Sleep Quality
Laurel Park is a small caravan, camping and glamping site located on a quiet country lane in South-East Lincolnshire. We work hard to continuously improve the campsite whilst ensuring it remains a serene place to relax and unwind with nature and our many animals. Fully grassed and surrounded by a wall of trees, the site is secluded and sheltered from the elements, whilst being in the open countryside. It attracts plenty of wildlife including deer, owls, woodpeckers, sparrowhawks, wildfowl and a large variety of garden birds.​ Laurel Park is ideally located for exploring The Wash Coastal Nature Reserve, King’s Lynn, Spalding, Sandringham Palace and many surrounding attractions (Click here for more information). It is also on the National Cycle Network’s route 1 – a long distance cycle route connecting Dover and the Shetland Islands. Or you could simply spend time relaxing on the pretty 3 acre site and visit the quaint local town of Long Sutton. As well as couples, families and friends, we can also accommodate larger group bookings or site-exclusive events. Please contact us for more information, or to discuss all options. ​ We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of paradise. Andy and Emma ​

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a fantastic 3 nights at Laurel Park over the bank holiday weekend. The site is especially fantastic for small children (ours are 5 and 7), who loved engaging with the animals, making friends and enjoying the safe and secure location. The facilities (showers, toilets, utilities room, shop etc) are spotless, pitches generously sized and the site itself is very peaceful and just a short drive from local shops and pubs. Thanks to Emma, Andy and family for running a brilliant campsite. Already looking forwards to returning soon.

A family friendly campsite that incorporates a small animal sanctuary with chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, rabbits & not forgetting the 2 loony donkeys, and a Yoga retreat for those seeking inner peace.
The campsite is very well laid out and has 17 pitches all on level ground with trees & shrubbery all round for shelter. Each large ( 10m x 8m approx ) pitch has access to a very good hook-up for those needing electricity during their stay. Each pitch is well marked with posts in the hedgerow showing the positions suggested for your tent / unit and then there's room for your vehicle alongside. As we took a kitchen tent, we parked our car on the car park area.. absolutely fine.
Toilets & showers, ladies and gents of course and a unisex family sized shower room should you need it.. ideal for those with mobility issues too. Within the same block is the washup area, 2 basins with piping hot water, plus a coin op washing machine & tumble drier. All areas cleaned regularly.
There's a lounge area available, with cosy seating, a piano, pool table and some books and board games for campers to make use of.. plus an outdoor seating area in which to chill or to meet up away from the tents if you wished.
Andy & Emma are amazing hosts, Emma taking our granddaughter twice daily to tend to the animals, feeding and cleaning etc.. and Andy was almost always on hand tending the site, trimming foliage etc and both would pop by just to say 'Hi' and to check if everything was ok.
Laurel Park also has 2 safari type tents, very well appointed and 2 railway carriage units for those not wanting to pitch their own accommodation, with their own loo units and shelters.
Suffice to say... a great site, a hidden gem, and we had such a relaxing break... Thank You Andy & Emma.

Just came back from a 2 night stay. When I arrived I was welcomed by Andy to the site and advised where all the facilities were located.
I booked an electric pitch next to my friend and was advised I could park my car in another pitch as no one was there the same time which gave us loads of room.
My friend and I had our tents together with a gazebo in the middle, the pitches are a generous size and meant we had lots of space to enjoy. Emma and Andy offer a close up experience with their animals which the kids loved.
They have a lovely outdoor seating area which a night time looks stunning with beautiful lights.
The shower and toilet facilities were clean at all times.
They have a games room with a piano and pool table and other activities for the kids to enjoy.
A little shop onsite which provides anything you may have forgotten and also treats and ice creams for the kids.
The site is very clean and well maintained.
I will be recommending to others.

We stayed here as a family of 3, myself and two children aged 11 and 9 years. Both the owners Andy and Emma are friendly and extremely welcoming.
The location of the site is also great. We visited Hunstanton, about an hours drive and the next day we went to the aqua park at Tattershall.
The pitches are a great size and well laid out, you can easily get two cars between each pitch. We had an non electric hook up this time, which looked on to the donkeys. Usually I go for electric, but it was a great location I would ask for that pitch again.
On site there is a common room that had a fridge and freezer, which was great for keeping ice packs cold and a lovely touch that they were free to use (we've stayed at places before that charge 30p a block). Inside there are also games, books, a piano and pool table... a great way for children to make friends.
The range of animals are a great addition to the site. Both the owners go out of their way to include all the children on site with feeding time. They make it a fun, yet educational thing for each child and are so calm with them all.
Everywhere is really clean and has the owners personal touch when it comes to decor which makes it more homely.
The showers are superb with lots of hot water.
You can hire fire pits which are another special touch.
We will definitely be returning to the site on the future, but would love to see you team up with local suppliers for things like sausages etc. G.Shearer in Holbeach is lovely family butcher. I think it would really benefit the type of site run, instead of advertising larger chains like Tesco.

If there was one small thing I would change its maybe some hand dryers, to stop wet hands on the walls and doors and the addition of a couple toilets on there own. The family/group amenities are great, especially with covid, but in the mornings when you just need the toilet there can be a bit of a wait.

