 We have stayed at this lovely site a few times. The check in and reception is always pleasant and whenever we have telephoned them they were always helpful. We were given a map to find our pitch and we found it easily. The last time we were there it rained quite heavily but because of the sandy ground the water quickly drained away and it didn't get muddy.
We have a nine year old boy and he loves this site the playground is great for him and he enjoys playing in the woods.
There are two toilet blocks and I prefer the older block but they are always clean. I have found that there sometimes isn't enough toilet roll but that can be said for most sites.
The Bar and restaurant are the real jewels on this site. The restaurant food is excellent. The Staff always go the extra mile. The restaurant Manager is brilliant and is always on the go making sure everything is just right.
There are functions most weekends and we have never found them to be a problem even if we are pitched right near to the restaurant.
This site is only and hour away from our home and we often go on a Friday and return on a Sunday evening.
I would recommend this site if you like walking and being outdoors in the countryside. If you like to be near to town it is a short trip into Grantham.
The garage opposite stocks most things you would need including maggots for fishing.

Arrived at Woodland Waters and found the receptionist very helpful. The pitch was well drained and flat. The hook-up and water were not too far away. Toilets and washing up area were ok but not regularly cleaned. Lovely walks around the lakes but not much else to do.
Fished three lakes for three days and caught nothing (no-one there did). Asked to disinfect nets but the tubs were dry and then rinse, but the rinsing water was filthy, green and smelt rancid. Needless to say I didn`t use them.
Play area was small but ok but piece missing on walkway where my 2 year old fell through. No shop on site but an excellent garage opposite. Site was quite noisy at night( both people and traffic) and
didn`t matter if in a tent or caravan, the noise could still be heard. Children were playing football round the caravans even though the rules state no ball games, neither parents or workmen told them to stop.
Woody`s bar was very nice and clean and friendly but menu was short on variety.
Not a cheap site but would go again but not in summer as wasp nests were everywhere.

Have just spent 2 nights at this lovely site. It was very busy but still had plenty of space. We camped in the Non-electric field, which is pitch where you like.
There are plenty of water stand pipes, the 2 toilet blocks were always clean, but did run out of loo roll.
The newer block had better showers with plenty of hot water, water pressure drops when all showers in use.
Site could be noisy as lots of family groups seem to meet up here, it did get quieter by 11. 30. There was a wedding going on but we didn't hear anything as wind was in the right direction!
It was lovely walking around all the fishing lakes and if you enjoy fishing it would be a great place to stay, you can even just visit for the day.
There is a bar and restaurant on site but we didn't use it so can't say what it is like. There is a small shop at the garage opposite site entrance.
We would go back again for weekend as its only 20 miles from home so easy to get to after work.

This campsite is situated in a beautiful area and has lots of potential, it's just such a shame that the owners hasn't realised this.
Positives - the fishing lakes are well stocked and the fish look well looked after.
- the bar menu is reasonably priced and the food is yummy!
- the play area is great!
- the site is flat so it is easy to pitch your tent up and also ground didn't have rocks so pegs went in easily.
- little village near by (Ancaster) which has a lovely butchers (best meat ever!) and also a good little shop.
- garage across the way from site has essential food.
- there are two towns near by (Grantham and Sleaford) I would visit Sleaford as its such a nicer place and has a Tesco! although Granthams okay for Asda/Sainsburys.
- Freeze ice packs for freee, although go collect them before 5pm or you wont get them until morning (and then there stil only half frozen)
- there is pool and darts in the pub which is good fun for when its raining!
Negatives
- Toilet block is miless away (not good in the night!)
- they only open the old block of toilets in the week (unless like when we went they got blocked so they had to open the new ones)
- toilets don't seem to be cleaned much (only saw it once cleaned in a week!)
- we asked to be close together (3 tents) and we were far apart!
- We too a gazebo as there are many wasps! I got stung 3 times in one week! also take bite cream.
- Bins were over flowing which didn't help the wasp situation.
- Do not buy fishing equipment from the garage as ours broke. There is a good fishing shop called daves peg in sleaford!
- Staff in reception was not helpful!
- Near a busy road so is loud at times and near train line.
Although there is a few negatives I would return again as it is in a lovely area and is great for fishing and seeing Lincolnshire! Just remember to take a gazebo (fully enclosed so wasps don't get in) and wasp bite cream

Stayed here over the weekend, so we could visit Belton House. Lovely campsite, with nice views and not too full when we visited. Showers and facilities good, helpful staff etc.
2 downsides though. The ground is covered in Goose Pooh, which makes it difficult to pitch your tent, and got on all the kids shoes etc.
There was also a wedding on each night we stayed, and we foolishly pitched next to the play area, which is next to the wedding suite. This meant there was loud music, and on the Saturday night, very loud and very drunk people, until very late at night (Past Midnight).
I'd recommend the site, but we warned about where you pitch!

