 What a little gem of a site. Have been meaning to go this site for years, never got around to it. We were NOT disappointed.
There are 34 pitches with 1 camping pod. Male and female toilets and showers(key code access) all pitches nicely spaced, surrounded by trees and parkland.
The access to the site is via the main car park just off the main road. My only groan would be the gate to the site which is a padlock and a chain. As this is a council run site I would have expected access to be a little better and a better means of access. This wasn't a great problem for a few days but I guess it could be a bit of a chore if you were staying longer.
No wifi - but mobile signals were more than adequate - 3 and EE were fine
The site has the usual, water point and grey waste and elsan points located near the site entrance, along with bins.
It doesn't feel like your in a city centre at all apart from the odd siren or two in the distance. The park itself is very nice indeed, with plenty of walks for the dog around lakes. Lots of wildlife to see including the most friendly squirrels I have ever seen.
There is easy access to Lincoln itself. There is a bus stop just outside the park gates. ( Parking in lincoln can be expensive. ) for the brave - it could be walked. Lincoln boasts lots to see, do and eat. There is an array of supermarkets within a few minutes drive - sainsbury's and morrisons. A little further afield is asda. Fish Chips locally too as are other fast food outlets.
There is a small cafe on the park site itself, which was busy whilst we stayed due to lots of other events which were happening during our time there.
The wardens were very pleasant and helpful from the moment of booking until our departure.
This is definitely one to visit again and again. What could be improved - Wifi, Barriers to the site entrance and lastly an easy way to get out of the car park- exiting the car park with a caravan on the back by going through the designated exit route is practically impossible and I think at busier times this is the main let down to the site.

We booked on this site for the Lincoln Christmas market. Arrived at lunchtime to find the warden office closed. A kind local man told us he had gone for his lunch. We didn't have to wait long around 10-15 minutes before the warden came back. The wardens are extremely helpful telling you everything you need to know. Shops supermarkets food where to eat bus stops timetables etc.
The pitches are mostly grass with a gate at the entrance that is kept closed with a big thick chain and padlock on it. The pitches are of a good size and it was always lovely and quite especially at night.
The campsite is next to a country park but we did not visit. There is a couple of pubs for food about 30 mins walk away and a fish and chip shop and supermarket about 10 minutes walk away. The amenity block is dated but clean and warm. Only 3 toilets and 2 showers in the ladies serving 34 ish pitches but I never queued. This site closes for the winter but opens just for the Christmas Market. Would I visit again yes we would.

This is my second time in this Site. I was here for the same purpose as before, and I shall be coming as long as my 93 year old friend is around, which I hope it will be for long time.
Still enjoying my stay, this time I even found the local shop down the road. Very handy.

Revisited Hartsholme this summer for probably the 7th or 8th time. Had another lovely relaxed time. There was a large gathering with 4 big tents there to celebrate a birthday and what a lovely bunch they were! They all took time out to chat with me and make sure they weren't too loud - they were in fact quite the opposite. They quietened everything down very early at night - very considerate.
The site was as always - it isn't big and it doesn't have lots of facilities, but it works. The location is excellent and the staff cannot be faulted! Lincoln is a beautiful city and there is plenty to do without having to travel too far. Looking forward to returning next season!

Excellent campsite set within the country park. Very helpful warden. Facilities (toilets/showers) are kept very clean. There is also a cafe at the country park, handy if you don't want to make breakfast.
Bus stop a short distance away to enable travel to the centre of Lincoln which is 2 - 3 miles so easily walked. There are shops a short distance from the campsite (Coop, Fish bar and another convenience shop).
A walk through the park (25 minutes) takes you to a nearby public house Swan Holme. A good selection of drinks and food.
I would recommend this site very highly and will be visiting again.

Just returned home following a brilliant 3 day stay at this site. This is the best site we have ever stayed at, due to where it is situated, and the standard of the facilities provided. Also, it is excellent value for money at £19. 50 a night.
The walking available within yards of the camping fields is stunning, as is the wildlife. Although there was just my wife and me and the dog, we were able to appreciate what a great site Hartsholme is for families. Loads for the kids to do, especially if they have bikes, and all in a safe and secure setting.
There are shops very close by, and a decent pub about half an hour's walk away. Lincoln is easily accessible by bus from nearby, and having travelled into the city this way I wouldn't recommend it, unless you're a bus anorak! 40 minutes for 3. 5 miles made me wish that we'd gone in our vehicle, and £4pp return wasn't cheap either.
The only downside I can think of for the site was that they only allow gas bbq's. I suppose this is because they've had scorched grass in the past, so in a way I can't blame them, but it's disappointing when you've taken all the stuff to have one.
Just over an hour from us means that we'll be back again soon!

