Riverview Caravan Park

Liked Everything. Made the mistake of booking night before hottest day on planet and let me tell you that pool is to die for!
Within first minute of arriving the owner came and greeted us asking if all was ok and sent us to where we needed to be sited and explained all the was to know about the site. Really enjoyed our weekend and will 100% be coming back ideally sooner rather than later.
Just to add, also has the best site mascot who comes to greet everyone at night time and gets sneaky snacks from people as a reward

Disliked Nothing- Would have enjoyed a pint on a Sunday evening before leaving though.

Liked Location, views, pool, spacious enough pod

Disliked We are travelling with our dog, when booking campsites I am looking for a specific rule- all dogs to be kept on leads at all times. This campsite had it stated also. When we saw a dog running towards us I shouted for owner, couldn’t find one. Other lady who had a dog also went to the pod and shut the door, I locked my dog in the pod also as my dog doesn’t like other dogs approaching her.
I rung the phone specified in the booking and owner replied that’s it’s his dog, his campsite and his dog can do whatever he wants as he is friendly. I asked why then there is such rule for dogs to kept on leads at all times- owner asked us to leave next morning (which was our scheduled departure day anyway) I hung up the phone as understood how ridiculous whole situation is. Owner immediately rung me back and asked us to leave the campsite immediately and he will refund us the day and he then hung up the phone. We packed up and left in the next 10 mins. Staff member did come and get the dog and apologised for the situation.
I I would like to reiterate the point that the campsite and the pods are fine, especially for fishing enthusiasts, or walkers. we were planning to come back from time to time but due to an absolutely ridiculous owners behaviour we will avoid this campsite at all costs.

Liked Site was in a beautiful location and not too big so a short walk to amenities. Happy hour great idea getting campers all together.

Disliked Very helpful on site but really difficult to get a return call prior to stay as left 3 messages. Shame no restaurant at the moment but takeaway service from local businesses good. Could have hired in a fish n chips van or similar for Saturday night. Toilets were tired no hand soap and needed some TLC.

Liked The site is lovely
The scenery is lovely
The pod is a very reasonable size with fridge toaster and kettle inside.
Great size pool and gym

Disliked Was upsetting as there were no chef so had to order a takeaway to the site, we would of loved a pub meal and breakfast.
Pool isnt heated so it was freezing so never went in even thow it was boiling weather.
With it been hot weather it is unbearable to sleep in the pod even though we also took a fan.

Friendly owner, nice bar area & lovely walk along the riverbank.
Disabled facilities available,
Dog friendly
Pool & gym onsite
Good base for visiting Skegness, Lincoln, Mablethorpe etc
Near Coningsby
Bring a canoe or paddleboard
(Visit Woodhall Spa & The Bluebell Pub)

Disliked No check in on arrival was odd
Shower/ toilet block needs attention. Floor as you step in is sunken, take care. Outside
Steps need washing down also
The washing up sink could do with shelter and is too close to the toilet waste area.

No food available on site due to staff issues & nearest shop is 2 miles away
