What customers say
A chilled adult-only spot with big, flat spots and a great fishing dam. Ralph, the super helpful warden, and the White Swan pub next door get top marks. Easy trips to Lincoln and lovely river walks. Facilities are mostly clean, but could do with a spruce-up when busy. Still, a gem for its vibe and price.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Location - lovely pub The White Swan we ate here both days had a few drinks very friendly log fire really chilled. Husband had a good couple of hours fishing on site whilst I explored the area on foot experiencing the very flooded River Trent. Together we also walked over to Fledborough viaduct. Plenty to do - weather wasn’t great for us but on a weekday or Sat there was an option to use the bus links into Lincoln - showers and toilets adequate and easy check in - site was quiet and I liked the mix of lodges and van spots
Disliked Nothing that would put me off recommending

A poor show

Liked Nothing
Disliked Booked 2 nights as a midway stopover after a Santander to Portsmouth ferry trip on our way back to Scotland. Ferry was cancelled so had to make alternative plans to get back to the U.K. Followed website instructions and emailed campsite. Asked if they had availability for alternative days. They didn't have the decency of a reply.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Wonderful site. The setting is really well laid out, easy to find and solid hard standing given we stayed over New Year.
Site manager was incredibly helpful and the location is just behind a village pub that we visited three times, also getting a warm welcome from them.
Can’t fault this site, recommend to use.

Liked Extremely warm welcome
Pitches are a good size
Location - access to walks, very good pub and Indian restaurant
Disliked Nothing really. Just minor comments that a mop and bucket to clean the shower after use and a waste bin in the washing up area would help.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked We’ve now stayed at Swan Lake twice and would definitely return again. The location is brilliant, there’s a fab pub right at the front of the site, and a local bus stop just around the corner which made it so easy to head into Lincoln. Lincoln itself is a beautiful place for a wander, and we also enjoyed a lovely walk down by the river and back, such a nice way to spend the afternoon.
There’s an Indian restaurant just down the road although we haven’t eaten there yet. We did order a takeaway one evening which was delivered to the front of the site, and that was really easy and convenient.
The host is super lovely and friendly, which always makes a stay feel more welcoming. The showers could do with being a little bit cleaner, but the water was nice and hot (which is a big plus for me as I love a hot shower!).
It’s nice and easy to find, in a great spot for exploring, and we’ll definitely be back.
