What customers say
This is a very well-maintained, quiet, adult-only campsite with spacious, level pitches. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful owners, clean facilities, and picturesque fishing lake. Its location next to a pub and close to Woodhall Spa is a significant bonus. Minor points mentioned include occasional shower lock issues and a desire for more toilet facilities, with plans for upgrades in progress.

THE BEST OF THE REST
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Everything. Greeted on arrival, shown to my pitch, all facilities pointed out and explained. Toilets and showers best I have encountered in all my travels, super modern and clean. The whole site gives a well maintained, peaceful and friendly vibe. Lovely walks around the fishing pond in the evening and easy access to the riverbank. Fiona and Paul must be congratulated for making the whole experience so satisfying.
Disliked The ony problem was having to leave.

Beautiful site
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked This site is lovely. All pitches are spacious .
We had room for our motorhome and a car.
Electricity and water were on the pitch.
The showers were one of the best, temperature could be adjusted and they weren't push buttons. The shower rooms were always clean.
Only had to wait once for a few mins over a 4 night stay for a shower.
The site is well maintained but also feels like you're in the middle of nature. I enjoyed wanders around the lake onsite.
The owners are friendly and helpful.
WiFi on site was good for general browsing, social media and messaging.
The little honesty shop was useful and decent value for the ease of it being onsite.
Woodhall Spa, only 10-15 min drive away was lovely to wander around . We also nipped to Coningsby early evening (again 10-15 min drive away) and managed to see 3 of the euro fighters come in to land.
Huttoft Beach was around 40 minutes drive away. This was a lovely sandy beach with easy access into the sea.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Great site with plenty of space for the caravan car and awning. Really clean showers and toilets, nice little honesty shop for anything you need. Very friendly owners who make you feel very welcome. The fishing is really good plus your next door to a pub, with Woodhall Spa and Horncastle right on your doorstep!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely site. Gorgeous walks from the site and on the site with the lakes. Pub next door is an extra added bonus. Shower nice and hot and powerful which if want you want. Would definitely visit again.
Disliked Didn’t know there was WiFi as we wasn’t told which would have been useful. Think an earlier check in would be good so you at least get 24 hours.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the site, the walks, the lake, the hot showers, and the pub next door.
Just to clarify we do not advertise WiFi as a campsite facility, so it is not included in our guest information however it is on show in the reception.
Regarding your comment about check-in times, our check in is from 1:00pm and check out is by 11:00am. These times are clearly stated at the time of booking and allow us the necessary time to clean and maintain the campsite for all guests. Bearing in mind your booking was for one overnight stay, we feel this provided ample time to enjoy the site.
We would also point out that following your request to stay on site after the check out time we were happy for you to leave your van on your pitch after the 11:00am check out time so that you could enjoy a walk around the lake before departing, and this was accommodated without issue.
We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay overall.
