Liked: The peace
We had the whole field to ourselves and were able to just relax taking in the quietness of the countryside.
The location
In the middle of nowhere but only a five minute drive to Woodhall Spa.
The airshow
Being close to RAF Coningsby, we were able to watch the Lancaster Bomber fly low.
The lack of facilities
There is a toilet and a water point and nothing else which makes for brilliant wild camping.
Dogs
The site owner loves dogs and welcomes them on the site.
Score
I'd like to give this site a low score to keep it secret.
Disliked: Nothing. The price may seem high for what you get but for me it was worth it.

Liked: Peaceful secluded spot away from road noise in beautiful countryside. Facilities are minimal but that wasn’t a problem, it was good to get back to basic tent camping, keeping things simple.
Disliked: Some signage would have been useful, particularly on arrival.

From the manager: So glad you enjoyed the campsite and your brief stay with us, as we explained the eco-loo was closed due to a robin nesting in it. The temporary one was just that. We hope to see you next year.