Just stayed at Woodland Waters for the weekend for the first time. It looks lovely with the lakes and trees.
Dog walks are great but they have to stay on a lead.
No shop on site, garage over the road is great and stocks quite a bit, plus they even have an extra camping/fishing extra bit and hot pasties.
If you walk out of the site through main entrance and go down the path, left you can walk into Ancaster, they have a butchers and shop and pub further up the road.
Toilets was good and clean.
Downside! Very noisy. Friday night there was a disco which carried on to early morning and as you imagine in a tent this wasn't very good. This as a previous person has said got louder the later it got. Anyone is allowed to use the pub, etc off site, so they leave when entertainment has finished so these car noises are driving through site afterwards 1. 30am ish. Cars then start leaving at 4am ish I don't know what that's all about, but I suppose if you was in a caravan you wouldn't hear so much.
Saturday there was a wedding, so all those guests was at the site.
Next downside! selfish campers who don't take any notice to the keep the noise down after a certain time of night. They have their own private tent gatherings. I don't know if this goes on all the time, or it was a one off as we'd only been the once.
Midweek might have been better I guess, but we have to go at the weekend. All in all I wouldn't go again.
It would be great if the site had a breakfast service or just did bacon rolls as they have the facilities.
A great site for fishing.
Barriers are at entrance and exit, but they're up all the time. People come in the exit as no one takes any notice.
Up the road at Belton there is a really nice garden centre and cafe. Well worth a visit.

We found this site by accident, booked for one night and stayed for two but will most definitely return.
Whilst it is not the cheapest place to stay, the peace, tranquillity and beautiful outlook more than make up for it.
We did not try the restaurant, although it looked very appealing with a good menu. The shower block/toilets were clean, warm and user friendly. The washing up area was also user friendly with hot water and good size sinks.
Whilst no small children with us, the park area appeared to be appropriate for age and area away from road.
Good space between pitches and relatively level.
Thanks for a peaceful time.

This site is not far from us at all. We stay in one of the cabins in Feb 2011 - and it was perfect.
Whilst many of you were watching the Royal Wedding, we were in decathlon buying the Quechua Base Seconds 4.2. We went on our first trip out this weekend (13th May 2011), to Woodland Waters.
Fishing - Great
Toilets- Smashing (except the lights go on with movement sensors, and I was 'mid flow' when the light went out
Showers - did not use them, but they looked clean enough
Washing up - Good
Play park - okay - but a bit boring (9yr old speak), and a bit of the walkway was missing that my two say a little one could get stuck in.
Negatives -
Very few sheltered positions - wind blows through the site - take wind breaks
Sandy top layer to the soil, take strong tent pegs
Rooks - take ear plugs if you sleep lightly or have a habit of waking at 4.30 for the loo!
Was a little bit of road noise and train noise - but I think this depends upon the direction of the wind and was only noticeable because I was cold.
Good site - but personally, we were spoilt when we used the cabins! Also for this trip I allowed my husband to do the packing - so the overall experience was not as good as it might have been, and being so close - it was all too easy to give up and go home.
We may go back, as so close, but will be trying other sites in the neighbourhood first.

Spent 3 nights here at beginning of Easter school hols. Folding camper on lakeside pitch with EHU. Very quiet when we there. Lovely views and walks around lakes. Had meal in Lakeside restaurant. Nice food and reasonably priced. Toilet block was clean but a bit dated. Second block closed. Pitch still occupied when we arrived at 1:15. Office don't have signing in and out system so no way of knowing if pitch is empty. Would definitely visit again.

Just back from a wonderful stay at Woodland waters. We asked for a ehu Pitch, near to the non electric field as we like it over there because it seems more informal, quieter, and amazing views. We were given a perfect pitch with a lake view and it is really very beautiful. I heard that the site gets very busy but we were there before Easter but in the school holidays and it was busy but not in a bad way. The toilets and showers were very clean and always empty, although the showers are of the push button type and a little hot for a small child when you first push but cooled down after. Irritating but manageable. Lovely little park, far away enough to give the kids a sense of freedom but close enough to let them go on own.
Great fishing we caught a few in the small carp lake.
