 We went to Clover Farm on one of the occasional weekends when Bubble Car rides are available. It was fun!
There are two pitching areas which are adjacent to each other. The `ehu` pitching area is directly behind the museum / café building, it is level, generously sized, the surface is well prepared and sheltered by trees. (Although there is little that will totally shelter you when the wind really gets going across the fens. ) The `rally` pitching area felt a little less secluded as it more directly faced the road.
Shower (requiring 20p coins) / wc facilities are very good in CS/CL terms. One detail; the shower coin mech is outside of the cubicle, so you will need to get yourself organised.
The water and chem disposal are convenient.
The museum itself and café are very good and reasonably priced.
A couple of general details to look out for:
- The B1192, on which the site is located, is one of the longest / straightest roads in the area, so is prone to the odd person travelling excessively fast.
- Lincolnshire Police have installed numerous fixed speed enforcement cameras throughout the county.
To sum up: A very comfortable CS with nice café and unique museum.

The other reviews are over a year ago, and we are sorry to say that what could be a very pleasant site has gone downhill in our opinion. We were greeted by the owner's sister in law, who was very friendly and helpful, explaining the usage of the shower, and not to change the settings.
The site was very peaceful first night and we looked forward to a 9 night stay. Next morning my wife went to the shower. The money box is outside the shower door, and the time clicks down immediately, so you have to be very quick to get in the shower.
The shower was counting down that morning, but no water, so my wife got dressed and went to the museum reception to ask them to look at it. The lady owner was extremely gruff, said she was too busy to help as the café was full of people, and said 'some idiot must have turned it off. ' That 'idiot' was presumably one of her customers.
On the Tuesday we were informed by the sister in law that a refrigerated van came every few weeks between festivals to clean out. We didn't think that was a problem, but we were very wrong. They arrived with an entourage of young helpers in a large number of tents. That night they were very noisy and the gentleman in the next unit to us went out at 11. 35 to ask them to be quiet. They fell silent, but the refrigerated unit was going on and off all night, and could be clearly heard.
When we got back the next evening, the large trailer had been moved next to us to give them a service pitch, even though there was plenty of room elsewhere. That night, I had to go out twice to ask them to be quiet, the second time at 11. 45, and was ignored. We mentioned it to the sister in law the next day, but were ignored by the owner, even tough she was helping the large group.
The next day they left, and the owner came to see us, and denied being aware of the noise problem, and also started criticising one of her long term customers. We made it clear we were very angry, and would nave left if we had not paid for 9 nights. We do not expect 5 star facilities for £13 a night, but we do expect cleanliness and peace and quiet after around 10 pm.
The toilets were only cleaned 3 times a week while we were there, presumably as the sister in law only works 3 days a week.
This is supposed to be a camping and caravan certified site for members only, but we were not asked if we were members, and it is highly unlikely the festival group were members.
We will not be going back.

Just got back from a lovely weekend at the site. Owners seem ver relaxed and friendly and when we turned up we were told we could pitch anywhere as we didn't want electric. Pitch was flat, nicely cut grass. My 2 girls enjoyed the tree area and used this as their den for the weekend.
Toilets and showers were fine and clean. You need 20p for the shower, for every 2 mins. I washed my hair and had a good shower for 40p and when only paying £8. 00 a night you cant complain about this.
Boston is fairly close, with a Tesco, Asda etc we also went to Sutton on sea for the day, which was about a 40 min drive
Will be looking to return again August BH
Would recommend if looking for a relaxed, quiet weekend away.

Noticed this site hasn't been reviewed since 2013 so thought I'd give an update.
I phoned and booked two days before our trip and the staff were incredibly laid back, didn't even ask for a name, just told us which field to pitch in when we arrived and said they would come find us. Good start.
Our friends arrived first, they are novice campers and were a little unsure where to pitch so the kind man at the reception/bubble car museum entrance/cafe showed them to a hidden spot through the trees which was a perfect hide away for our two tents.
The ground was the softest I have ever experienced, pegs went straight in without a mallet and the ground was perfectly flat. We located a pile of fire pits & BBQs at the side of the loo block (which are free to use) and got a fire started - be aware they don't sell firewood on site so we had to pick some up from a BP garage on the way.
Toilets (2 in each plus a disabled) and showers (one in each) were kept clean and toilet roll and soap were in good supply. The showers were 10p a minute and the machine only takes 20ps or pounds - so bring lots of 20s or enjoy a nice long shower. They were perfectly warm, pressure varied but was adequate at its worst.
The next morning we still hadn't been asked to pay for our pitch so we popped in to the Bubble Car Museum to pay our dues (£8 a night per tent - no charge for the dog - extra charges for more than four people in a tent). While we were there we took the little ones round the museum - three times! We also enjoyed a wonderful and incredibly cheap lunch and bought our selves a couple of homemade chutneys from the shop.
There isn't much to do in the local area, which was fine as we just wanted to kick back. But you will have to travel 30 mins + for attractions and the beaches.
All in all a lovely little site.

