Líbí se Perfect campsite for plane spotting.
Loved our stay there, the site has everything we needed.

Líbí se We wanted to see some planes and boy did we see some, Typhoons in abundance plus the BBMF returning from Blackpool - Lancaster, Spitfires and Hurricane. In addition to that we had an aerial display from Swallows/Swifts nesting in the barn, patridges and hares running around in the next door fields.

We loved it, a reminder of how caravanning used to be, a toilet and wash basin with cold running water only, in an out building and a pitch in the open counrtyside fantastic! We will definitely visit again.

Nelíbí se No dislikes from

Líbí se Location is key! Amazing place if you’re into planes.

Nelíbí se The toilet really needs some money and time spent on it. No light, no room, no hot water.

Líbí se The position of the campsite, very close to the eastern end of the runway which is the home of the Battle of Britain Flight. We watched both Hurricanes and the Lancaster return from displays. The Lancaster obliged us to several ‘circuits and bumps’, we suspect to let everyone on board a chance to do landings and take offs. There is also a quick reaction RAF squadron using the airfield. Also the owner is very kind and patient about our booking.

Líbí se Location, brilliant spot next to the RAF base, will turn anybody into a plane spotter.
The owner Dawn was pro-active with directions and information for arrival, she was also helpful & considerate with everything while we were there.
Nice walk into Coningsby or local pubs for eating and drinks.

Líbí se Site location.

Nelíbí se Not much effort put into site, fence made of old pallets, grass not kept well. Been on much better sites for half the price.

Od správce: Thankyou for your review Timothy T,

It pays to do your research fully before booking any Campsite/Campground 🙂

We are a Rustic Farm Stay Campground set up for Plane Spotters, due to our close proximity to the Airfield at RAF Coningsby.

The Pallet Fencing is a quirky touch to the Campground/Campsite to which you are staying on.
The Campsite was a working Pig Farm in the past so the grass was never a “Grass Field” to begin with.

However unless you have not been living in the UK since April, you should be well aware of the Hot Weather and “Heat Waves” we have had and continue to be experiencing.

We are very flexible with booking arrival times and accommodate if Customers wish to arrive first thing in the morning, so unfortunately if the
Campsite has more than 2 bookings on it we don’t mow the grass until its empty or worse case scenario 1x Pitch is occupied.


Kind Regards

Líbí se Next to RAF Coningsby runway 25
If no flying a very quiet location

Nelíbí se No showers
Price is high for a field with nothing
The viewing area looks like it's about to collapse

Regarding your “No Showers” comment, you were staying in your own Motorhome, do you not have this facility on board your own accommodation ?

In response to your comment regarding “a Field with nothing” Electric Hook Up, Fresh Water Supply, Toilet with Sink, Waste Water Disposal and Rubbish/Recyling Bins, Viewing Platform of the Airfield 200 meters from the perimeter fence, they are the basics of a rustic/farm stay Campground.


Kind Regards

Líbí se We had lovely weather and did not leave the site.
Typhoon, Hurricane, and Spitfire were out flying during our visit - Bonus!
I am a big believer in recycling, and this process is simple and easy to follow.
Elsan point is a bonus.
Drinking water is available.
The viewing platform is a great addition.
Pitches are large and easily identifiable.
I would recommend this site, and the aircraft activity is a big bonus.
Dawn was very friendly, kept me updated via text regarding our stay.

Nelíbí se Washroom - I would think this could be modernised - however, it is functional, practical, and better than nothing for those who don't have these amenities with them.
