What customers say
This peaceful, friendly campground offers spacious sites and a relaxed atmosphere. Guests rave about the welcoming staff, clean facilities, and well-maintained fishing lake. A converted bus bar is a popular addition. Some minor drawbacks include occasional unpleasant smells from a nearby factory and a desire for more male restrooms and showers when the site is full. The site is ideal for fishing and a relaxing break.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Great little place for fishing nice and peaceful. Very close to disused railway track so it’s possible to cycle to Lincoln. Me and my lad went fishing we had a great time and the caretaker was helpful and friendly and even gave us some free bait to fish with.
Disliked No hand drying facilities and dish washing area needs updating with hot water and being kept clean

Lovely location for exploring the local area.
Powered cement/asphalt campsite
Liked We were made to feel very welcome on our arrival. The site was lovely and clean and quiet and we had plenty of space on our pitch. We really enjoyed the walk down to the river and we walked to and along the viaduct. My husband enjoyed the fishing which is included in the site fee and he seen a couple of kingfishers.
Disliked Not a dislike but some paper towels or a hand dryer would be good in the toilets.
