(NG32 2LS) Grantham - Five gates Lane

Great little spot but arrive late & leave early when no-one else is using it if you have a large vehicle.

Quiet Friday night. Steepish walk to the tower, then plenty of easy trails throughout the forest. Great views acoss the valley to Belton House/ Estate. Popular with dog walkers.

We turned up at about 11am and there was 1 motorhome and 1 young person in their car. The car left 10 minutes later and we enjoyed a lovely quiet sleep. Locals started to turn up from about 7.30am onwards. Fantastic for dog walking. There's a tight car park, if there's a few campers, and if locals can't park in the morning it could cause a problem.

Schöner Platz aber leider war auch Dienstags Jugendtreff. Bin weitergefahren zum schönen Waldparkplatz etwas nördlich

magnifique endroit au milieu des champs mais nous avons préféré le quitter vers 23h car c'était un lieu de rassemblement des jeunes du coin. je précise que c'était un samedi. C'est peut-être plus calme en semaine. nous avons continué notre chemin.

Peaceful night. A muddy walk to Bellmount tower, deer in the field opposite. Small carpark lots of dog walkers. Uneven with lots of puddles

Surrounded by nature. Reasonably quiet although dog walkers coming and going until quite late. Bellmount Tower just on the hill nearby. Lots of lovely walks nearby.

Lovely spot. Them seem to have closed have blocked off half the car park but here with my sprinter and 5 car dog walkers doesn’t feel too selfish & still half empty. 5G 3 bar good signal on 3. Dog waste bin. Nice smooth road up to parking but pot holed entrance. Very level and quiet evening. Wonderful walks surrounding. Will definitely return. Keep it nice for everyone take your rubbish with you.

On s'est juste arrêté pour une pause repas en sortant de la voie rapide. C'est charmant, avec une belle balade jusqu'à la tour. Pas d'interdiction en vue si non pour la nuit. Pas trop de passage sur la route et en se mettant au fond du parking, ça va.

un emplacement relativement plat avec une promenade agréable. par contre route très passante et le parking est un lieu de passage intense de jeunes venus faire la fête, avec musique très forte jusqu'à plus de 4heures du matin. et promeneurs avec chiens dès 7heures. quel dommage!

Nice and peaceful, no kids, no trouble mid week. Only a small car park and majority of spaces aren't very long - I got lucky to find one without the fence at the back, and was fine with 6m vehicle but in other spots I would have stuck out further than I'd like. Nearby area is very nice, great for a picnic by the tower. Recommend arriving late when it's quieter.

Car park now reduced in size to protect the trees. we parked sideways as there was no one else there. 7m might struggle on a busy day especially getting in and out of spaces. very peaceful and quiet night for us.

Quiet country setting. Nice walks from car park. Very muddy when wet. Okay for 6m van.

Stayed last night as was playing golf early at the local course. Arrived at 2130hrs and heard just a handful of cars pass by throughout the night. Awoke to just the one early dog walker but they had an elec car so I never heard them arrive. Yes it’s a bit bumpy and uneven but it’s a pleasant enough spot.

12/03/22 arrived around 19:00 only 1 car in the car park. A few other cars came and went until around 22:00 all very quiet. Very peaceful night. Does get busy from around 07:00 with dog walkers, but they just get on with walking the dogs. Some good walks from the car park, made the most of them as I didn’t leave until midday the following day.

... like the former comment from 15th august, too many dog walkers and teenie couples we just went on. So for day parking may be ok. But evening too busy. Perhaps in winter time better...

Cannot recommend, unfortunately. Somebody put firecrackers at the fence that went up every 20 minutes from 12 pm. Obviously didn’t want people staying there… Had to move in the middle of the night. Otherwise a really lovely spot.

parked up for a night was lovely to wake up next to the cows and sheep. People were walking dogs until 9ish and then cars starting coming about 6:30, but lovely and quiet really. Felt safe as a solo traveller.

Lovely surroundings, a good walk from the car park. It is busy though and I was woken by kids arriving in the night blaring music and running around on the hill shouting. Not very relaxing at all.

Fine place, relatively quiet. By times lots of (friendly) dog walkers. Beautiful surroundings.

Nice and quiet, trees are a bit of a nuisance if you’re in a motorhome, but very pleasant place to spend the night nonetheless. Dog walkers etc in the AM

Great spot for the night. Nice walks straight from the car park. Quiet. Comings and going is from 7 am with the local dog walkers.

Was a decent little spot. Trees are an absolute nightmare. Be much better suited to a smaller camper. Arrived about 10pm - empty. Woke up about 7am - about 6 or 7 cars on there, dog walkers/runners etc. all doing their own thing.

Nice spot. Dog walkers started promptly from 7am but didn’t seem to mind us being there

Had the night here. Only one other camper there and had a good night. Could here a stag barking close by. Nice little park up

Great spot, rural, peaceful, stayed one night and nice dog walk in morning before carrying on with journey.

Large carpark with plenty of spaces. Busy with walkers, lots of pot holes so be careful. Managed to get flat, surrounded by fields. Lovely location. Stayed the night before visiting Belton Hall the next day

Free. No facilities, no height restriction, no time restrictions. National Trust (conservation charity) carpark for Bellmount Tower. Busy during the day with locals taking the pleasant walk to the woods up the the hill. Sometimes youths gather in the evening to show off their car stereos.

Parking juste pour une pause de midi. Pas plat et terrain accidenté. Pas facile avec un camping car de 7m.

Nice large car park with no restrictions. We stopped here the night before visiting Belton House, just a couple of minutes away. Very popular with dog walkers evenings and mornings so a lot of cars coming and going. A few kids coming and going after dark but not a problem for us, it’s a large car park.
