  • Scenic park on the river Witham, 10 minutes' drive from Tattershall
  • A 35-minute drive from Lincoln and 15 from Tattershall Farm Park
  • Playground, river fishing, waterside walks and pub-restaurant on site
What a lovely Lincolnshire location this is – dog-friendly Riverview Caravan Park’s location on the banks of the Witham river is a mighty scenic place to spend a bit of time… You’re on holiday, so you’d be quite justified in deciding to settle down right there by the river for lengthy periods in the company of a book and/or picnic. Keep that view in sight by heading out for a waterside walk or launching your own paddleboard or kayak from the boat jetty too. Keen to go fishing? The site has one mile of fishing along the river Witham, all set just 20 metres from the pitches. The on-site fishing is known for tench, carp and big bream weighing up to seven kilograms, as well as its fortnightly competitions. A modern gym is on-hand for those times when you feel like fitting in a good workout. For families, there’s a playground as well as an indoor pool (open during high season only) where they can play about whatever the weather. If they (or you) are plane fans, they may like to know that RAF Conningsby is a short distance away with a World War II museum. Fighter jets and the occasional Lancaster fly overhead, so it can get a bit noisy (especially during the week) but settle down for your own personal air show and enjoy the sights. When it comes to food, the on-site pub and restaurant is likely to be your go-to. Serving up homecooked food, it has a beer garden overlooking the river along with local entertainment such as singers, bingo and karaoke. On Saturdays and Sundays, it serves a full English breakfast, and on Sundays, there is a Sunday roast up for grabs. It also has a kids' menu. For out-and-about times, local town Tattershall is less than 10 minutes away by car and Lincoln city centre around 35 minutes.

Gemma R.

Camping pod

Liked Beautiful and peaceful site.

Pods are spacious and well equipped with comfortable beds. The team is friendly and welcoming and it is clear the owner and his team are striving to constantly improve the site.

We were greeted upon arrival and shown, rather than directed, to our pod. Our request to be near the facilities was happily obliged and everything was checked to be working in the pod before the gentleman left us to enjoy it.

We were told that they were having issues with the hot water but were working hard to resolve it and the owner came and personally apologised. Fantastic customer service.

As seasoned campers we brought our own toilet roll, just in case, but never needed it as the facilities were always clean and well stocked.

This site is perfect for a relaxing break although you will need a car to get out and about but its a perfect base camp.

Loved the decking area, would have benefitted from a little table for my evening glass of wine 😉 but when we come again I will just pop a camping one in the car.

We bought a little fan and I am glad we did as the pods are excellent at retaining heat! In fact the duvet went back in the car.

Wasps were in full force so we made a wasp trap that worked perfectly and meant we weren't overly bothered about them.

Loved meeting Boscoe and having a fuss and its clear the owner is hands on with the site.

Well done to the team!

Disliked Nothing! Noticed some reviews have little niggles but most of them could be solved by the people staying with a little forethought and common sense!

Camping pod

Liked The staff are friendly and they are really helpful. The site is nice and clean just nice for a couple of days get away. We go to woodhall for the swimming and the lovely kinema. Your 3rd time now we will go again.

Disliked There wasn’t any cups in our pod but it’s not a problem we had brought our own.

Linda a.

Camping pod

Liked Only stayed the 1 night as we were off to an airshow.
The pods are clean, with plenty of room, the bed was comfortable and we both slept well.
The toilet/ shower block are near by.
Would be nice to have an extra surface to prepare food.
There are options to get food and drink on the site as well.

Disliked * Would have liked a site map, to locate the water points or signs, to say where they are.
* one of the female shower cubicle were hanging off.
* Not enough toilet paper.
* When the cleaner arrived in the morning she was horrified with state of one of the cubicles, as it was unusable, due to a person leaving it in dirty state.

Camping pod

Liked Love this site, Phil and the gang work hard to please everyone
I've just had a hip replacement and they couldn't do enough for me.
We also got to see the air show from the local RAF site whilst we were there.
We will be returning once a month hopefully!

Disliked Got stuck in the disabled loo but mentioned it to the staff and they fixed it immediately.
Toilets are a bit cobwebby especially the disabled, just a bit of attention to detail would sort this out.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Not a lot unfortunately. The description seems to say it was everything we wanted but turned out there was little to celebrate. So much so we left 3 days early!
One plus point was the air display from local airfield, that didn’t disappoint.

