Weekend Trip to Enholmes Meadow

Camping spot is quiet and area is lovely owner is really nice too comes to check on you and asks you if need anything

Weekend Trip to North Norfolk Camping & Glamping

Beautiful site with pitches round the lake and in the forest. So much wildlife including swans and bats! Facilities are rustic and basic but clean, and the site in general is well kept with mowed meadows between wilder growth. The tranquility of the site is somewhat disturbed by gunshots on surrounding farmland every 10 minutes or so from 7am until dusk which we presumed was an automated system to deter birds from the crops? 15 minutes drive to the nearest beach of Salthouse and 5mins to the town of Holt which has plenty of shops selling groceries, pet supplies and fuel.

Weekend Trip to Hollym Holiday Park

facilities are great and site staff are friendly. The shower is a good temperature and theres a fridge available in the pot washing room. There is a pub a short walk away that serves food and a little garden centre that also serves food.

1 night at Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Really, really enjoyed our stay with Deb's and Hannah. The site was spotless, facilities spotless. Lots of little areas such as the fairy garden and the bug/critter friendly area next to the river. Smashing 45 minute walk into March for a coffee. One of my favourite sites and can't wait to go back for our next visit. Very peaceful and calming fab for re-charging your batteries

Weekend Trip to Hunstanton Camping & Glamping

Super location for easy access the coast and coastal path.. A quiet and sheltered little site.

5 nights at Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

We really enjoyed our stay at Four Winds - the pitch was level, good sized and clean. Showers and toilets were well maintained. Great access to the river and the little shop onsite provides snacks/drinks. Pizza on Friday night was a hit!

4 nights at Bircham Windmill

A lovely green, spacious campsite: pitches are big enough to give you space, and there’s a windmill and a great bakery on site - what’s not to like?

Weekend Trip to Enholmes Meadow

It was a lovely setting with Little Egrets nesting in the local woodland. We had nothing but nature in front of our tent with minimal other campers for a bank holiday weekend.

Weekend Trip to Hollym Holiday Park

Everything was great. Good position, close to the sea. Close to Aldi. Electric, water, kitchen, shower on the side. Play area for kids. Bbq allowed . We had a great time . Thank you

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

We stayed here for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend with our 3 children and 2 labradors. We used our inflatable kayak on the river as many families did, I would just highlight that the river to the left of the campsite can get a little fast in the wind and can be difficult to navigate back to site. We walked into March and had lunch at The Acre which was good. Walk to March took about 45 mins, slow walking, however, to walk by the river all the way you need to cross over a bridge on a fast road- there is a footpath though. The site itself is well kept and the wardens are lovely. Gutted we didn't arrive on the Friday for Pizza night! The pitches are very spacious and there is plenty of room for the kids to play games and stretch their legs. People have a good time, however, remain respectful of the other campers.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Family Camping

A nice quiet farm run site, enclosed field for the Dogs to have a run too. Site can also supply logs and fire lighting kits if needed.

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

We had a brilliant weekend at Fourwinds Campsite in March, PE15. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The site is well-maintained, peaceful, and has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere—perfect for unwinding and enjoying nature. A special shoutout goes to Andy, the site warden, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and his local knowledge and friendly nature really added a personal touch to the experience. The pitches were spacious and well laid out, with plenty of room for our tent and gear. Facilities were spotless and regularly cleaned, with excellent showers and toilets. It’s clear the owners take great pride in the site, and it really shows. One of the highlights for us was the beautiful setting—surrounded by open countryside and just a short walk from the river. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or anyone looking for a quiet escape. The location is also ideal for exploring the Fens and nearby attractions. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxing and enjoyable camping experience in Cambridgeshire!

Weekend Trip to Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Great site. Right on the river. Big field. Very clean and friendly. Great for the dogs

3 nights at Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

Such a lovely site. Very tranquil. We biked along the river into town which takes around 15 minutes. The facilities are clean and the kiosk/shop is a real bonus. The private launch straight onto the river was amazing for paddleboarding. We can't wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Springfield Farm Campsite

