 Deciding we wanted to spend more time away throughout the year than our trailer tent would comfortably allow (British weather), we have invested in a cheap but tidy caravan.
This was our maiden voyage and we decided to use this site as it is local to us so easy to get home if necessary.
Well sign posted off the A15- just follow the brown signs.
Firstly, please bear in mind that this is February and still very dull, wet and cold.
The only pitches that were open for use were no's 1-6 in the quiet area. We chose our own pitch and set up. Later in the afternoon Robert came round to welcome us.
This was half-term week but we were still quite surprised to see that there were 3 other caravan units pitched and one of the log cabins in use.
Good generous sized pitch, electric hook-up on a meter- Robert explained that these have been installed because of rising electricity costs and having received a very hefty bill felt it was better to adopt this approach as you are now paying for what you are using. We had no objection to this and our usage was £8.00 for 2 days.
The pitch was £10.00 per night so not expensive at all!
There was a chicken and a cockerel that frequented our pitch and much to our dog's disgust and disbelief, the chicken took to eating her food from her bowl!
We did walk the 'Pet Walk' and beyond which was lovely. The area and site is very rural and I would imagine even more appealing in the spring and summer when it would be less muddy.
The main field- although empty also had generous size pitches which led on to the Rally Field.
Facilities:
Robert does give out an information sheet that tells you where local amenities are- Welton is the closest for a Co-op, Fish & Chip Shop & there's also a Pub.
The site rules are also on this sheet.
There is a wooden information hut/ games room which has tourist information leaflets available.
The reception wasn't open at any point (due to the season) but Robert came round on our day of departure at which point we paid him and then we were left to pack up in our own time. There was no pressure to leave in a hurry.
The shower/toilet block however didn't appear to match what other reviews have said. We can only conclude that there are additional facilities but that these are perhaps only opened up for the season. On our visit there was 2 ladies loos, 2 wash basins and 1 shower- with the 20p meter on the wall near the basins. Not ideal if like me, you forget to put the money in before starting to undress.
The shower was not particularly powerful but it was hot.
According to my husband, in the men's there was 1 loo, 1 urinal, 2 wash basins and 1 shower.
Outside of the shower/toilet block was a sink presumably for dish washing. The laundry facilities were not available at this time.
There were clear signs that preparations were under way for the forthcoming season ie Paint pots, creosote etc.
Overall opinion:
I am sure that this is a lovely friendly site during the main season and I can imagine it to be really quite pretty.
IF the facilities that we saw are the total then I would think the summer could be difficult for campers BUT from other reviews, I suspect this is not the case.
We enjoyed our maiden voyage and think that we would probably visit this site again for a weekend away.
We wouldn't spend any longer purely because we are local anyway so know the area and the attractions around.
If you are looking for a base to explore Lincolnshire and are happy to be away from it all with nothing in the way of on-site entertainment, clubhouses etc. Then put this site on your potential visit list!

We chose this site as it is only half hour from home. When we rang to book we were told to go to the rally field on arrival which was easy to find.
There was no one to greet us so we chose our own spot which was newly mown, flat and sheltered and eventually saw the owner when he opened the office for an hour in the evening.
There was a playground in the family field next door and a small info point with leaflets of local attractions, but no nearby shop or pub.
The toilets (3 ladies and 3 gents) were clean and there were showers, but we did not use them. This was a basic site but well kept, although it was a little noisy at night due to several families in the next field playing until late in the playground, although by 10.30 it did quieten down.
The 5mph speed limit is enforced rigorously by the owner if you exceed it! At £10 for 2 of us a night it was good value, will return.

We stayed for 3 nights in the 'Romany' caravan and enjoyed the experience immensely. Robert Cox is very friendly and helpful - a thoroughly decent chap.
The facilities are basic but clean and in good working order and we did not have any problems with anything. The site was central to the area we were interested in and Robert loaned us a detailed OS map of the area which we found very useful indeed.
We shared a huge field with one other family - Ted, Sandra and their daughter Dawn. I only wish our stay could have been longer as we really enjoyed their company.
Whilst we do have our own tent and equipment, the stay in the caravan was much appreciated and we even liked the look of the log cabins situated amidst the pine trees.
We shall visit here again.