Disliked It wasn’t a busy site although it was summer holidays. Only been there 1 day and found a child stuck in the toilets with no toilet paper. Searched all toilets male and female and none to be found. Looked for members of staff and none to be found. Showers, only 2 available and only 1 functional in the ladies until our 3rd day when both showers and toilets broke down completely. Advertised as having a shop, which wasn’t open and when we looked through the window everything was displayed on the floor! Access to river was by walking past other people’s pitches which made you feel uncomfortable & only one walk on site.

From the manager: Hello thank you so much for your review

Around us there many amazing walks with so much to do

Bronya Meadley. I see you booked the holiday left the review

I personally had some great charts with your mum and looked after her and Oscar made some good friends kicking a ball around

Toilet paper has and shall always be problematic that week end we put out 70 rolls a paper soon gone

Camping pod

Liked We had a lovely time here. Had visited before but with motor home years ago, had a camping pod this time and it was lovely. We brought the dog with us too which was lovely with the decking area, we just put a stair gate up for him. Pods were good size and the fridge and electric was lovely. We have already booked to come again after just getting home. Staff are so friendly. Great place for seeing all the planes

Sara C.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Friendly, welcoming, inviting people both staff and long term guests and dogs; they made our stay. Some also have roles at the club and they help each other out so the whole place had a sense of community.
For a small site it had a lot of facilities.
Prices in the bar area were low with lots of choice.
The food served was lovely and great value at about £10 for a full plate.
Swimming pool at a site this small if fabulous.
Pitches were flat and well cared for.
Roads had been recently done.
The huts looked great and good value for money.
Wifi in the bar areas.
Woodall Spa and Tattershall Castle nearby; you need a car for this area.

Disliked Not really dislikes but worth mentioning for others.
The swimming pool is NOT heated
Children were unsupervised in the pool.
WiFi was not consistent in the club area.
Not an issue for us but phone signal was limited, I’m glad we didn’t bring our teen.
Some tidying up required near the showers.
We would have liked to be able to control the temperature of the showers.
If we were staying longer a laundry area would be good.
People stole the toilet roll, take your own if you’re touring or in the huts.
Shop never seemed to open and there was no laundry area.

From the manager: Hi guys thank you for your great review and some helpful feed back

I glad you talk about the toilet paper issue

70 rolls were out out that week end

The shop is getting ready for this week end as it has new owners

Thank you for letting me know about the tiding up around the shower block Bern sorted

The pool we a small site and the cost of heating the pool is so high
And we like to keep the pitch and pods prices of £30 per night all year round
It's difecult

We dint advertise as a heated pool it is indoors and the Kidd's seam to love it

We do not need a life guard as we very small and anybody under the age of 16 must be a with an adult

Thank you so much for your lover review
Hope to see you again very soon

Btw the heating of the pool is on the list

Camping pod

Liked Good sized pods. Included a fridge which was a bonus. All facilities were clean. Direct access to river walk.

Disliked Pods are too close together for my liking.
We stayed in July and the river wasn't a pretty sight. It was green as far as the eye could see. No movement. Looked pretty grim.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Good morning thank you for your review we the riverview team take our reviews very seriously and ack were we can

But I very sorry for the weed on the river and beleave me if I could change this I would
We been told by the river board it's due to the lack of rain

But my godly powers don't go that far

The river is controlled be the sluise gate at Boston

With the lack of water the gates have been closed for some time stopping the natual flow of the river

Your comments saying the pods are to close together is absolutely rediculas



Out 300 previous reviews never been mentioned before

Hence we standing 2nd place out of 360 other touring and carivan parks in Lincolnshire

I understand if we have done something wrong

On you individual scoring you makes us
7 to 9 points so why have you given us 6 points

The river ???

As we said before if I could change the river

I would

Thank you

Local attractions

Having viewed your own bit of the river, it’s likely that you’ll be enticed into getting out for a walk – especially when you learn that there are a couple of riverside pubs nearby. There’s more strolling to be done in Tattershall Lakes Country Park (five minutes’ drive), plus the chance to get a bit of watery activity at Just Wake wakeboarding centre. Take off to Tattershall (around 10 minutes’ drive) for a wander around Tattershall Castle – a proper textbook castle with a moat and 15th-century tower to potter around. Just outside town is Tattershall Farm Park (15 minutes), where egg collecting, sheep shearing and hanging out with hairy Highland cows are likely to meet with approval from tiddlers (and quite probably their elders too…). A day out in Lincoln (35 minutes) must surely be on the list – it’s got a real slice of history, being home to one of the four original copies of the Magna Carta. You’ll likely feel like you’ve stepped back in time if you catch a film at Kinema in the Woods (15 minutes) too: the flicks have been running since 1922 here, and there’s still a resident organist to provide the tunes.
