 We (My husband, 3 yr old son, my dad and his wife) just got back from a long weekend at Woodland waters near Grantham and had a lovely time.
The weather was very 50/50 and when it was sunny it was lovely but when it rained, it really rained, the local shop flooded as did the tent next to us, but have to say any standing water in the camping field very quickly drained away and no tents were damaged.
A few negatives, the kids play area is very basic and not suitable for children under 5. As well as being out dated it was behind the bar/restaurant which meant not being able to enjoy the facilities while watching the children or one member of the party being on their own with the kids while the others are around the other side of the building, it a pretty anti-social set up.
The bathrooms and showers were very adequate. They were not the best we had been too and they were by no means the worst, having 2 blocks per sex was nice and the newer block certainly seemed cleaner and better stocked than the older one but it was a shame it was closed on Monday because the older block had not been cleaned or replenished meaning no paper or soap since about 5pm the previous night!
The showers were ridiculously hot, I mean scolding. Children and old people could not go near them, my son had to be flannel washed all weekend, not ideal on a muddy camping field, us adults tried to shower but it was more a splashing of water near the running shower head, I only washed my hair once and it hurt
Also being near a number of very beautiful very picturesque lakes does bring its down fall, lots of geese and more particularly lots of geese poo! Not much the camp site can do about that, but just be aware of it if you have crawling children!
On the positive. The location was stunning. Very very beautiful, the owners should be commended on how lovely they have the whole site set up now and the walks around the lake watching the fish jump and the birds and all the wildlife was just so relaxing.
Although I complained about the condition and temperature of the toilets/showers I can’t fault how many there were, not once did I have to wait. The approach and the attitude of the owners was so laid back, it was lovely to be able to go to a camp site where I wasn’t filed in regimented line into a narrow pitch squashed in with countless others.
Although it’s not strictly pitch where you like, they are fine about you spreading out a bit, particularly if your in a group, if you want to make you group of pitches into one big setting that’s fine.
Also no toilet passes – I loved this, some camp sites are getting so paranoid about this now a days. There is nothing worse than traipsing across muddy fields in the middle of the night only to realise you’ve forgotten the pass. The toilets were not trashed or in anyway vandalised by not having passes, it was fine.
The bar and restaurant was fantastic, the food was gorgeous and plentiful and the beer was lovely. There is a reasonably priced bar snack menu which was more than suitable and an a la carte restaurant which is pricier but the food is lovely – there was a wedding on here so it must be pretty good if people are happy to hold the best day of their lives here
the bar was very modern and clean and a real credit to the site. There was no shop on site but there is a premier opposite the site entrance which seemed to stock everything we needed.
All in all we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the flash floods and would definitely go again.

This is our first and last visit here!
The setting is beautiful and lots of fishing !
But if you want to fish you have to be a registered pro !
The weddings unfortunately take priority!
The food is expensive rushed and just awful!
The noise from the pub is louder than I have ever heard and I mean LOUD and goes on till the early hours ALL weekend :(
Seriously it has so much potential but is severely lacking
I won't be returning or recommending this place
It would be helpful if reception staff were smiley and accommodating
Also some information regarding places of interest and local eateries would be advantageous
We have visited numerous sites in the midlands and this is a big let down

We have stayed before and this is one of the best looking sites we have ever stayed at. The pub is great and the playground is great for over 5s.
The shower blocks are however a real let down from previous years. They ran out of toilet paper every weekend, users did not mop out showers despite bucket and mop provided, we complained twice to wardens but were told that one of the cleaners was on holiday hence the problem! Peak season, only one block open and the site full. Also as one reviewer has also said the showers were far too hot neither myself nor my son could get under them and we had to use the shower in the van which is fine but it is not what you are paying for! Great site but shower block would Prevent me from returning.
Furthermore the site is not regulated at night, once the pub is closed the does not appear to be anyone on site. We were kept awake every weekend by loud music people screaming and shouting and running around at 2 in the morning then to be greeted by vomit in the toilet blocks as a result of the big party. This occurred both weekends that we stayed so is not a one off occurrence.
Whilst I love the relaxed approach of the site far friendlier than the usual caravan club sites we stay at, this was clearly unacceptable.

