Riverview Caravan Park

Liked Touring pitches were clean and well looked after. Liked that you could help yourself to wooden table/chairs. Very family owed couldn’t do enough to make your stay happy and content. Very clean toilets and shower. Loved the walk along the river. The pub onsite wasn’t too expensive, and great to have with an outside playground. Will definitely go back again.

Disliked I know he is in the middle of building a better waste water facility but a hole in the ground atm is what you get. Better washing up facilities would be nice also. Only 1 shower working.
Heated pool would be brilliant, however I knew this and we all took wetsuits which worked perfectly.

From the manager: Hi thank you so much for a lovely review
We take them very seriously

Thank you for your comments as we strive to improve our guests stay over the last month's the touring field has had a news access road plus 18 new hard standing pitches .

The wast disposal hole in the ground your words . Is not just a hole
It's connected to the main collection .

If fact the new wasted disposal was up and running on Friday yes the sinks for the wash up is in place and will be connected up to water early this week . Plus a 6 foot surround enclosing the wash up . Will be finished this week

Re the pool fingers crossed now the cost of beer pumps have come down and running cost the pool to be heated very soon

So happy you enjoyed your stay looking forward to seeing you very soon and with the ongoing improvements will earn a 10 star

Thank
Phil

Liked Pitch and overall area: we arrived early and were allowed on site.
Pitch was spot on with full EHU/water. The staff and owner Phil were friendly and helpful, gave us a tour, explained how everything worked and where everything was, shop, bar, toilets& showers etc and came around to check we were settled.
Phil the owner was happy to accept our friends to our pitch for a visit, then said they could stay the night if they wanted.. very hospitable.
Phil is trying very hard to renovate and doing a fab job considering he’s only been the owner for around 12/18 months.

Pub on site with evening entertainment, however we were too busy to go to the pub.

Location: on the riverside, so we took the kayak and paddle board out, easy area to launch. Great fun.


All other campers were very friendly and their dogs were well behaved.
Will be going back to see the improvements.
Finally and not an issue for us, no WiFi due to Coningsby Airbase being so close - great for plane watching though.

Disliked We didn’t dislike anything and appreciate there was work going on. Hence the 8/10 stars - Bathrooms were clean, but dated and showers need a little attention, however I’m sure Phil will bring the site up to 10/10 once renovations are completed.

Liked Everything!

Liked Pods are very well equipped with a bed, fridge, toaster and kettle so are excellent value for money. Continuous improvements are being made to the site which adds to its appeal and the addition of a tarmac road in the caravan and pod field makes parking much easier.

The WiFi signal seemed to have vastly improved since my previous visit last year as I was able to get it in and around the pod but not sure if that’s specific to the site itself now or the local area.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay again and would recommend to friends and family with the added bonus for me being the proximity to the nearby RAF base as you’re able to watch the fast jets taking off and landing though there wasn’t as much activity during my stay.

Disliked Very minor issue, a darker curtain would be better in the pods near the end due to the bright lighting outside.

Access to one of the water taps was a little difficult once the hard standing had a caravan on it as it felt a bit intrusive to the occupier having to go right behind it to fill a water container.

Liked Had an absolutely amazing stay, so nice we have booked again in two weeks time.
Very peaceful site great value for money, we went for a chill time which is what we got, there is a pub onsite, and swimming pool which we didn’t use but will next time, wr did have the Sunday diner which was very nice the staff could not do enough for you, very friendly and helpful, can’t wait to come back

Disliked Nothing to dislike everything was spot on had a little trouble emptying the toilet in my van as it was a pipe and pump so location wasn’t great but he has a new point going in this week which will be better located but this isn’t a issue for the majority who probably have cassette toilets I still managed to do it in the end so no big deal

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Fantastic place
Very lovely walks along the river
Manager was a nice guy
Definatly returning
Hidden little gem

Disliked No toilet rolls in any loos glad we Brough our own apart from that all good

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Lovely warm friendly welcome

Pod was cosy with kettle, toaster, fridge & mugs and outdoor seating

Good facilities

Dog friendly and picturesque walks around the area

Drive to Tattershall only minutes away with Dominoes, Coop and fish & chip shop

Would definitely stay again as it had a lovely friendly family atmosphere & is great value for money 😀

Disliked Other visitors blasting out their music all day but to be fair didn’t disturb us at night but glad our pod wasn’t near theirs!

