About The Big Sky Hideaway

A peaceful campsite perfect for a family getaway or a quiet solo trip, just ten minutes to the Lincolnshire market town of Boston and 30 minutes to the coast. Enjoy peaceful meadow camping or unique glamping options and create some unforgettable memories together by meeting the onsite alpacas, games in the communal barn or telling stories around the fire pit. Those wishing to camp in a tent have the option of the 12 non electric meadow pitches, surrounded by long grass and spaced out from each other for privacy. These vehicle-free pitches are perfect for those wanting to escape the noise, with wheelbarrows on site to help you transport your stuff! These pitches measure 6m x 6m so plenty of space for up to two tents and and five people. The site can also accommodate those in larger groups or families upon request. Each pitch comes with a complimentary fire pit for those nights in the open. Shared facilities are close by. If you are choosing to stay in a campervan, there is space in the site's tree-planting meadow just for you! There are just five non electric pitches here suitable for up to four people, a great spot for some peace and quiet. For those who don't want to bring their accommodation with them, there is also a large range of glamping on offer. Enjoy all the fun of camping without having to set up your tent when you arrive! Float between the trees with the Stingray tent, set above an extra platform to use during the day and a rope ladder connecting the lounging hammock with the bedroom. Outside is a fire pit and seating. The haven hammocks, have a comfortable lay flat design for something a bit different to your usual night's sleep. Each hammock is insulated with storage pockets, and surrounded by a small garden with seating and a fire pit, or there is a woodland shelter for a larger space, just bring your sleeping bag and pillow! You can opt for the 5m furnished bell tent equipped with beds for six, lighting, outside seating and a fire pit. Or, the Lotus Belle Tent which is set in a private corner of the site, sleeping up to four. Equipped with a double bed and two singles, solar panelled lights, an outdoor fire pit with seating and a cool box. Facilities are nearby.

The camp kitchens are sheltered and hammocks are always provided for extra nap time. The Cosy Cocoon is the smallest landpod and is perfect for a peaceful retreat.

Bell Tent - Furnished Bell TentAug 2024

We just returned from a long weekend at Big Sky Hideaway Camping and Glamping and what a fantastic weekend it was! Dave and Emms have created a wonderful space over their many acres. There are lots of options for camping (we quite fancy the school bus next time!), we opted for a Bell Tent for our stay. We are not experienced campers - so this offers the perfect balance for us. Our tent was spacious and clean, and fitted a double & 2 single mattresses for our family stay. We were set in the meadow, and thanks to the lovely long grasses & wildflowers, had complete privacy, and could convince ourselves we were alone in the wilderness! Despite this being their busiest weekend ever, the site was lovely and quiet at night-time, which was hugely appreciated. In terms of facilities, Dave & Emms have stayed true to their Eco-friendly cause. The drop toilets were clean (so much better than portaloos!) and the shower was an experience! There was also a sink in the meadow for drinking water and washing dishes. Over by the barn, there was a football goal - I think our boys spent most of their time playing football with other families (with Dave making the odd cameo appearance!). This is a nice social space with picnic tables as well as the barn. The barn, which has morning and evening opening hours (coffee shop, shop and bar in the evening!), was a brilliant addition. The kids enjoyed the table tennis (and have vowed to beat Dave next time), and again it was a nice social space. On a rainy Saturday, they also opened it up and put a movie on for the kids which was a nice touch! One of our favourite moments was our experience with the Alpacas - dont miss out on this. They are adorable and some lovely memories made. Overall we had a blast and really highly recommend a stay at Big Sky Hideaway. Dave and Emms are wonderful hosts - on hand to help, super organised in terms of supplying firewood etc, but it's up to you to make the most of the experience. Thank you!

Great campsite

Small Tent - Non Electric Meadow Camping PitchesAug 2024

Just went for a single night with my young son for his first night of camping. The campsite is lovely. Great place for both children and adults. My boy particularly loved the Alpacas. The owners are fantastic and very accommodating. We will definitely be going back.

Amazing, magical place to runaway from busy lives

Glamping - The YesbusAug 2024

Absolutely stunning, quiet and peaceful place. Definitely worth to go and feed alpacas, they are super friendly and soft! Great experience! Being there 3 nights gave us time to relax from social interaction and busy lives. Owners are very friendly and helpful. On the day we were leaving booked another stay with them, that says it all. TheYesBus I would recommend, very clean and lovely place. Don't need to be scared to stay without network data for a few days, it's so worth it. Time slows down when you are there, like a magical place. This is now our favourite place and we will be going back to escape reality there. Thank you very much!