We booked this site for 2 nights for the 'Waddington air show' in early July. We arrived around 8pm & there was a board with our name on as you came up the lane. We found Robert the owner on the site & he gave us a choice of pitches. We chose the no children field even though we had three! We pitched and had a beer. The next morning I paid Robert & then went to the Air show, brilliant!
The site is rural & quiet with a few walks just off site. Robert is really friendly & helpful. The showers were great I think it was 20p but lovely & hot.
Washing up was under cover with a water heater which you turn on wait a while & turn off when you've finished. We didn't see much of the area but there was loads of tourist leaflets in a type of shed,along with games, balls etc. Overall a great stay & would certainly return later in the season if we can?

We have just arrived back from a long weekend at Lincolnshire Lanes and had a fantastic time!
We found that pitch sizes varied quite greatly - if you have a particularly large tent, it might be worth mentioning when booking as some of the non-ehu pitches were quite small. They are all flat though, and some were very well shaded and protected from wind.
The EHU points were spotted all over the field, and so make sure you have an extension just in case you cant pitch close to the point.
The toilets and showers were clean and well maintained. I do begrudge paying for showers as a rule and so the 20p for 5 minutes charge disgruntled me. However, it was hot, clean and 5 minutes was plenty long enough. The main problem was that the lights in the block are on a motion sensor that doesn't cover the shower, so about a minute before the end of my shower, the block was plunged into darkness!
The owner enforces a strict 5mph speed limit, and a strict no noise after 10.30 rule - this is fair enough, however he came and asked us to be quite at about 11.45pm one night, even though the rally field next door were making a noise much later.
This is the kind of site where you really do need to arrive with everything you need, as the nearest major supermarket is in Market Rasen which is 9 miles away and takes a good 20-25 minutes to get to. There is a Co-op closer for essentials should you need it.
My only downsides were having to pay for showers, the cockrel waking us up every morning, and paying £4 per night for EHU - I have never paid more than £2.50 before!
All in all, this is a lovely site, and being only 45 minutes from home, it is ideal for us for a weekend away

Just come back from our Easter Break at this site. We were allocated the Rally field as we were a family group of 13 for two days and 8 for two days. The field was flat and well drained considering the weather. It seemed to dry out very quickly after rain except in the heavy traffic area. Robert, the owner, was very helpful. He organised a tug-o-war on Easter Sunday unfortunately I don't think he got many takers due to the inclement weather.
The facilities have been up graded over the winter. There are two showers and 4 loos in the ladies. Showers are 20p for five mins and hairdryer likewise. There was a notice saying don't use shower and hairdryer at the same time or the electric will be tripped. As the site was quiet this wasn't a problem. If you are having a hook- up probably best to bring your own. Pot wash was sheltered and hot water always available. There was also a washing machine and tumble dryer but I had no cause to use them so I didn't investigate this further. Plenty of information on where to go and what to see. Fridge/freezer available at reception times. Also small shop selling confectionery.
Nearest supermarket in Market Rasen, quaint market town. I think the site would be best suited to families with young children as there were small animals and a playground to keep the young ones amused, including Flick the border collie who loves football. There are many walks and country houses to visit so couples may also enjoy this area. All in all a very peaceful part of the world.

