Oakhill Leisure is a great location for those looking to get away from it all. Located close to Lincoln and Newark, yet well away from busy living - the whole reason you're going camping! There's an expansive fishing lake here and plenty of woodland to explore - with pets welcome too. Open year round.

About Oakhill Leisure

Oakhill Leisure is close to the historic market town of Newark and the cathedral city of Lincoln. Set within 70 acres of managed woodlands, lake and fields, you're free to roam, relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. There are 20 touring pitches with electric hook ups, all on well cut and maintained grass. Tents are also welcome and there are grassed non electric pitches for campers. Ask to pitch up in one of the rally fields, sorry no electric hook up here, and you will be well away from it all. A 20-30 minute walk takes you around the fishing lake, woodlands and fields on site and makes the perfect excuse for some daily exercise. If you can't be bothered to pitch your own tent, try the site's glamping arc ready tent which overlooks the fishing lake. It sleeps two comfortably with two sofa beds, a barbecue fridge and microwave. There is a lovely outdoor area with table and chairs provided overlooking the lake.

Oakhill Leisure is open from 01/01 to 07/08 and 08/09 to 31/12 in 2024 and from 01/01 to 06/08 and 08/09 to 31/12 in 2025.

Motorhome - Electric Grass Touring PitchesOct 2024

Somewhat difficult to find. The Sat-Nav use of postcode brings you to the village. There is no listing for the road used as their address on our Sat-Nav - by chance, a road in the village (with a different name) leads onto, or was formerly called, the named road, but any information about the roads suitability for large vehicles is not known, like height, width or weight restrictions not known or given. Largely given over to sited caravans, but there are spaces for tourers and motorhome/campervans. Warden lives on site, which has gated barriers. Good facilities block. Created for fishermen, with lake next door said to contain sizeable fish. There are walks around the site, rally fields and a play area for children but 3 miles from civilisation.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Superb service was provided by the 2 staff who run the site. The washing up and shower facilities are new and kept spotless during the day. A number of caravans occupy the site but not all are occupied at any given time so availability of showers and washing up is excellent. A great base from which to explore Lincolnshire!

Yes! You may bring up to one of each for a small extra fee.


On site, fishing is popular - especially for carp weighing in at up to a mighty 35lb. There is plenty of space for dog walks among 70 acres of fields and woodland. Just how far can you throw that ball?
