Campsites near Stamford

On the hunt for a campsite near Stamford in Lincolnshire? The pretty market town, sloped on the banks of the River Welland, is often mistaken for belonging to the county of Rutland (and, indeed, magnificent Rutland Water is a mere five miles away) but it offers the best of both counties rolled in to one beautiful, chocolate-box area.

Peaceful, off-grid vibes and walks along the Trent Valley Way, yes please… Millview Camping is a completely off-grid site just 20 minutes’ drive from Nottingham city centre and 15 minutes’ walk from the 116-mile Trent Valley Way. With westerly views over the Trent Valley and in the shadows of a ruined 18th-century windmill, this is a peaceful and scenic place to take a break indeed… Well-positioned too, with a generous handful of pubs, restaurants and cafés a scenic 35 minutes’ walk away in Gunthorpe alongside the river Trent. Radcliffe on Trent and Bingham are five minutes’ drive away for any other amenities you might (supermarkets, shops, restaurants, pubs and the likes). And if you’re after even more of a buzz, Nottingham city centre is 25 minutes’ drive away. Even with such good access to so many towns and the big city, the site itself is remote. It has 10 acres of hay meadows and woodlands for guests to explore and, of course, sublime sunsets over the valley. If you prefer to keep your whole stay pretty rural, the Vale of Belvoir and the historic Belvoir Castle are 20 minutes’ drive away from the site. It’s no frills here. The grass and woodland pitches have facilities including water and portaloo access. Dogs are also permitted, as are barbecues.

Rosehip Wood Campsite is a nature rich, off-grid wild campsite set in a peaceful woodland. Camp in secluded clearings surrounded by trees and bushes and be sheltered from the wind or hot sun when necessary. You can spend your evenings staring into a crackling campfire as fire pits are provided and firewood can be purchased on site. This site is completely enclosed by fences so kids can roam free-range-style, make dens using branches and explore the 'secret cedar hideaway'. There is a field with a football goal for recreational activities and adjoining footpaths for road free walks. It is tucked away on the outskirts of the pretty Norfolk village of West Dereham. This beautiful rewilding project offers the unspoilt simplicity and tranquillity of wild camping within the grassy clearings of a quiet mixed woodland and balanced with just enough facilities to make camping fun and comfortable including fresh water and compost toilets. All Rosehip Wood’s pitches are family friendly and allow BBQs and campfires. Your hosts invite you to wander along mown paths, through grassy clearings and wildflowers. The woodland has been planted with lots of nuts and fruits for both wildlife and humans to enjoy. As the sun sets, unwind, and enjoy starlit skies unspoilt by light pollution against the distant calls and barks of local wildlife. The site has no lighting so don’t forget your torch if you plan on an evening amble. Downham Market is around 4 ½ miles away offering supermarkets, a market, food and drink in the town’s historic pubs and a range of restaurants. It also has a train station from which your hosts will be happy to pick you up if you are coming camping without a car. If you need an extra tent this can be rented at an extra cost. Walkers and cyclists will find maps and information available on site pointing you in the direction of local routes over farmland, lanes, long

Lovely family friendly quiet site, well maintained. River at the bottom is great, we kayaked and paddle boarded, kids swam in the river too! Close to large supermarkets (5/7 min drive) and March town in a short drive or 35 walk along the river. Perfect for a few relaxing days away. Nice greeting at the toilets in the mornings from Jaffa the cat too 😊

The campsite is great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only slight issue is there are only 2 toilets and 2 showers, so you have to wait to use these when the site is full. However, having easy access to the river is a massive bonus, we were either on or in the river every day. Paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or fishing. Overall one of the best sites we have stayed at.

Great site, however only 2 toilets for the whole site means a bit of a wait when the site is busy. The staff were very frieand helpful and having the river so close meant extra activities. We were on or in the river every day.

