A aimé : We loved everything about this site. It was very clean and was peaceful. The lady at reception was very lovely and was friendly, making us feel welcome from the get go.

There are geese and ducks on site which were cute and a pleasure to watch with their young.

There is a designated area for dog walking by the river which is a god send. We have been to sites before that say dog walking area but there clearly wasn’t one, so to have one was a real bonus for us.

The site is very quiet and everyone we came across was friendly. There were 2 shower blocks that we saw, our nearest one looked old and dated, but inside was lovely and warm and spotlessly clean. Plenty of room to get showered and changed with hooks for your belongings.

On arrival, you are given a map of the site and an information booklet, as well as a fob for the security gate.

There are shops within a 10 minute drive (a weakness for me as there was a LIDL, and their freshly baked pastries and sweet treats are amazing) so I drove over on Sunday morning to get some croissants for breakfast. 🥐

We were here over a weekend and the was even an ice cream van that came on the site which was a lovely surprise 🍦

This site is really well laid out with everything you could ask for. We will definitely be coming back!! 👌🏻

A aimé : The lake view pitches.

N'a pas aimé: Seemed like they weren't actually pitches but part of the carpark. Showers were dated at best. The more recent ones were filthy & luke warm. Elsan point was blocked & over flowing.
There was music playing somewhere around from 4pm till 6am despite being told it was quiet time from 11pm. Staff said it came from a farm 3 miles away which i doubt, it was very clear to be that far away.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello
I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay.
To address a couple of points in your review. The toilets were cleaned twice daily so i am sorry you found them dirty i can only assume it was in between cleans. As for the music it was the farmer in Sudbrooke having a birthday party for one of his children. His land comes right up to near the level crossing in Langworth which is why it seemed so nearby. I personally patrolled park several times as i like you were disturbed by the noise. Had it have been anyone on park they would have most definitely been told to stop.

A aimé : We had a spacious pitch by the lake which was scenic & private. The hard standing pitch was level, meaning we didn't have to mess about with the wheel ramps! The WC/Shower block was clean and functional and was adequately sized to cater for all the residents. We never had to wait to use any of the facilities. All the staff we met were helpful and welcoming. The personal "key fob" barrier is good and gives you a sense of added security. We didn't use the WiFi or travel with children so haven't left a 'star' rating for those points.

N'a pas aimé: Just as a note of constructive criticism...the shower water temperature was just warm and could do with increasing a few degrees, however the pot wash facilities were piping hot!
We stayed during the night that the rave music was playing until 6am, however this was definitely coming from outside the park (by some distance) and is obviously beyond the control of the Barlings staff/owners. It was just bad luck that it happened during our stay although it did only happen one night and the rest of the time the site was quiet and peaceful.

A aimé : Beautiful site, with large pitches, plenty of room in-between. Well maintained camp site, with friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. Fishing lakes were great for kids catching small fish but nothing of any size. Good size dog walk at rear of site. Pub only a short walk away with really nice menu. Lincoln only a short ride away.

A aimé : We were met with a warm welcome and given information about the site and surrounding area. The site is secured by barriers and gated at night (you’re given a fob on check in) which was reassuring.

There’s a lovely little pub 10 minutes walk away (top of the lane and turn right) which serves good food and has good menu options. Also on the main road (turn left at the top of the lane) is a bus stop with a couple of buses an hour to take you into Lincoln.

The pitches are huge and well spaced out, the facilities are basic but adequate and the site is natural and not manicured.

N'a pas aimé: There’s not a lot to dislike but the ponds/lakes are small and quite weeded and didn’t appear to be well stocked (according to site regulars) which is fine for kids (who seemed to be loving the fishing) but not so for a keen angler. It wouldn’t deter us from coming back though because it’s a lovely site and we enjoyed our stay.

A aimé : Really easy to find. Quite and friendly campsite. Facilities clean and tidy with plenty of room on the toilet/wet room with shower. Washing up area as well.

N'a pas aimé: Location of electric hookups in certain places not the best as wires running in front of tents
