We were recommend this site so thought we would give it a try, we arrived in July for 4 nights, were met by the owner who showed us a choice of pitches , showed us where the water and waste points, also where we could walk in his woods and other areas, nice walk into Woodhall Spa, we were not very lucky with the weather , but we loved the site & hope to return soon,
A very special place
We have just spent a couple of nights here. Lovely large open spaces, accompanied by some beautiful trees . We pitched up on a gravel area along side a nice lawned area ( perfect for us ) .There were grass pitches set in between shrubs and trees which had electric points and taps for water. A really clean and tidy bin / recycling area. You were also able to roam the woods and land onsite which we did .Communication with the owner was very helpful and he made us feel very welcome . Location wise offered plenty of opportunities , from forest walks (Nearby across the road ) going off in all directions .Plenty of local history and good local shops. We are returning soon .
One of the best
We have visited many CLs over past 18 months and this has got to be near the top of our list of favourite sites.
In beautiful grounds, close to Woodhall Spa.
Owner very helpful and relaxed about where we pitched.
Definitely return to this site

What a gem !
What a stunning place . Set in an arboretum with the most amazing rose bushes intertwining the trees. Some nice little private pitches with good shade from the trees if preferred. Perfect for dogs as surrounded by woodland that you can just step into from your van .
Piotr was very welcoming and helpful but at the same time left us be.
Very clean and tidy site , will definitely be returning
Lovely BUT
We thought this was our ideal cl. 17 acres of woodland, wild areas and a large level grass area for caravans but beware. There were TEN outfits on this site the weekend we were there. Disappointing.

One of a kind…
Hard not to repeat what others have already stated but this really is a bit of a one off. Truly beautiful and a tribute to Piotr and his wife who had the foresight to create a CL alongside their 17 acres of woodland and gardens. We loved it and will one day return. Woodhall Spa is also charming and a pleasant walk from the campsite. Oaklea simply makes caravanning an absolute pleasure. Tony & Sophie x
Never seen any other CL with fifty 5* reviews!
Not so much a CL, this is really a carefully-crafted Arboretum with integrated touring pitches. Read carefully the owners own story on their website, www.oaklea.co.uk for more info. We have made three future bookings and more will follow - peace, beauty and tranquillity within 45mins of home - what more could you ask for!
Thanks Piotr.
Peace & Serenity
I don’t normally leave reviews but think that Piotr, the owner of this fabulous CL certainly deserves one. From the moment I phoned to arrange the booking I knew he was going to be a complete gentleman. When we arrived he gave all the necessary information required without being ott. He is an extremely intelligent chap full of local knowledge but unobtrusive & leaves you to your own devices. The gardens are absolutely wonderful & he is constantly tending them but is not overly precious, letting you & your dog roam freely. A genuinely honest chap. We will certainly return. A place of peace & serenity.

A lovely quiet site
After a warm welcome, set up was straight forward. We spent 5 nights at this site before travelling north east across the Woods to another site to explore that area better, but if you don’t mind the extra half hour travelling you could easily visit the seaside and more places from this site.
It is worth noting that the grass area seems to run as a 5 pitch CL with undefined pitches. Each ‘pitch’ has the ability to connect to a choice of two electricity (3 sockets on each) and water bollards, so you cannot connect directly up to the water tap. Again worth noting is that a couple of the natural pitches require long electric cables or extensions to reach them. We believe the owner has a spare just in case.
As someone else has mentioned there are additional hard standing pitches nearer to the owners home and another small grass area next to the owners home was also being used as a pitch. So yes there are sometimes more than 5 pitches in use overall but the main grass area was quiet and only had 5 vans on while we were there. The car parking area is before the grass area ( which keeps it quiet as well as grassy) and between the hardstanding pitches. Grey waste is emptied under the trees and toilet waste is disposed of up near the house. Wasn’t an issue for us but it is a short walk, particularly from the far grass pitches. Overall the site was extremely quiet.
Woodhall Spa itself is a lovely town, the deli cakes are fantastic, but we drove in rather than attempting to walk the long lane down to the main road. Whilst in Lincolnshire we also visited Lincoln, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors Centre at RAF Coningsby, Tattershall Castle, Gunby Estate Hall and Gardens, the Walled Garden Baumber, Cadwell Park, Louth and the seaside at Sutton on Sea.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Just returned home from a weekend on this site. Arrived Friday teatime in the sunshine and chose 1 of the 5 large grass pitches and faced the lovely open grasslands. Relaxed with a beer in total silence, pitch black at night(except for the bollard lighting). Owner made us extremely welcome and pointed out the elsan point! It's a basic site for facilities and find a tree for the grey waste!! 😂
A 20 minute walk into wood all spa which is a lovely town, great pubs too.
So sad to leave the site and would return but it's an Adult only site and we generally go away with our 6 year old, so until granny and bompa have her again, Thank you for having us. You have a beautiful site.
