Does anyone know of a nice reasonably quiet campsite in lincolnshire that me and my stepsister can take our 5 kids for a few days away in the summer holidays?  Definitely don't want a haven type campsite, a mown field with nice toilets and showes will do fine, as long as it has plenty of room for the football and tennis.  Dont want to go too far from home.

Thanks

Hi Kate

What about Smeatons Lakes, Newark? Plenty of room, nice toilets and showers. There is no playground though. You can walk into Newark from the site, which is a lovely town.

Don't fancy the idea of having contractors caravans on the same site as me though.  When they say they're welcome on their website it's kind of offputting!

Thanks for the idea though

why not join us here at Linc Lanes there will be plenty of kid's of all age's

Excellent idea, will see what the stepsister says and hopefully be in touch

Kids range from 11 down to 5, can take bikes, Sherwood forest site has mixed reviews on the campsite search, although it would be good in that it's not far from home in the event of bad weather.

Thanks

The site is open all year, if not too far from home why not have a ride out and take a look, just call in at the shop/office and then mooch around I am sure they won't mind.  That way you can see if it is what you fancy.  If you walk through the gate at the bottom and turn right you can walk through to the farm park next door and see quite a few animals for free!  If you like the place you can book whilst visiting and you're sorted!  Clumber Park, Sherwood Forrest etc all nearby too.

Hey I should be on commission..

my vote goes to sherwood forest caravan park.

if youve got bikes you can cycle around clumber park or sherwood pines for hours, if you dont have your own bikes you can hire from either of them.

if your not into cycling then theres loads of other stuff to do and theres some nice walks from the campsite too.
