About The Old Wheelwrights Retreat
This adult only site is tucked away behind large wooden gates, and set in two acres of restful land, making it ideal for peace and quiet. Close to both the Lincolnshire Coast (20 minutes) and the Lincolnshire Wolds (35 minutes), it is an ideal location to explore all that this beautiful county has to offer. The site has only five touring pitches available, all with 10 amp electric. The pitches all offer picturesque views across the wildlife pond but do require levelling blocks due to the sloping terrain. If you're wanting to enjoy the beautiful sandy beaches of Lincolnshire, you are within 30 minutes of Ingoldmells Beach, Huttoft Beach and Mablethorpe North Promenade. The site is a certified location with Caravan and Motorhome Club and is for members only. Dogs are welcome free of charge.
Open from 1 March to 31 October
There are no toilets or showers onsite, guests must bring their own facilities. The site has electric hook ups and a shepherd's hut used as an information room.