Didn’t have a black out curtain so the very bright flood light at the end of the site was shining in our pod all night, which made it feel like it was day time!

Other guests must’ve been stealing toilet roll as there were loads wheh we got there then none by the next day! Maybe worth investing in the industrial dispensers that public toilets have & are locked, so nobody can take the rolls? Just an idea 😊

From the manager: Hi thank you so much for your lovely review

It means a lot to the riverview team and my self

Black out curtains is a good idea I put it in our improvement list

Toilet paper !!! Is always a challaging subject

Other than having toilet paper police lol
It's always a good idea to bring your own

It something keeps us on our toes lol

As a family run park and people that come to the park for the tranquility
Load music is not tolerated

This group of people were warned about the music . But unfortunately choose to ignore my instruction

So they left me no choose but to cut there stay short and asked to leave which they did

It's very rear this happens but we are please it was felt with in the correct manor

Glad you had a fantastic time hope to see you again soon

Liked We loved our stay! I visited by myself witb my 2 young girls (9&6yrs). The owners are clearly on a mission to upgrade & improve a lot about the site. I hope in soing so it doesn"t lose its intimate & personalised feel. There are good sized hard-standings around a new tarmac drive loop with staric pods in the centee. The toilet & shower block were cleaned frequently and currently being updated (didn't interfere with out stay). As a bit of a twitcher I adored hearing a cuckoo on a regular basis, spotting red kites, buzzards, kestrels & chaffinch nearby. Sadly no spotting of the visiting seal in the River Witham.
From the main touring area is a short 1 minute meander to the bar and entertainment area. The staff are helpful and friendly. The bar has a pool table and supply of board games. The bar does have food served most nights though we didnt use that. I loved sitting in the evening sun, with a good cider from the bar,watching the fighter jets & older planes looping around us whilst the kids played. We had food from the Friday burger van and my picky children saw off their whole burgers & I enjoyed my pie, chips & peas. There's also a small site shop all good prices, eg some drinks & crisps for 50p which is a refreshing change! The kids spent *hours* playing on the play park (&using their scooters down the very smooth hill entrance). Phil, site manager, was always about and helped me with electric hook up & finding a book I'd lost! Very attentive customer service that makes a difference for the good! We will be very tempted to visit again, for sure!
Ps. Toilet roll - it was rare there was none at all in the toilet blocks. As per most campsites, taking your own always advised just in case but I didn't feel it was lacking. Bonus.

Disliked The indoor pool was extremely cold. My young girls managed 30 minutes ish of playing but came out very cold and in need of a warm up (thankfully weather helped there!) I managed waist height but had to admit defeat. It's a shame as the existence of the pool was one of the main reasons for visiting the site as my kids & I love to swim.
*HOWEVER* Phil, site manager, assures me that this is to be heated imminently & I will be monitoring this because when it happens it will certainly seal our return trips here.
The cleanliness of the pool itself was fine.

As the developments continue, new seating around the pool and outside the bar will also help to make this place even more welcoming.

From the manager: Hi angela a d your to little angels
It was a real pleasure to have you and your lovely family stay with us
Your girls loved it so much you booked an extra night

Would you beleave it sami the seal made showing the day you left ,😉

The pool
Yes is a bit chilly but is not advertised as a heated pool
How ever it is indoor with a warm air heating surround

With in the coming weeks heat pumps are on its way
As part of our upgrading

Good idea for more seating it on the list

See you guys very soon

Perhaps we get a 10/10 next time

All the best
