Top reasons to choose Lakeside Park as your next holiday destination

We live on an island that is rich with rolling hills, beautiful coastlines and incredible countryside. This wealth of choice could make picking the right destination for your next holiday a bit of a challenge. Devon and Cornwall, Norfolk and the Lake District often enjoy the spotlight, but North Lincolnshire’s Lakeside Park has quietly carved out a name for itself as one of the UK’s genuine hidden treasures. Nestled in the county’s tranquil surroundings and offering a unique feel, Lakeside Park blends nature, warmth, and exciting modern facilities in all the right ways. It’s independently owned and rooted in the local community, so is quite different from large chain parks. This edition of our blog explains more… 

A lakeside setting a world away from domestic life

Unless particularly affected by the film JAWS, every human being knows there’s something instantly calming about being around water! From the moment you arrive at Lakeside Park, our lake becomes a focal point – glinting beautifully in the morning light and gently rippling under summer skies. It provides the kind of tranquil moments most of us crave escape to from the rush and hassles of daily life. Our lake, however, isn’t just a pretty view – it’s the heart of a carefully preserved natural environment, where couples and families can reconnect over a simple walk by the water’s edge. 

According to VisitBritain, 38% of domestic travellers now prioritise holidays that allow them to enjoy the outdoors, a statistic which reflects a continuing shift towards open-air travel experiences following the Covid pandemic of the early 2020s. Lakeside Park is right at the centre of that trend, offering not just lovely views, but a truly immersive, nature-rich atmosphere. Lakeside Park has been designed to harmonise with the environment, and the setting encourages guests to engage with nature without needing to ‘rough it’ or get too rural. 

Modern comforts to complement the setting

One of the main things to make Lakeside Park special is how it combines the rustic charm of the countryside with accommodation and facilities you’d be inclined to expect from a high-end resort. In other words, Lakeside is not just ‘camping in disguise’. Lodges are thoughtfully furnished, including full kitchens, en-suite bathrooms and heating for cooler months, and, in some cases, private decking areas overlook the water. 

For those preferring static caravans, the same attention to detail applies. Interiors are clean, stylish and well-maintained – and regardless of your budget, all of them are equipped so that your stay feels effortless, convenient and comfortable.  

On-site amenities include a small but well-stocked shop offering essentials, laundry facilities for those staying longer, and pet-friendly options available across several units. 

Incredible facilities to enjoy in a great place

You can up the ante on Lakeside’s peaceful pace of life if you want to, by talking advantage of the incredible sports and recreational facilities on offer. 

Tennis lovers can make use of our well-maintained court, and the recently installed padel tennis court provides the chance to play one of the world’s fastest-growing sports. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round on our executive nine-hole course, and the all-weather multi-use games area and football pitch provide a great setting for family-friendly fun and team sports. For indoor fitness and relaxation, Arabella’s Fitness Suite and our welcoming indoor pool are available year-round.  

At the heart of Lakeside’s entertainment offerings is The Waterfront Club which includes Oscar’s Cabaret Room, a flagship venue buzzing with energy and variety – live music, comedy and magic! The Sportsman’s Bar provides a relaxed setting tailored for over-18s, with entertaining quiz nights. Monty’s restaurant is a great place for all the family to dine in style. 

Exploring North Lincolnshire and beyond

Lakeside Park itself offers more than enough to enjoy on site throughout a holiday, but its location also opens up a potential world of day trips and local gems if you are also keen to explore the wider area. There are plenty of unmissable Lincolnshire locations to fall in love with! 

A mere 25 minutes, Cleethorpes is a great spot for a traditional British seaside experience – with sandy beaches, fish and chip shops, ice creams and arcades all presenting the kind of nostalgic charm many of us grew up with.  

To the south, the Lincolnshire Wolds offer designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with stunning hills and countryside, scenic drives and quaint village pubs that feel unspoiled by time. History lovers could venture further, to Lincoln itself. This impressive city is home to one of the UK’s finest cathedrals, a well-preserved medieval castle and a thriving independent shopping quarter. 

Market towns such as Brigg and Louth provide slightly quieter pleasures, with farmers’ markets, antique stalls and cosy cafes, ideal for gentle days out. Active travellers are also well served, with cycling and walking routes well-mapped. The staff at Lakeside will provide helpful advice to get you started. 

An ideal day might start with coffee on your lodge’s deck, followed by a countryside ramble through the Wolds, lunch in a village pub, and a return to the park in time for a sunset over the lake. If you prefer to take it slower, you won’t find anyone rushing you here. It’s the perfect place to relax and take life at the pace of your choosing. 

A favourite for returning guests

Lakeside Park is not just growing in popularity – it’s building a community. With a Trip Advisor score of 5.0 and glowing Google reviews, it’s clear that guests at Lakeside are more than satisfied with their experience. Many families return every year, booking their next visit before they’ve even packed the car. In 2024, many bookings came from returning guests and word-of-mouth referrals, which is a powerful indicator of guest satisfaction in an industry where repeat business is hard-earned. 

Recognition has also come from further afield. The magazine Practical Caravan listed Lakeside Park among its Top 100 UK Holiday Parks for three years running, citing its exceptional cleanliness, customer care and overall guest experience. 

Flexible options without a high price tag

Affordability doesn’t mean compromise at Lakeside Park. The park caters to a wide range of guests and varying budgets, from couples seeking a cosy two-night retreat to large families looking for a week-long summer escape.  

There are options ranging from luxury lodges with lakeside views to comfortable, practical static caravans ideal for families or groups, with pet-friendly units are available for those bringing along their four-legged friend (or friends!). It’s always worth checking the website or signing up to the newsletter to stay informed about upcoming availability and pricing updates. 

Lakeside’s personal touch

Perhaps what truly sets Lakeside Park apart is not just the facilities but the atmosphere. It benefits from a sense of pride that much larger, chain-operated parks often lack. Every decision here, from landscaping to customer service, is considered and personal – and this curated feel shows. 

If you’ve already explored Devon, ticked off Cornwall, done Norfolk and journeyed around the Lakes but found them all just that little too busy for your liking, it’s time to head somewhere new: Lakeside Park. 

 You’ll find the space to breathe, plenty of beauty to enjoy and the kind of warm welcome that lingers long after you’ve returned home.  Book your next getaway today and discover why so many guests return year after year.
