Why stay here ...
CL of the Year Awards
2014 - Regional Winner
2013 - 1st Place
2012 - Regional Winner
Greetham Retreat CL was opened by the owners Rob and Jeanette Folwell in 2010. A tranquil and very popular site, set in over 4 acres of natural private parkland-type grounds that include areas of woodland, wildlife ponds, wildflower meadows with mowed pathways along with several seating areas taking advantage of the panoramic views across the surrounding open countryside of the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds (which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)). The grounds attract much wildlife throughout the year.
CL site
Everyone’s welcome, especially pets. We’ve five spacious level hardstandings and one grass pitch terraced across a slight incline. They have 16-amp electric hook-ups with space for awning and car with a good-quality access roadway. A dedicated shower and WC facility also provided for guests to use when staying. Open most of the year, from 1st March until Xmas and New Year.
Things to do
We’re ideally located for exploring. About 3 miles from the market town of Horncastle, famous for its many antique and collectables shops. We’re located about halfway between the historic Cathedral City of Lincoln and the wide sandy beaches along the East Coast, and resorts like Skegness, Sutton-on-Sea and Mablethorpe all within easy reach. We’re close to several aviation heritage museums, including the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and various nature reserves; Snipe Dales and Gibraltar Point for those who enjoy wildlife or bird watching. Caldwell Park for motorsports and Market Rasen racecourse are also nearby.
The Lincolnshire Wolds are ideal for those who enjoy walking or cycling. There is plenty to do to keep everyone occupied, and other attractive market towns nearby, like Boston, Louth, Spilsby and Woodhall Spa ideal for those who wish to explore. Alternatively, you can just enjoy our beautiful site and take a stroll around the grounds where you can relax and unwind from the stresses of daily life, or take a picnic on the tables alongside our lovely wildlife pond.

Greetham Retreat CL
Previous reviews made choosing Greetham Retreat an easy choice, and we were not disappointed. Rob provides clear and precise directions (hurrah! so many don't !) and you know on arrival you are at a well planned and cared for CL.
The facilities are spotless, the grounds and landscaping well cared for, and the on-site dog walk a fantastic bonus for our terrier. If you like beaches, you will be spoilt for choice (Anderby Creek was our favourite) and there are numerous lovely walks in the locality (Don't miss Snipe Dales Country Park). Gunby NT is also a lovely place to while away the day. Rob has a fantastic information centre bursting with local info, so even if you turn up with no local knowledge, you can research and get organised.
Highly Recommended.
Why arn't all CLs as good as this?

Stayed here for a few days at the end of August 2023. A very well thought out CL. All the facilities you need and all to a high standard.

Perfect CL
Greetham Retreat CL
From the initial contact on the phone to leaving everything was very professional.
Booked in with a deposit and paid beforehand then received detailed information for arrival and what to expect. We like the board with our pitch number on so that we can sort ourselves out.
Warm welcome with lots of information provided also an information room with lots of useful leaflets..
Great site for dogs all nicely kept and easy to do little strolls with nice views and little picnic tables if you want to use them. Good walking paths nearby, well signposted and kept well.
We did cycling-phew those hills!!!
Blue Bell at Belchford is great, highly recommend the sea bass and dog friendly. Also George and Dragon at Hagworthingham is great too, good food, great service and dog friendly too.
Horncastle and Woodall Spa are worth visiting too.
Gem of a site
Greetham Retreat CL
Thank you for a very pleasant stay at your cl. You have thought of everything to make our stay perfect.
Hard standing/ grass pitches, shower/toilet spotlessly clean, even allowed to use the laundry room for a small price to cover washing detergent and costs of running the machines.
Very peaceful and tranquil. The site is of the highest standard that you could wish for.
Owner was very helpful providing us with information before we arrived.
Certainly would recommend

They've thought of everything!
Greetham Retreat CL
Fantastic little site that you have to remind yourself, isn't a fully fledged club site. Well spaced, slightly terraced pitches with lovely views (despite Lincolnshire's reputation for being flat) and very quiet and peaceful. The owner was friendly without being intrusive and took the time to welcome us and explain everything we needed to know about the site and surrounding area. There's plenty of opportunities to walk dogs around the woodland and pond area on site and footpaths from the site that enable an off-road walk to a pub (approx 6 mile round trip). The water, waste and recycling facilities are of a club site standard and the WC and shower facility is excellent and kept immaculately clean (I particularly like the red light visible from all pitches indicating if the facilities are occupied or available to use). The owners really have tried to think of everything and have invested heavily to provide a top class CL. The site is located equidistant between Lincoln and Skegness (approx 20 miles to each) and just outside Horncastle which is great for local farm shops. All in all, a lovely little site.
