 Just returned from 1 night at Hartsholme CP, initially we went to see the poppy display in Lincoln but thought we would make a night of it. Read some of the previous reviews but my worries were unfounded.
Upon arrival we were greeted by the warden who was bubbly and friendly, she provided details about the park including bus and taxi information. We were allocated pitch 16 which was large enough for our needs, yes there is a block of flats that overlooks the site but we had no problems from the occupants or noise.
It felt like we were in the country rather than the city centre, the toilet and shower blocks were clean and adequate and we would definitely return to take advantage of the walks around the park and the lakes.
For info the 66 bus into Lincoln was £2. 20 each one way, the taxi was £4. 50 one way and £7. 50 after 10:00 pm.

We stayed at this site over the BH weekend in August, myself, partner and 10yo daughter. When we booked we were told it was the Lincoln Steampunk festival that weekend but still went. The festival as an eye opener but did not impact at all on our weekend.
The site is in a nice spot located on the edge of Hartsholme Country park. The site is overlooked by a tower block but we didn't get any noise at all. We were on a pitch backing onto the park but heard very little in the way of intrusive noise from park users. The facilities were ok - we used the shower in the MH more than we would normally but my partner used the shower block and it was fine. We all commented on it being a bit odd having to 'leave' the site to use the facilities but not so much so that we'd not go again.
Lincoln is a lovely city and add to this a few thousand incredibly ornately dressed steampunks and it was a fabulous weekend. We visited Doddington Hall framshop and café - strongly recommended. We also visited the Pheasant Brewery, again strongly recommended if you like a decent ale!
Sunday we spent down by the water in Lincoln and went on a steamboat cruise - very informative. Afterwards we went to the Jolly Brewer for a couple and had the pleasure of an open mike afternoon - very chilled pub and my daughter loved it!
Definitely recommend Lincoln and the site is reasonable if not stellar.

We love this little campsite the location is brilliant nice and peaceful but close to Lincoln. It is very secure with key code on a locked gate. It is ideal for those that want to have a bit of variation, shopping site seeking and peace and quiet.
We got the local bus from just around the corner £4. 00 return into Lincoln, the bus runs until eleven o'clock at night. The campsite is very well kept. The toilet block with showers and washing up, facilities are clean and heated, with a key code. There are only ten tent pitches. The tent pitches are fairly small compared to others we have been to so if you have a larger tent it is worth mentioning when you book as they will put you on the caravan part. The park itself has a lovely very reasonable cafe for those not wanting to mess about doing their own cooking.
The park has a nature reserve with some lovely walks, there is a play area for the children and lots of space for them to run around in. The only negative for the tent area is they need a tap nearer. Please note take rock pegs for your tent as the ground is very very hard and it is almost impossible to get your normal pegs in. We will definitely be visiting this campsite again soon.

Terrific site, A bit odd to be overlooked by a tower block but wasn't an issue, Ground a bit on the stony side so be patient putting your pegs in. Site really well kept, shower/toilets kept warm and clean. Staff really helpful and friendly. Plenty of wildlife for the kids to see, we were visited by a couple of ducks each day and they seem to like cornflakes and some water. Nice park for the kids to play on.
Good walks around the park. Handy for Lincoln castle and cathedral, 10-15 minutes by car. Dairymade farm just inside Skellingthorpe is a good couple of hours out with younger children.

We intended to stay 2 nights over Easter but decided on 1 due to the weather. I phoned in advance to check that would be ok. Felt like I was receiving a lecture on it should be a minimum of 3 nights and we wouldn't get any money back! That wasn't the purpose of my call and nor was 3 nights discussed when we'd booked it 2weeks earlier. On arrival I'm assuming because we'd not arrived the day before as originally planned the only pitch left was at the bottom of the site. It was like a bog! Pegs difficult to get in as half was down seemed like concrete. Couldn't have been any further away from the facilities! They were however clean and in excellent condition. I visted the shower after dark to be met by a police car continually patrolling the lane. As we were next to the alley continual noise from passers by swearing shouting and discussion of drug use during that day! Boom boom music from the flats and at approx 3am only what I can describe as loud bin emptying possibly from the hostel next door. Our experience is in no way reflective of the park itself which is lovely and s fab place to visit during the day.

What a lovely site. Booked last minute, very friendly service which continued when we arrived. We were given a choice of pitch but decided as it was our first visit to stick with the allocated one. (Pitch 9 gets sun in the afternoon). The toilets and free showers were warm and immaculate as was the rest of the site. Some lovely walks around the lakes, a short trip into Lincoln and easy access. Will definitely be back.

We have stayed here many times. Every year the price goes up, yet the facilities stay the same. Paying £3 a night for an awning seems one way of getting extra money off everybody - but how about improving the facilities? It's not pleasant having to actually leave the site to use the showers/loo - if it's daytime, you always get a walker trying to nip in - if it's evening, & dark, it is actually scary. The lane at the side of the site (to walk to the shops) is also scary - I had a youth on his bike follow me at a snails pace when I came back with fish & chips from the nearby chippie - very intimidating. The pitches are large, a slice could be trimmed off each pitch, & facilities built withing the campsite that don't smell damp. The rangers are lovely & approachable, although one was a little on the high & mighty side. Doubt if we'll come back - if you don't look forward to going somewhere, it's just not worth going.