A very picturesque site, had a nice pitch on grass overlooking the lake, there is a very nice walk or cycle round the lake to enjoy the abundant wildlife there.
This site is very popular and quickly filled up Fri night, although the toilets/showers coped admirably the toilet paper ran out Sun morning!
It must be remembered that the on site bar/restaurant/fishing lakes are open to the public as heard some slight traffic noise during the night, think it may have been early morning fishermen.
Didn't use the restaurant but the bar is very pleasant and does inexpensive bar meals as well as a couple of real ales to wash it down with.
There is an infrequent bus service to either Grantham or Sleaford during the day that stops in the layby at the end of the lane far end of the campsite.
The village of Ancaster can be walked to in about 20 mins using the public footpath around the lakes. There are two pubs in the village both do food and have a couple of real ales on with The Railway having a take-away Chinese also. Paid just under £20/night for two with ehu.

Lovely area, very nice site. Facilities good; toilet/shower block clean and heated. Pitches a good size. Excellent bar and restaurant on-site. Bar meals good, restaurant prices a bit steep. We had only two minor complaints; the previous occupants of the pitch (or was it the workmen working nearby?) had been prolific smokers of roll-ups and our pitch was covered in cigarette ends. And we couldn't get any TV signal whatsoever (and on inspection, the site blurb makes no mention of TV reception). Oh and there was a wedding on with loud music until quite late - but we didn't actually mind the music. Would certainly consider visiting again.

Stayed here over the May Bank Holiday for three nights.
Site booking and arrival was very good. The site itself is set in lovely woodland and lakes and is very pretty.
We stayed on their 'electric' rally field which overlooks the lake, that is until the pitches fill up in front of you then the lake is masked by the back of caravans. The rally field is uneven in places, we had to use wood blocks to level our unit.
There are a few site rules such as no washing lines, no ball games near vans etc, but these were all broken whilst we were there, I don't think they enforce these rules.
Toilet blocks, pot washing facilities etc all as expected.
One major downfall is the cost of an awning per night, currently at £4.50 per night. We have a small lightweight awning and was still charged. It was also a couple of quid for our Westie.
So all in all this was a very expensive site, for a basic grass pitch on a rally field.

Booked for 1 night but weather and site were so good decided to stay an extra night. Booked by phone and pleasant efficient booking process.
Site was selected as I fish and managed to try 4 of the 5 lakes. Caught in all of them except the Specimen where you will need time and patience. For any anglers reading this review 4 or 6mm pellet worked best with carp, bream and roach all happy to take them. If you fish the small roach lake paste was the only bait the carp would touch.
Didn't eat in the restaurant but the did have a couple of pints sitting outside in some very nice evening sunshine. If you fancy a meal off site suggest you try the Stag at nearby Barkston.
Shower block clean, heated and plenty of hot water, overall a great site we will revisit.

We arranged a family camping trip and spent a pleasant bank holiday weekend here. Staff were helpful. Toilet and shower blocks were clean with plenty of hot water. There is a children's play area for younger children. There are nice walks around the lakes. We did not eat in the restaurant this time but have done so previously and found it was value for money. There is a small shop just over the road which sells essentials, Asda is 8 miles away. We have visited the site on numerous occasions and will be going back later this year.

Our first outing in our new motorhome.
We chose Woodland Waters because it is near to where we live.
In addition, the site is a pleasure to visit with full amenities for all.
Good shower blocks and toilets and pitches for electric or non electric.
On site there is Woodys bar serving up a fine array of meals and the restaurant was first class.
Be warned they do have a function room for weddings, parties etc so pitch further away if you want a bit of peace and quiet.
The area is very tranquil woth wooded walks and 5 fishing lakes.
Would visit again even though it is so close

We arrived at the site at lunchtime and we were given a very warm welcome and directed to our pitch. Although it wasn't level it didn't take long to rectify the 'lean' and we were soon settled in on this lovely site with a view of the larger lake in front of our 'van. The water tap was 20 feet away and the toilets and showers quite close by.
Woody's bar and restaurant is an excellent place just to enjoy a drink or indeed to have a really nice evening meal in nice surroundings.
There is a walk around the lake and the site has a playground for children and a small area for ball games.
All in all we look forward to visiting this site again in the future. It was good value for £17. 50 per night and well worth a visit. Grantham is only 15 minutes away by car and the beautiful county of Lincolnshire is all around it.
The access to the site is excellent and the surrounding roads are all good.
