks of Lincolnshire’s Humber River and continues all the way to Rutland Water, east of Leicester. There are a lot of camping and other accommodation options at the Caistor Lakes Leisure Park, as well as an abundance of fish in the reservoirs here.

Skegness

While not in the Lincolnshire Wolds, the popular Lincolnshire Coast resort town of Skegness is just a short drive to the south-east. Campers who want to be near the beach can camp at caravan parks in Skegness and visit the wolds on a day trip. There are many family-friendly camping options here, from farm parks and holiday parks to cabins and basic tent sites.