Excellent location close to the city centre and adjacent to a well kept country park. The facilities are kept clean to a good standard and the staff very friendly and helpful. The pitch spacing between adjacent units is good. The cost for our motorhome including electricity was £16 which we considered fair. We didn't suffer from noise or encounter any problematic people from the nearby flats as reported in an earlier review.
The area close by is served by a good selection of both on and off road cycle paths and a bus service is served via the adjacent bus stop.
As we stayed for 3 week nights we did think that the toilet facilities might struggle to cater for a full site over a weekend.
Recommended.

We stayed at this campsite for 5 nights on the strength of the good reviews here, and we weren't disappointed. The wardens, as others have said, were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The site is a 'little gem' - so handy for the city of Lincoln and for exploring the area, yet peaceful and secluded. The facilities were a little old but spotless - one of the few draught-free showers I've had this year! Thoughtful touches such as little shelves in the shower cubicles to put your things on make all the difference.
You can only use gas BBQs here but this didn't matter to us as we cycled to the Vintage Inn to the south of the park each night - lovely food and friendly staff here too. The park cafe breakfasts were yummy too.

Stayed here several times and there are signs of deterioration and lack of attention. Toilets and showers were not up to the usual standards of cleaning.
The flood light covering the campsite entrance was useless as it was covered by ivy leaving it easy to walk into the bollards, the ivy was cut back when it was pointed out. Lighting on the campsite is minimal and in the second half non existent
The recycling facility has been removed - strange for a council run site.
The road/path from the main road to the campsite is not lit so after dark it is a challenge - we were threatened and chased when walking down here and had demands for money and phones which needed the police to attend.
In general it is a nice site and a good location, but more could be done for security and peace of mind. As others have said - hard ground and a nearby block of flats.
Will we go again, yes, but after dark when going out to town etc, a taxi to/from the campsite gate not the main road) is the safest way.

This is a very useful campsite for visiting Lincoln, but it can fill up, I should have phoned about availability first.
It is quite a compact site surrounded by trees so not very sunny, but pleasant. As it is in an urban area it is better to keep hold of valuables and lock bikes, sensible precautions almost anywhere. The warden was welcoming and very helpful, providing information on alternative campsites from UKCampsite.co.uk, and a cycling map of Lincoln. There is quite a good network of cycle paths in Lincoln and the city centre is within 10-15 mins by bike, and there are also buses. The toilets and showers were clean and good. There is a Co-Op shop open long hours and a chip shop close by, also a pub. The cost of staying with a lightweight tent was reasonable
I would use this campsite again

This site has the potential to be superb.
Unfortunately two things will hold it back. The very very dated facilities with the unpleasant odour and the close location of the tower block.
Having said that we had a very good 4 night stay, we stayed for 5 nights but the drunken eastern europeans staying in tents and throwing up by the entrance spoilt the last night.
The tower block only made its presence known on one morning, 02. 00 am, with the usual brainless boom-boom-boom music but it didn't last too long.
The park is superb and the facility to easily walk to shops, a chip shop (and not a bad one at that) and the access to the city of Lincoln are a bonus.
The site could do with one of the clubs getting their hands on it as the council have split responsibilities so it is a half hearted affair.
There is a cafe in the park and it was busy at all times. We didn't use it but it must be OK given the numbers using it. The car park for Hartsholme country park was full every day.
We marked the Customer service very low as we saw nobody after checking in.
Having said all that I was really impressed by the location and the park and would return.

Sorry we have been a bit late to reply family matters prevent it, but I must complement the site and all the staff. We were visiting friends of ours in skelingthorpe who had been poorly and we had a most enjoyable stay. The loos were spotless. The camping area was flat and comfortable. The park on a whole is excellent. Looking forward to our next visit. Well recommended. 10 out of 10. Many thanks for a great stay. Be back soon. Regards pam and del. All your staff very obliging

Visited the Waddington Air show this weekend, and this campsite was only a few miles away and even closer to Lincoln which is a very beautiful town.
Set in a country park the campsite is picturesque and bordered by trees giving privacy and shelter from the wind. We have a young family and the site was certainly family friendly. We also enjoyed a beautiful walk around the park and lakes.
The only few drawbacks to mention are: -
1. The toilets are a few minutes’ walk away from the tent pitches.
2. No freezers available to refreeze ice blocks for a for cool box.
3. The biggest drawback is that a high rise block of flats towers over the campsite and in particular the tent pitches. On the Saturday night of our visit a residents made it their mission to keep the campsite awake by blasting out music, shouting and swearing until 3am on Sunday morning.
I would definitely visit this use this site again if it wasn't for the high rise block. But as it is I would probably look for a different site next time to make sure we get a reasonable night’s sleep.
