Riverview Caravan Park

Ik was blij met Location, views, pool, spacious enough pod

Ik was niet blij met 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.

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

Ik was niet blij met 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.

Ik was blij met 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

Ik was niet blij met 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.

The staff work hard around the site and Phil is always on hand if theres any problems. I found the site and toilets very clean and well stocked. If you book this pplace you wont forget it

Ik was niet blij met Really cant think of anything

Ik was blij met Peaceful , small site. Close to River Witham
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)

Ik was niet blij met 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

Ik was blij met The pod was very clean. The site was lovely and peaceful. Phil and the team couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. The club house had a great atmosphere and we all felt like we belonged there. The children had fun in the swimming pool even though it wasn't heated. It was useful being able to use the gym next to the pool. We will be back!

Ik was niet blij met There was no food at the restaurant. However, we ordered a takeaway and had it plated up and washed up for us at the clubhouse. They even gave us condiments to go with our takeaway.

Ik was blij met Neatness of whole site, incredibly quiet and although shower facilities are basic we had a very pleasant stay. Owners very friendly and very often come to see you to ensure everything is ok.

Ik was blij met The lovely river area so close to the pod.

Ik was niet blij met No receptionist on arrival, looked all over waited over 45 minutes before I saw a holiday maker who gave me the key to the pod. We just had no choice. The area around the entrance near reception was an utter disgrace, I was extremely disappointed 😞.

Van de manager: Good morning Janet thank you for your review
We take them vety seriously

Your booking was for monday the 8th for 1 night

Re your comment on the reception not been mand
We very small family run holiday park with 14 hard standing pitched and 14 camping pods
If you would have called my number you would have recieved from the pitch up or seen it located on the door to reception I or one of my amazing park staff would have attended to you as they were on park

I very sorry for the full bins our bins in are bin store they are collected on Tuesday early morning

And as you arrived on a monday after very busy weekend and as you can see from previous 10 star reviews from the same weekend

I wish I had the goldly powers to empty the bins daily

And the economic of free receptionist to sit there waiting for you to check it

But to see the full park in all of its glory

I offer you a free week end

Phil
Park manager