Our two young children 6 and 7 absolutely loved this campsite. Emma, Andy and their two children are extremely friendly, welcoming and dedicated to making everyone's stay enjoyable and relaxing.

All facilities are labelled, kept very clean, easy to use and access and bathroom facilities are kept to a very high standard with constant hot water.

The highlights for us were the animal feeding time, Emma has such a calm nature, she would sit with the children sharing her knowledge and allowing them to feed and pet the animals and the games room where we could play pool and piano.

I’ve just returned from a two night stay. I’d highly recommend this campsite. I stayed in a glamping tent which was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. My sister and her family stayed in the next glamping tent and the tables and gazebo between the tents was really useful. My parents stayed on a very very generously sized camping pitch situated near to us.
The highlight for all the children was the variety of animals. The owners have the patience of saints being followed by groups of children asking when feeding time is!! They are so engaging with everyone when it comes to the animals on site, and in general we’re approachable but not overbearing. We didn’t use the communal areas but they looked excellent. They yoga barn looks relaxing and my partner plans on returning to take part in some yoga when we stay again.
All in all we had a great time.

This wonderful campsite has hosted our friendship group gathering for several years now. It has a lovely safe feel being enclosed by huge fir trees, lots of lovely open green areas for the kids to run around in and the farm animals are an added bonus. The owners are incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming and have made our trips extra special with their cooking skills to cater for our group too. Very clean and with great glamping options too... Highly recommended x

Having waited so long for a holiday this year, we couldnt wait to get away as a family. Laurel Park did not disappoint.

Tent pitches were very large and very well spaced out, toilets and shower room immaculately clean and were cleaned on a regular basis every day.

We chose the site for my niece who is 9, because of the animals, donkeys, goats, rabbits and chickens, the chickens just wandered around the camp freely, my niece loved the experience, she also accompanied the owners on a walk with the donkeys, which she enjoyed immensely.

You can also hire fire pits and buy barbeques. We had a fire pit one coldish evening, making a very cosy camp.

I cant fault this site, we will be returning in the near future.😊

Booked as a group 2 ehu pitches and glamping tent. Contacted owners before booking who confirmed they had pitches together so we booked and received confirmation that we had pitches next to each other. On the day of arrival rechecked booking and one of the pitches had been moved into a different field. I contacted the owner to rectify the situation but he was not interested in fixing his error despite having email confirmation from him to confirm that he would ensure we would be together. Emma did attempt to provide us space to gather as a group. We would not have booked this site if we were not assured that our pitches would be together. Pitch we were allocated was used as a cut through for the rest of the site so woken early by others walking/talking close to the tent. Children enjoyed the animal activities, There is not enough toilet/shower/washing facilities and also not enough space to play sports. Very disappointing experience definitely won’t be returning.

We always endeavour to place our guests where they request to be and to keep groups together. 99% of the time this works perfectly, but very occasionally there are other factors that mean it is not possible to keep a preferred pitch, such as the physical restrictions/needs of other campers or the size of someone's accommodation - which is why we don't guarantee a pitch placement - I am certain I would have said this to you at the time. We are totally dedicated to always do the best for our guests, but when we are full (as was the case with your stay) there are restrictions as to what we can do to change the situation. We have a number of communal gathering areas, including the communal lounge, covered communal gazebo area, and a number of picnic benches around the site, which provide groups with various places to meet. In addition to this we arranged the moving of a number of cars to create a dedicated area for your group, in which we moved 2 picnic benches, to help address your group's needs. The pitch you were on was not a cut-through, it was merely near a grass pathway - nobody would have ever needed to use your pitch to cut through anywhere. All campsites have campers walking/moving past other campers' pitches, but we are sorry if this disturbed you. We do ask that quiet time is observed by all guests from 10:30pm to 7am to ensure the peace and serenity of the site is maintained. As for your comment regarding the toilets/shower/washing facilities:- we have a far higher ratio of facilities to pitches/guests than is required by our license and a far higher ratio than is offered by most other campsites of any size - even the larger ones. We do appreciate that there isn't a huge space for sports, instead we have concentrated on ensuring that all pitches have plenty of space between them (at least 6 metres), and have animals such as the miniature donkeys, providing alternative entertainment to a large open space. We are sorry our campsite wasn't right for you, but we do feel that no matter what we tried, there was simply no coming back from the fact that we had to move one of your pitches. It's a shame that it tainted your experience with us.

We’ve just returned from our first ever family camping trip. We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect campsite. The owners Emma & Andy are warm, friendly and approachable. They clearly work very hard to maintain such a clean, tidy and well-run park. Each evening they walk around the site with their dogs to check in on everyone and have a chat, which is a lovely touch.
Emma spent time with the children on site each morning, taking her time to introduce them to the many animals they have. Our children were able to feed and pet chickens and also baby guinea pigs. It is clear that the animals are extremely well cared for from listening to Emma speak about them.
Our pitch was overlooking the two extremely cute donkeys in the paddock. There were dens in the trees for our children to play safely in and they enjoyed scootering around the paddock.
The site felt very friendly and safe, with a lovely family atmosphere.
Facilities were clean and adequate for our needs. Even though the site appeared almost full, we didn’t have any issues with waiting long for the toilet.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and have already recommended the site to friends.
