Liked: As a young family with a young daughter, we really enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and relaxing as well as having a little park for her to play in.
Disliked: The families were wet and muddy and quite slippery.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi we are sorry you found the facilities wet and muddy and slippery we had been monitoring this and put wet floor signs up at the entrance, with the amount of rain that fell on Sunday this was alittle out of our control we cleaned these facilities as much as possible to mitigate this thanks

Unpowered grass and earth site
Liked: We stayed in one of the grass pitches at the end of the field, which has a convenient path through to the Lincs Aviation Centre. Pitches are level and even in the heavy rain the ground stayed solid. Very reasonably priced at £16 but would recommend the electric pitches closer to fresh water and Elsan point.
Disliked: Food at the Red Lion: If you're after big portions and don't mind to wait 2 hours for a Takeaway, you're ok. We prefer quality over quantity and don't mind an hours wait. We didn't complain as we did appreciate that it was busy, so we had a few pints and crisps in the garden to tide us over. After nearly 2 hours we did ask at the bar and were told there was a system error. Another 20 minutes later we had our takeaway delivered 🙄
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi, we did apologies for the system error and have been in contact with our system provider who are looking in to this and will correct the error in question, we did warn repeatedly that anyone that had not booked there would be a significant weight due to being extremely busy and all tables being booked out, we had absolutely amazing feed back all weekend regarding our food but I’m afraid due to a system error at missed 2 takeaway meals we have been felt this review and I’m afraid this is out of our control. I would again recommend if you would like to dine with us to prebook as far in advance as you can as we don’t like turn people away but we can only seat what we can. Again we appologies for the system error and i myself dealt with this and prepaired your meals as soon as it was ready many thanks

Liked: This was my first stay at this campsite only for 2 nights so have limited to report. What I can say is the site was very well laid out with loads of room on my pitch. The facilities were good. I can highly recommend the chicken tikka sandwiches sold at the shop over he road. Will definately be returning. Thanks.
