Gostou Its all about location location location. Amazing for watching the planes at RAF Coningsby. Rustic site which is perfect for a quiet getaway. Exactly as described. Dawn is amazing and pops by daily and nothing is too much trouble. Small and friendly. Short walk to Farm shop (less than 20 mins) and can also walk into town (30ish mins)... loads to do in driveable distance. You may think it's a little pri ey for facilities but where else can you be runway side of an active base. If planes are your thing it's a bargain price.

Gostou We wanted to see some planes and boy did we see some, Typhoons in abundance plus the BBMF returning from Blackpool - Lancaster, Spitfires and Hurricane. In addition to that we had an aerial display from Swallows/Swifts nesting in the barn, patridges and hares running around in the next door fields.

We loved it, a reminder of how caravanning used to be, a toilet and wash basin with cold running water only, in an out building and a pitch in the open counrtyside fantastic! We will definitely visit again.

Gostou Location is key! Amazing place if you’re into planes.

Não gostou The toilet really needs some money and time spent on it. No light, no room, no hot water.

Gostou A great little site. Basic facilities but clean and perfectly adequate for our needs.
In the middle of agricultural fields so views all around. A twenty minute walk along a farm track to Coningsby where there are shops, cafes and pubs, and also buses to Lincoln or Boston. Dawn, the owner, was really friendly and popped along to check everything was ok. Wouldn't definitely stay again if we were over that way.

Gostou The position of the campsite, very close to the eastern end of the runway which is the home of the Battle of Britain Flight. We watched both Hurricanes and the Lancaster return from displays. The Lancaster obliged us to several ‘circuits and bumps’, we suspect to let everyone on board a chance to do landings and take offs. There is also a quick reaction RAF squadron using the airfield. Also the owner is very kind and patient about our booking.

Gostou Location, brilliant spot next to the RAF base, will turn anybody into a plane spotter.
The owner Dawn was pro-active with directions and information for arrival, she was also helpful & considerate with everything while we were there.
Nice walk into Coningsby or local pubs for eating and drinks.

Gostou Site location.

Não gostou Not much effort put into site, fence made of old pallets, grass not kept well. Been on much better sites for half the price.

Do gestor: Thankyou for your review Timothy T,

It pays to do your research fully before booking any Campsite/Campground 🙂

We are a Rustic Farm Stay Campground set up for Plane Spotters, due to our close proximity to the Airfield at RAF Coningsby.

The Pallet Fencing is a quirky touch to the Campground/Campsite to which you are staying on.
The Campsite was a working Pig Farm in the past so the grass was never a “Grass Field” to begin with.

However unless you have not been living in the UK since April, you should be well aware of the Hot Weather and “Heat Waves” we have had and continue to be experiencing.

We are very flexible with booking arrival times and accommodate if Customers wish to arrive first thing in the morning, so unfortunately if the
Campsite has more than 2 bookings on it we don’t mow the grass until its empty or worse case scenario 1x Pitch is occupied.


Kind Regards

Vulcan Rest
