About the site


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 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.

Although we arrived quite late on the Friday night, it was getting quite dark and we were a little weary from work and our travel to yhe site. We haven't had our caravan long and it was our first try out in it, we were struggling with the electric hook up but Chris at the site came to our aid and made sure we were ok. We cannot thank him enough. Overall a lovely site clean, peaceful and staff were lovely too. We would definitely recommend and I'm sure we will visit again.

Very pleasant stay

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Easy to find, pre-visit emails give all the info to access site, toilets and pub opening. The emails are quite a slick operation with info on local amenities and shopping. Easy to get to big beaches - shame about the awful Lincs roads. Big play area for kids, pitches are large and well defined. A couple if gripes: no facility to freeze ice packs (showstopper for me) and the lack of privacy on the non electric pitches - even if you put the tent entry to the rear of the pitch, you get campers gawping at you as they walk past. Close off the access - it doesn't exist on the other side of the site.

Site's response

Hi Thank you for your lovely review, we have been working every hard to improve our lovely little campsite, We do have plans to add a laundry room which will contain a freezer but at this time we cannot promise when this will be started or completed. We could have accommodated freezer packs in the freezer of the pub or cafe had we been asked but I'm afraid we had no idea this was needed, we do not suggest that there is freezer space on the site in anyway way, in fact it actually asks us when we do our on line listings if we provided this service and we selected no as it's just not possible at this current time while we continue to improve and grow our little site. As for the privacy of the non electric field I am afraid no matter what we do I cannot see we can make it any more private, people will walk around the site no matter what and closing off any access from the aviation centre field is just not possible as this gives all our guests a lovely short cut through to the aviation museum, there is just no real way within planning permission and consent to make every plot 100% private and even if we could come up with an option that would also mean a very very sharp increase in per night stay which is not something we want to do at all.
