Non-electric grass and earth pitch
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 🙄

Non-electric grass and earth pitch
Liked: The pitches were level, the views were lovely. The facilities clean and great. Non electric area was large with marked up pitches and only a short walk to water and wash up point.
Disliked: Confusing signs about no reverse parking into pitch. Not sure if it was just for caravans........