Visited this site several times, love it!
Very friendly, very relaxed atmosphere and site owners always happy to help if you need anything and don't intrude on your family time.
The museum is a must, lots of interesting micro cars from years gone by and some more recent models that you've forgotten about.
Toilets and showers are always immaculate, tea room is lovely too.
Will be returning again this year, one of my favourite sites!

Spent two nights at this site. £11. 00 per night with electric hookup for a motorhome with 2 adults and one dog. Campsite is behind the Bubble Car museum and was spacious and quiet.
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the museum which also has a teashop serving lovely cake. Also you can purchase jam, chutneys and cider which the farm brews itself. Toilets and showers were clean.
The showers took 20p coins. Would return to this site again.

We stayed here last week, meeting family and so were at Clover Farm with a combined party of 4 adults, 4 teenagers and 2 dogs!
We found the owners very friendly and welcoming, our dogs were even allowed into the tea room which is open when the adjoining museum opens to the public. The site was superb value for money- only £7 a night and there was a small charge for showers and for fire pit use.
This was a lovely, happy site and was a great base for us to explore the area and we all felt relaxed and chilled while staying there. We were fortunate enough to have a perfect clear sky so could watch the meteor shower together from round our campfire and this was very special.
Tents pitched around the outside of the main field, lovely and flat with a great central area for kite flying, ball games etc which was perfect while trees and hedgerows made an attractive and natural backdrop. The Bubble Car Museum was very interesting and worth a visit- As well as cars and motorbikes, there were also items from homes of bygone eras which was lovely. The tea room, when open was a comfortable place for sampling the home-made cake and you can even buy a bottle of local cider!

Lovely little campsite, fairly close to the road. Toilet and wash facilities were warm and clean, but could imagine there being queues at busy times. Shower is coin operated, so take plenty of 20p's. Owners were very friendly and approachable.
Museum is a fun little visit, and the cakes are amazing.
The site isn't overly close to other places, and you'd probably need a car to get out and about, but there are some lovely places to visit around.

A friendly and relaxed site which is in a good location for surrounding towns. Pitch fees extremely good value for money!
The site was very well kept, our pitch was level and there was plenty of space between pitches. The road noise was no problem to us; it was only just audible when sitting in the awning and not at all when in the caravan.
All the facilities including showers, toilets and washing up area were very clean and well maintained. Although there were no particular facilities for young children ie playground, ball games were allowed providing you were considerate to other site users. We did get the impression the site was very child friendly.
The information leaflet that was given to us upon arrival was very useful. The site is dog friendly and the information leaflet advised us of walks nearby.
We had a lovely visit to the bubble car museum that kept us all occupied for a good hour or so. It was well worth the £3 entrance fee and we also bought a programme for £1 which had additional information on all the exhibits, it made a lovely souvenir! The scrumpy cider went down very well and we wished we'd bought more to take home!
We would definitely recommend this site and would happily return if visiting this area again.

We decided at last minute to go away for Easter as the weather was so awful and we thought that if we stayed at home we would be doing lots of jobs around the house and it wouldn't be a holiday, but in the caravan we can have a bit of a break and put our feet up!
This site looked relatively new with brand new shower and toilet blocks housed at the rear of the bubble car museum. So new in fact, I don't think they were actually finished ! We didn't use them as we have our own in the van.
The site was flat and plenty of space between each unit.
The temperature dropped to minus 10 on the second night we were there which created a bit of a problem for the site owners as the recycled water that is used for flushing of the toilets froze and a pipe fractured, causing a waterfall down the outside of the building! Luckily it didn't go inside.
The Bubble Car museum is a little gem and has lots of lovely memorabilia to look at. There is also a cafe there although we didn't use it.
Our plan for the weekend was to travel up to Lincoln for the day on Saturday and it was lovely. The sun shone and we had a lovely open top bus ride around Lincoln and spent a long time looking round the cathedral. They let well behaved dogs in too !
On Easter Sunday we had some family visitors come up for the day which wasn't a problem for the. Campsite owners at all.
We looked round the museum in the morning then went to Woodhall Spa and found a pub in the main street doing a Sunday Carvery and even though we hadn't booked, they catered for us. Mind you, it was because we wanted to sit outside as we had dogs with us! It was very full inside so very popular.
We also visited a working windmill and climbed right to the top inside!
A lovely little site and would like to go back when everything's up and running as it was the beginning of the season when we were there.
