What customers say
This small, adult-only site is praised for its peaceful atmosphere, cleanliness, and friendly, helpful owners. Guests enjoyed the well-maintained pitches, spotless facilities, and the convenience of a good pub next door. Some noted minor issues with shower locks and occasional smell from the septic tank for specific pitches.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Fantastic little spot, with clean toilets and showers. The hosts are very welcoming and always around for a chat. The lake is very well stocked as well. We will come back as it is such a lovely quaint little campsite. About a 5 min drive to Woodall spa an hours walk.
Saw lots of wildlife whilst there including a heron and a fawn.
My partner says fish on bread.
Disliked Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks so much for the kind words.
We're glad that you enjoyed the spot, it's always a bonus when the local wildlife shows up too.
Great to hear that you felt welcomed and we hope to see you again soon.

Liked Well looked after , with great pitches and plenty of water points
Disliked Only improvement would recommend is an upgraded Elsa’s facility.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely review, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us.
We appreciate your feedback on the Elsan point, it's regularly cleaned and maintained and while it may not be fancy it does the job reliably.
Hope to see you again soon.

Great site lovely, clean and peaceful.
Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely, quiet small site. Warm welcome from Paul and Fiona especially as we had a minor bump right outside the entrance which shook is up a bit. Lovely clean showers and toilets too. Well maintained and peaceful. Other reviews mentioned chickens being loose but we didn't see any. Lovely pub next door too. Would definitely come again, highly recommend.
Disliked Be nice if the pub would switch off it's floodlights at night so it's easier to see the stars but that's not Paul and Fiona fault 😆
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your thoughtful review.
We are pleased to hear that you found the site peaceful and well maintained.
So glad the minor incident didn't impact your overall experience too much.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the floodlights from the nearby pub. Stargazing is is one of the joys of being in the countryside, and we understand how lighting can impact that experience. The main field has no lighting at night and is superb for night skies.
We'll be sure to pass along your comments to the pub as a helpful suggestion.
We look forward to welcoming you both back.

Liked Nice, peaceful, very well kept campsite. Nice place to explore the Lincolnshire wolds / fens. Definitely coming again. I didn't try the wi-fi so can't comment on that.

From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely review Richard.
We are really glad that you enjoyed your stay and had chance to explore the Lincolnshire Wolds, it's a beautiful area with so much to offer.
Hope to welcome you back again soon.

Lovely little site we would be happy to revisit.
Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked Great location and wonderfully quiet. Dog walks from site and pub next door. Owners very friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers very clean.
Disliked Not a dislike as such, but the shower rooms were difficult/impossible to lock
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feed back and glad you enjoyed your stay.
We are sorry you experienced an issue with the shower room door. Due to the recent heat the door had shrunk slightly which caused some difficulty. Another guest made us aware and we were able to fix this immediately.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
Take care

Lovely little site. Take ear plugs just in case.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Small, flat and well maintained site. Only 3 toilets but wasn't a problem as most people in caravans. Lovely village location with pub right next door. Wooden hut selling basic provisions.
Disliked The site specifies no stag, hen or large single sex groups - presumably to prevent late night noise and party groups. However we were kept awake until gone midnight listening to two drunk women singing and a man with a loud distinct voice. There are no signs asking for quiet after a certain time.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for your review.
We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay.
However, Denise, when you both arrived (early) on you motorbikes you were rude clearly unhappy from the start, we bent over backwards and didn't receive a smile!
We had a full site this weekend and not one complaint received from any other guests, at no point during your one night stay did you raise any concerns about noise or ask us to resolve it.
We take all feedback seriously but it's hard to improve or assist when nothing is mentioned at the time, we are always here to help, all we ask is a bit of respect and honesty.
We did however have a guest mention the noise of your motorbikes leaving in the morning disturbing them from their sleep.
We apologise if you were disturbed in the evening, we suggest for your future travels you wheel your motorbikes out early morning considering other guests.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Well manicured and quiet site, in the lovely Lincolnshire Wolds. Good relaxed fishing in the private lake. Good, spotless, well maintained facilities. The owners obviously take pride in all they do. Pub literally 2 mins. Horncastle 5 min drive.
Will be back later in the year.