Really impressed with this small campsite in amongst a beautiful country park.
Staff very helpful although difficult to get reply’s in the closed season.
Basic but Clean pass coded toilet shower block. Average size plots.
Good play areas and things for kids to do with the park and lovely cafe.
Perfect for walks around the country park and for access to Lincoln.
The surrounding housing estate is not the best but had absolutely no issues while we stayed.
Would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone looking for a park in Lincoln.

Lovely site with friendly wardens. Like an earlier reviewer, we were given the wrong pitch initially (double-booked) but easily sorted out.
Park is fantastic with a good cafe, and there are shops etc close by. Bus or taxi into Lincoln very convenient (bus stop just round the corner).
Toilet facilities a bit outdated and could be bigger. There are more toilets just a few yards away in the park, but more showers would be good.
If you're a parkrunner, Boultham parkrun is a nice little jog down the road (about a mile). Great site for a spot of parkrun tourism!

Stayed here as easy access to Lincoln by bus from round the corner (£3. 60 return). Set in a country park with lots of wildlife and good walks. Coop supermarket and chip shop just along the main road.
A grassed site, all with EHU with 2 tiny hard standings that would only take a small transit sized van. Not particularly well kept- grass needed cutting badly and although the toilet block was clean it was very outdated and not big enough for the site.
No facilities for the disabled even though a pitch was labelled as such or baby facilities. We arrived to find someone else's stuff on our pitch and were told that they had left them behind-in fact they had double booked the pitch but luckily we managed to sort it out between us.
They beauty of this site is in its proximity to Lincoln and we will return- hopefully the council will take on board suggestions made as this could be a cracking site with some investment.

Stay for a few days while visiting my friend at her retiring home up the road. The campsite was perfectly located.
Easy to find, and easy to access, quiet and protected. I am on my own and felt very safe. I will stay again.

Stayed here for a few days. The wardens were always very helpful and it is a nice site, but I feel the council need to update the toilet/shower block. With only 2 showers for each sex, these are simply not enough as the site has 37 pitches.
It is a quiet site and handy for Lincoln centre but its location on a really busy road, not helped by the fact that there is a level crossing to cross so this road can take a long time to drive down.
Laptops and phone do pick up a wifi signal but this requires a password. When I asked a warden about the wifi and password I was told there is no wifi available at the site. I was a little confused.

Nice clean well kept site with friendly helpful staff. The nature reserve and country park are great. More for motor homes than tents though we were the only tenters there.
A spa is a walk away and a sainsburys a short drive in the same direction. If getting ataxi to town DO NOT USE handsome cabs they charge twice as much. Use direct cars 567567 they only charged 4. 50 and that was after midnight. Handsome charges 8. 20 before 9pm!

Wonderful park - our dogs love it there. Lots of safe walks around the site. When the cafe is open they do takeaways if asked - all staff very friendly.
Yes, the showers are basic, but better than none, and are kept spotless.

Gorgeous little campsite, staff were very helpful. Fully booked when we arrived on Easter Sunday but most left on Monday and it was lovely and quiet, we had plot 29 tooked into a corner it was fab, nice big pitches and well kept grass.
Site is spotless, toilets/showers are basic but very clean. The country park itself is beautiful, lots of wildlife and walks around the lakes. We only had two nights so just enjoyed the park but Lincoln is easily accessible.
There's shops just around the corner for food etc. We noticed everything goes quiet at 4 when the public leave the park area, this was the best time for us.
We went out walking again and into the kids play area it felt as if we'd been locked in, lovely time of the day. Ended up playing football in the field at twilight, hardly anyone about. If anyone is a keen runner, take your trainers as its a Lovell route for a jog. There's a lovely cafe in the park, I'm told their food is great but we just used it for ice creams.
Just a further note, we missed the entrance, the satnav sent us passed it, we expected the entrance to the campsite to be separate to the park, but you drive through the general car park and the entrance to campsite is in the park itself.
Also I noticed a few comments about the block of flats that overlook the site, we couldn't see them on plot 29, they're no bother at all and are a handy beacon if like us you've no sense of direction when walking around the park grounds.
Will definitely book again.

Visited this site during the school holiday for two nights. Although it was pretty much full on the first night, it didn't feel crowded and wasn't noisy.
Staff were helpful and pleasant and the facilities were clean and tidy. The park is lovely and was ideal for dog walking and running. Families with children will love it.
The bus stop is a five minute walk around the corner with buses running into the City centre every ten minutes (£4 day rider ticket).
We'd certainly return