5 nights at Four Winds Camping, Canoeing & SUP

Just returned from 5 wonderful nights at Four Winds Campsite, we were a family of 4 and went with two other families. We were lucky enough to have sunshine every day and made good use of the river. We had 5 children between us ranging from 10 - 15 years old. We hired kayak's and rowed to March, we stopped off at a park for a picnic recommended by Debs. We had an afternoon in Ely and had another recommendation to eat dinner in The Cutter Inn which was a really lovely meal. We hired paddle boards another day, the Dad's enjoyed some fishing and the campsite was big enough to play football or rounders with ample space. There was a basketball hoop, we took a slip and slide, badminton net, elastics, and light up frisbees. The pizza van on Friday night was great, particularly as there are no BBQ's allowed due to the hot weather. The small shop sells ice creams and cold drinks. The washing up area is undercover with Jaffa the cat hanging around. The only negative is there are only two toilets each with a basin, so there was sometimes a queue as its the only area to brush teeth, a couple more basins or a portacabin of extra toilets/sinks would make this campsite perfect. There are only two showers as well but they were always hot and clean. Debs was really friendly and helpful, we would recommend this site to anyone wanting a relaxing stay with watersports as an added bonus.

Weekend Trip to Cuckoo Farm Campsite

We went in our campervan last year and the camp had about 12 units. We’ve just returned from a few nights there over the weekend and was a little shocked at the sheer numbers on site. Manager said that they were expecting 120 to arrive on the Friday. Bearing in mind that no caravans are allowed, the majority were tents with a lot of children with no shower or toilets. 2 men’s toilets and 3 showers for that amount of people was clearly not enough and so queuing was a bit of an issue. We left on the Monday as did a lot of the units and it was therefore tranquil again. I would return but only midweek and out of school holidays.

Weekend Trip to Bridge Woods

Our second visit here and still as good as the first time. Bear and Silas are so welcoming and friendly, couldn’t be more accommodating, our boys (dogs) were spoiled with fresh goats milk and attempted to make friends with the chickens. Great dog walk from the site along the canal makes it even better. It has what you need, toilet under the stars and warm showers (although didn’t use them this time). If you want to escape, have a quiet night, and get back to nature this is the place!

4 nights at Bridge Woods

I had such a lovely stay here. It’s a quiet little campsite with plenty of space, making it perfect for switching off—or, in my case, a working holiday! The co-working space was excellent, with reliable internet and electricity, so working during the day was effortless. This isn’t just a dog-friendly campsite—it’s dog heaven. During the heatwave, the pond was perfect for keeping the dogs cool, and Silas and the family were so welcoming to both me and my dogs. I’ve genuinely never seen them have so much fun. The resident animals are an added bonus. Olive and Pip, the friendly goats, are absolutely delightful. Rodney the pony seemed a little shy at first, but we became friends and he’s incredibly sweet. Even the chickens provided entertainment, and the dogs loved pottering around watching them. All in all, this place is a hidden gem. I absolutely loved my stay and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Great place, was able to set up campervan and side tent in a lovely location, with sun set to the left, woodland behind and goats and pony in paddock in front of us. The whole site is a gated area so was great for our dog to run around freely, making friends with the chickens, goats and other dogs. Silas was a great host, very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommended for a stress free, chilled camping experience

Weekend Trip to Rosehip Woods Campsite

The location is very nice. Bit tight for manoeuvring the vehicle around, but once in place, really nice. Fire pit and ash pan available at each pitch which worked really well. Was a windy weekend but the pitches offer very good protection from the winds. Toilets looked fine and the little wash up sink is more than adequate. Owner turned up a couple of time to check that everyone was ok and if any wood was required, good attention to the campers.

This is our second visit and we had another great time! We arrived a little earlier than check-in but had a 4hr kayak session booked so headed off down river first. Once we had set up, Andy (the warden), was brilliant with my son who had no clue how to set up his fishing gear. Under Andy's guidance he caught his first fish! The facilities are lovely and clean and there is everything you'd need for a quick hit or longer stay. There's also a nice garden area to relax/eat in. This is now a firm favourite for our mini trips. I would highly recommend a visit!

Great campsite - great facilities and very clean. Each pitch is a good distance from each other so that you get decent privacy (with the wild flowers and grass between each adding even more to the privacy). You get phone signal here too! Very quiet area and lots of places to walk the dog with easy walking or driving distance.
