The Red Lion

Liked Lovely little campsite. Seems popular with other campers. Nice park for the kids to play on. Great location if you're into aviation due to the proximity of the museum and RAF Connigsby. Good facilities. Nice walks nearby. WiFi at pitch.

Disliked Its hard to find negatives for this site but if I had to say anything it would be that there are signs up in the toilets/showers asking people to mop the floors after use to keep it clean. I think this is a good idea but there's very little ventilation in there/no windows for the floors to dry. The floors were never dry during our stay so this meant muddy footprints on the wet mopped floors which defeated the whole point and also it was very slippery and there wasnt a wet floor sign. Im only mentioning this for other people's safety so bear it in mind.

Liked Good pitch sizes with both electric and water hook ups. Lovely play area for children. Daughter stayed in one of the static caravans which was very nice and clean and very good value for money. We wouldn’t normally stay on a family site and opt for the peace and quiet of adult only sites but this site is a 10 minute walk to the East Kirkby Airshow which is why we stayed there.

Disliked Quite a large site and only 4 toilets and showers, 2 men/2 women. Ladies could do with some minor repairs as looked ‘tired’. Our pitch (no. 6) had several large holes in the ground which could cause injury if not careful. Pub/restaurant doesn’t allow dogs in the dining area therefore we had to eat in the bar area which wasn’t particularly pleasant had we known we wouldn’t have booked a meal there. My food (cheese burger) wasn’t great but hubby enjoyed his steak, large portions and good selection on the menu.

Liked Very basic but better than mainstream camp sites peacefull and find the dimly lit site better at night than bug lights makes it an amazing experience at night for good nights sleep, pub hours are hit and miss

Liked With some care and maintenance, this could be a lovely set up.
Unfortunately it all feels abit bodged and run down.

The local history and the price are the only things going for this place.

Disliked Holes in ground on pitches are a health hazard.
Chains between pitches are also a health hazard in the dark, as they become invisible.
Children's play park has a floor of loose rubber, this is thrown around by the children. (They looked like they'd been sweeping chimneys)

The facilities state they are cleaned daily but this is not true.
Cleaning is down to the visitors.

Pub is quite expensive and not cleaned either.

Pub doesn't open until 5pm and only serves food until 8pm.
Cafe/shop isn't open on Sunday.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re naturally disappointed to read it, as it doesn’t reflect the standards we work hard to maintain.

Our toilet and shower facilities are checked, cleaned and restocked daily by our team. We also ask guests to help keep the shared facilities tidy between cleans, as is common on many campsites.

The safety of our guests is extremely important to us. The chains between pitches are installed to define pitch boundaries, and we have not received reports of them presenting a hazard. Likewise, the children’s play area uses recycled rubber safety surfacing, which is specifically designed for playgrounds.

We also note your comments regarding our pub, café and shop. Our opening hours are clearly displayed on our website, Pitchup listing and booking information before guests arrive. We appreciate these hours may not suit everyone, but they are not hidden.

As for value, we believe we offer one of the most competitively priced campsites in the area, and many of our guests comment positively on both the site and our facilities. While we’re sorry we didn’t meet your expectations, we wish you all the best with your future travels.

Liked Location and pitch size were fantastic. And good price.

From the manager: We appreciate your comments. For future guests, we’d like to clarify that our campsite is a traditional rural grass site, and we advise all guests before booking that the ground is naturally uneven in places. Our shared toilet and shower facilities are cleaned and restocked daily, and we also provide mops, cleaning products and notices asking guests to help keep the facilities tidy between cleans, as a small number of inconsiderate users can unfortunately affect them very quickly.

Liked Non electric pitch area.was lovely, lots of space and we made 3 bookings and we're all allowed to be together next to each other

Disliked Toilets and showers. Very dirty. Drains from showers, YUK.
I rinsed the nasty mop bucket and mop out, but others came along and left the mop festering in dirty water sgain.
Play area was misused by children, throwing the chippings around at others and moving the tractor about.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the spacious non-electric camping area and that we were able to accommodate your group together.

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with the toilet and shower facilities. These are cleaned, checked and restocked daily by our team. As they are shared facilities, we also rely on guests to leave them in a reasonable condition between our scheduled cleans. As you’ve mentioned yourself, other visitors left the mop in dirty water after you had rinsed it out, which unfortunately demonstrates how quickly shared facilities can be affected by the actions of a small number of guests.

We also appreciate your comments regarding the play area. Unfortunately, we cannot supervise children’s behaviour at all times, and we do occasionally have instances where the recycled rubber safety surface is thrown around or equipment is misused. When we become aware of this, it is tidied as quickly as possible.

We strive to provide a clean, safe and good-value campsite, and the vast majority of our guests enjoy their stay with us. Nevertheless, we appreciate you taking the time to leave your comments and wish you all the best for your future camping trips.

Liked Very peaceful and well maintained campsite ,toilets and shower rooms were very clean and the kids loved the park
