Liked: What a great place to view the planes coming and going, we also saw the Lancaster Bomber take off for Belgium. The toilet block was always kept clean, we will definitely be going back. Dawn very easy to deal with and made a great recommendation for somewhere to eat.

Power optional grass site

Liked: Right by the runway. Perfect for plane spotting. Great raised platform for it too. Just a shame nothing was flying this weekend 😄. Having only 5 pitches also pretty much garauntees a peaceful break

Disliked: Lack of shower facility and extremely basic toilet facilities. For £30 per night I’d usually hope for a little more but still think it’s great

Local attractions

Hot foot it to The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors Centre (five minutes’ drive) for guided tours of the flight hangars, and visit the solemn Dambusters Memorial in Woodhall Spa, which commemorates 617 Squadron. Petwood Hotel (both 15 minutes) was the squadron’s Officers’ Mess in World War II, and you can see a dummy bouncing bomb in the grounds. Thorpe Camp Visitor Centre (10 minutes) relates the story of the Dambusters. Other war-themed museums in the area include the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (20 minutes), Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre (half an hour) and the International Bomber Command Centre (45 minutes), so there’s lots to keep historians busy. Travelling with the kids? They can let off steam on inflatables at Tattershall Lakes Water Park (10 minutes), and head for the fairground rides at Skegness and Ingoldmells (both 45 minutes), the dune-backed sands at Mablethorpe or the quiet beach at Sutton on Sea (both 55 minutes). You’re covered for rainy days too: the Kinema in the Woods in Woodhall Spa (15 minutes) shows blockbuster films in a 1920s cinema.