We found the site after travelling down single track roads (from the direction we travelled in from)They are def single track and if I was towing I would be hoping not to meet anything. On the way home we met the biggest machine you have seen luckily at a place we were able to pull over!
As you turn into the site there is a board with your name and pitch number on so you can find your way to your pitch.
You pass the 'quiet area' pitches on your way to the main camping field. This area is for adults only. There are also 2 log cabins that look to be very large and very nice.
The main campimg field is a good size and looks a good place to camp.
We were through the gate and in the rally field - good value for tent and family of 4 at £9 per night - £5 for pitch and £4 for ehu.
Main field is ehu but rally field is limited ehu (3 I think)
The site is very peaceful.
Recycling is an absolute must on this site and the owner is very particular that you recycle in the correct bins - paper, plastic, glass, burnable and other.
There are 2 showers in the ladies and 4 toilets and 3 wash basins. Showers are 20p for about 5 mins. There is also a hairdryer - again 20p.
The showers are in good condition and look new.
Can't comment on the gents other tan OH didn't moan about them so they must be OK.
There is a shed for the reception that is open for an hour early morning and an hour around 4.30pmish. You can find the owner there and pay your fees.A few sweets are on sale here and you can arrange to get a paper (I think)
Another shed next to this has masses of information on what to do and see in the surrounding areas and plenty of local information. It is all laid out in different sections - walks, town, cycling etc.There are a couple of games for the children too.
Around the corner is a laundry - washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board BUT I wouldn't use it. One of the people with us used the machine and it didn't wash, just covered her washing in dirty smelly water. Machines require 20ps to work (think it was£1,80 a wash)
In the main camping field there is a small are with play equipment for children but it is in serious need of updating (or making safe) or just removing. There are rabbits and guinea pigs in hutches too.
A stroll towards the dog walk and down a little path you come upon a few sheep and 2 goats in a field and some chickens in another little filed. It's a nice little stroll around the far end of the site and there are blackberry bushes ripe for picking at the right time of year. There is a public footpath to Spridlington through the potato field.
There were a lot of wasps about when we went the weekend before bank holiday.
There are no near by village shops. The nearest being about 10 mins away where there is a Costcutter and a Co-op and a chip shop.
We travelled as far as Market Rasen to the nearest supermarket (Tesco) but this is as far as we ventured out. It's about a 20 drive (roughly 10 miles. We did find a little motorbike garage/shop so just had to have a look.
It is a very quiet site and I would recommend it if you wanted a nice relaxing peaceful away from it all time BUT it is just 10 miles from market Rasen and 10 miles from Lincoln itself so situated in a perfect position for quiet and busy.
When we visited the weather was perfect (maybe a little windy on one day).
The ground was literally rock hard. Not stony or rock but very hard and when decamping we had terrible trouble getting the pegs out. Hammering the deltas in was hard work too. I'm going to invest in metal ones after this trip.
I would go back and visit again for a totally chilled out relaxed time doing absolutely nothing.

Wow! Well what a lovely site this is!
Lovely owner who made us feel very welcome. We were able to pitch our tent anywhere in the main rally field. The field is surrounded by great wind protection.
The toilets were nice and clean, plenty of hot water. There is a small charge to use the showers but we prefer this as you always get piping hot water.
The owner went around the site last thing in the evenings to hush any rowdy parties going on so we slept really well.
Quite remote, no nearby supermarkets but you could get to a village shop and there's Hemwell giant car boot on a Sunday.
Really low fees - and no pressure to vacate really early on our last day great.

Just back from a 4 day midweek visit to this site. We booked this site at short notice as our usual site was fully booked. The site was very quiet with only 3 tents including us at one point.The price was excellent at only £8 per night. The site is in a very quiet location on a farm. Though on one of the days there was a lot of machinery noise until 2230hrs. We assumed that the farmer was bringing the hay in.
The toilet & shower blocks are separate and the ladies looks to be pretty new and clean. Showers cost 20p however the pressure is good and I don't mind paying a small amount to guarantee a hot shower. My husband and I like to shower together so it was a little disappointing not to be able to do that.The shower meters are a little temperamental and sometimes needs to be tapped to activate them.
The dishwashing area has a water heater which was also very temperamental. One time we had to wash up in cold water as we couldn't get any hot water after 20 minutes of trying.
There is a resident english sheepdog called Flick and a hen that we nicknamed Matilda and they both visit the tents regularly. Don't leave any food unsecured as we watched Flick go into tents when the owners were away and come out eating something! Flick loves footballs and like most dogs will puncture most balls. He is fab at ball control though. Think he should play for England.
It rained for 2 days and the high traffic areas got a little muddy however the camping field was fine.
Our 10 year old son enjoyed the play area and liked looking at the rabbits and guinea pigs
We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again

Visiting over the bank holiday weekend the site was busy but not overly cramped. The facilities suffered a little with the traffic but were of a good standard with showers and hairdrying at 20p a go. Other facilities included a little shop in a shed and small kids playground complete with rabbits.
Robert was very accomodating in squeezing us in another pitch at short notice and provided a nice little information pack with local info and a magazine. There is plenty to do in the local area and Market Rasen was only ten minutes away through quiet country roads. It boasts a sizable Tescos with petrol, a good friendly pub on the main square and an excellent Indian, the Taal, on the main road.
If in the area again I would return, would like to enjoy the site a little quieter, the location is good for all Lincolnshire and the surrounding countryside is beautiful.
