The Big Sky Hideaway

‘Say yes more!’ is the motto of the folk that run The Big Sky Hideaway, in the Lincolnshire countryside 10 minutes’ drive from Boston.

There are options to stay in a converted American school bus or London decker, a Landpod or even your own tent in the spacious camping meadow. And that's if you don't want to try a night in a hammock or sky tent!

There are alpacas to meet and firepits for evenings out in the open admiring the big starry skies. All of this is part of a family farm owned and run by Em and Dave, who’ve set their site up to be a place where you can escape everyday stresses.

The practicalities of this feelgood site have been well thought out too: pitches have been mown into the long grass in the vehicle-free camping meadow, and each one has been provided with a firebowl. The whole site is powered by renewable energy and kept eco-friendly with compost toilets and a special shower system. Once you’ve settled in at your pitch, take a stroll around the woodland to find one of those hammocks to hang out in, sign up for an alpaca experience or ask for a tour around the newly planted orchard, garden and tiny forest. Or of course you could leave the site – perhaps for a ride on nearby National Cycle Route 1 (which passes about 100-metres away).

Lincolnshire's beaches aren't a long drive away either. If this isn't enough of a sell, you could find out all about Dave and Em's journey to set up the Big Sky Hideaway on Channel 5 Catch-Up. Look for Season 2, Episode 2 of Ben Fogle's Make a New Life in the Country! The Big Sky Hideaway is open to visitors from mid-March through to mid-October and also offers exclusive site hire for large-scale events, weddings, small festivals and much more, included in this hire is a selection of glamping accommodation or day-time hire.