Friendly welcome,clean and tidy ,ideal for children,loved seeing all the animals

Weekend Trip to Hunstanton Camping & Glamping

Close to beach. Next to the Norfolk Coastal walk. Nigel met us on arrival. Introduced to the dogs and chickens (and spotted a fluffy cat). We loved the relaxed air of the camp field but everything looks like it’s in a state of building or maintenance! Which, to be fair Nigel said they were renovating the barn to accommodate more indoor campers. We had ‘camper van with awning’ as we brought our own bell tent, there were more of this type, one shepherds hut in the same field and at least three other shepherds huts secluded behind the barn. There is the potential for four washing up sinks - only one had water working. Toilet block with three male, three female loos and hand washing. Two showers - also in this block. Side of the barn was also showers and single toilets with two stand alone basins outside. Water points everywhere. We used electric hook up which was good and consistent. WiFi was also working where we were, only used it for the radio though. Some hard standing was a bit dubious with the hard core having glass and pottery mixed in. We brought bicycles and really had to watch where we pushed them. Overall, loved the rustic camp ground, would hope the hard standing would be sorted out soon. Would recommend.

Simple site in the grounds of a 19th-century coaching inn Lincolnshire Wolds walks and Skegness within half an hour's drive Pub with food; a 10-minute walk from the Aviation Heritage Centre Hikes, wildlife and generous helpings of history are all dished up at The Red Lion, a simple site in the grounds of an old Lincolnshire inn. At a crossroads in the village of East Kirkby, The Red Lion has been refreshing travellers since 1841; more recently, it was a favoured watering hole for the men and women of Bomber Command in World War II, and the pub’s décor pays tribute to them. The staff are steeped in the history of the old coaching inn and the nearby airfield, and can point you towards the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, 10 minutes’ walk down the road and on the site of the former Royal Air Force base. The Red Lion makes a splendid base for aviation and wartime history buffs, with the heritage centre nearby and the displays and memorials of the International Bomber Command Centre a 45-minute drive away. As it’s on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and around half an hour's drive from the coast, it’s also well placed for walks, stately home visits and wildlife watching. Most importantly, it’s at the back of a friendly pub (which has varied winter and summer opening days and hours, but is always closed on Mondays). It serves hot food alongside local beers and other refreshing tipples. Canine companions are welcome in the bar (it’d be nice if they bought a drink…) and on the site. Electric vehicle charging is onsite in the public house car park this is chargeable through an app and full instructions are given for once you have booked and paid for your charging slot,

Caravan parks in Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve guide

Overview

For its tiny extent (under two square miles!) Gibraltar Point NNR, south of popular beach resort Skegness, packs in an impressive array of landscapes. Two banks of sand dunes are centred in a tract of salt marsh, while bordering it to the east is the sand, mud, and shingle beachscape that forms the northern edge of The Wash—one of England’s largest estuaries. These contrasting habitats make the reserve and its encircling marshes a mecca for many bird species to be seen while walking the trails winding through the reserve. The closest camping is at Skegness, three miles north, or west via footpath around Wainfleet All Saints.

Where to go

Skegness

Chances are that visitors will arrive at Gibraltar Point NNR from Skegness—Lincolnshire’s most popular seaside resort. Skegness excels in traditional seaside activities with a long, tan sandy beach, pleasure pier, funfair, boating lake, and crazy golf course. Follow the beach and dunes out to the reserve on foot from Skegness’ seafront. Camping is mostly found in busy holiday parks and caravan parks around the edges of town.

Wainfleet All Saints

Not the closest place to the reserve by road yet only a leisurely walk across the marshes, the handsome old town of Wainfleet All Saints has amassed several excellent, laid-back campsites in its immediate environs. It also has a station on the Nottingham-Skegness line. A network of paths leads out across the marshes, which attract much of the same birdlife that the reserve does, and you can continue by footpath via Havenhouse Station to reach the reserve’s North Car Park area.

North Car Park Area

Coming from Skegness three miles north, this is the first part of the reserve you reach. From the car park and picnic area, you can access the reserve’s main circular trail, which takes in a mix of saltmarsh, dunes, and lakes. Most bird hides are in this zone too. The nearest camping is around Wainfleet All Saints, where there are a few choices.

Visitor Centre Area

Continuing south beyond the North Car Park area, you’ll hit the NNR’s heart—where you can find a car park, picnic area, and visitor centre, which informs about the birds that are spottable here, from skylarks to brent geese. Pick up the reserve’s circular trail, offering a taster of the area’s various habitats, or walk out to a viewpoint over The Wash. Several campsites can be found around nearby Wainfleet All Saints.
