Non-electric grass and earth pitch
Liked: small site, quiet, good shower block. Staff were friendly and helpful. Had a meal at the pub attached to the site. Good quality food nicely cooked and presented. All necessary information and codes provided in plenty of time before my trip.
Disliked: Getting out through the barrier. For what ever reason I couldn't trigger the pressure plate with my motorbike to open the automatic barrier. I was lucky that other campers punched the code in on the entry side so I could get out. Would have been a bit of a struggle getting of the bike with all my camping gear, putting the code in, then coming to push my bike through before the barrier dropped. Wouldn't stop me staying again.

2 bedroom static caravan (four person)
Liked: * LOCATION: The campsite and our "static caravan" were far from the road, and the place was very quiet. The campsite shares a border with the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (which is worth visiting even if you are not into planes). * STAFF: The campsite owner has been extremely helpful. We had a few minor questions, and she replied to our messages instantly. * CLEANINGNESS: The campsite and our static caravan were spotless, and our caravan was as clean as a good hotel. * ORGANISATION: The campsite was very organised. Chains separate the pitches, there is a one-way system for cars, and parking does not affect children's play.
Disliked: * Weather: it rained quite a lot!

Liked: As a young family with a young daughter, we really enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and relaxing as well as having a little park for her to play in.
Disliked: The families were wet and muddy and quite slippery.

From the manager: Hi we are sorry you found the facilities wet and muddy and slippery we had been monitoring this and put wet floor signs up at the entrance, with the amount of rain that fell on Sunday this was alittle out of our control we cleaned these facilities as much as possible to mitigate this thanks

Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked: Location. Value for money. The tent pitch size. The site in general. Close to air museum. Hot showers.
Disliked: Very poor hand dryers. Water pressure for my wife’s hair washing low. Bins over flowing around kids play area rubbish getting scattered around. Skip bins overflowing. Sanitary bins overflowing in toilets. Only one toilet door locked in ladies. Ran out of toilet roll and hand wash. Took a while to get re-supplied.
