Camping in Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire's flat, open landscape and quiet lanes make it good territory for campsites and glamping, with a strong scattering of small farm-based sites rather than big holiday parks. Near Alford and Market Rasen you're within reach of the Wolds, while sites around Boston, Spalding and Stickney sit closer to the fens and coast, handy for exploring Lincolnshire's waterways and market towns.

Many of the county's pitches are certificated locations or working farms offering a handful of spots, such as Buttercup Farm Certificated Location or JJEB Farm, which suit those wanting a low-key stay away from crowds. For something more comfortable, places like Bain View Glamping, Waites Farm Glamping and Charabanc Meadows offer furnished pods and cabins, while Herigerbi Park and Ashleigh Farm Caravan and Glamping cater to both campers and glampers on the same site.

Choosing between them often comes down to setting: Lincoln and Gainsborough put you near the city and river, while Grantham and Haltham suit those wanting easy access south towards Rutland and the A1. Spring Bottom Farm and Pear Tree Cottage at Poplar Farm are typical of the smaller, rural options spread right across the county.
