About The Red Lion

Situated next to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is a great location for exploring all that this beautiful county has to offer. Located in the grounds of a charming pub, you can also enjoy a tasty dinner with a short walk back to your pitch. Tents, trailer tents, caravans, campervans, RVs and motorhomes are all welcome on the site's 14 non electric grass pitches. Each of the pitches measures 9m x 6m and there are also an extra eight with a 16 amp electric hook up, though a 15m lead is recommended. Six fully serviced hardstanding deluxe pitches are also available for caravans, campervans and motorhomes. The pitches measure 9m x 6m and come with a 16 amp electric and water hook up, along with having a grassed area. There are also static caravans available to hire on site. The owners here love their site and are passionate about the local area and its rich history. Their RAF pub displays a rich history including a table engraved with the names of troops from the air base during WWII. BBQ's and campfires in fire pits are allowed, just as long as they are raised from the ground. Dogs are welcome too, with up to two allowed per pitch.

The Red Lion is open all year round.

Trailer Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Basic facilities but super clean and very reasonably priced pitches. Adjacent pub serves delicious food for very reasonable prices. Located a couple minutes walk to the Aviation Museum and about 8 miles from Coningsby so a perfect location!

10/10 stay!

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023

I looked for a site with a pub, dogs welcome, campfires allowed, WC, shower and electric pitches. The site is well kept and has large pitches. The price included electric, dog and awning for only £20, which is a bargain. The owner Chris was polite and helpful. The pub, although not open every day, served good food in large portions with a good selection of draught beers. Couldn't fault the place. Only about 17miles from Skegness or Mablethorpe.
