 I thought I would write a positive review as most of the others do not paint this site in a good light.
I visited for the second time this weekend with 5 other adults and two children, we had one caravan and three tents. The field allows you to spread out a little as there are no 'set out' pitches which allows for a bit more flexibility. The site was clean. The facilities were also in good condition, hot showers, clean, always had loo roll in both the women's and men's. The washing up stations are not covered so this was a bit of a down point. The kids playground was also in good condition and the children had a lovely time playing.
There is a pub on the site selling very good food and drink, it does get busy so make sure to book in the summer. We ate here both nights and really enjoyed it.
Negatives: it is quite expensive £20 per night which I thought was too much (17. 50 without elec). Some of the staff in the pub were a little 'off' especially when busy. Not the place for you if you want a quiet weekend away, most people are up until midnight (including our party) so there is the potentiality for noise, especially as there did not appear to be any enforcements over the amount of noise people were making, so I reckon it could be annoying if a group of youngsters were up late.
In all a good site, very close to Grantham and Nottingham. Will definitely visit again.

The only praise I can give this site is that it was reasonably placed for the Grantham canal and Belvoir Castle.
Negatives. Equipment on the children's play area in a dreadful condition. Toilets and showers were not very clean.
Washing up facilities have absolutely no protection from the elements.
No signage to tell you where to put rubbish, fill up with water or dispose of chemical toilet, but plenty advising you that only food purchased from the premises could be consumed there.
The worse bit the price, £20 is over the top for what is basically a small paddock.

Went away this weekend for a break from work. Had been here a few years ago and remembered that it was good value for money. Well, not anymore. £20.00 per night! Had a meal in the pub first night and found it was overpriced and felt as though we were really pushed to eat a dessert as well! Enquired about getting a key for the toilets and shower block as they were locked and the response was 'can you not use the toilet in your caravan'! After a bit of pushing, we finally got given a large bunch of keys but they didn't know which key was for the ladies or the gents! We were also asked to drop the keys off before 10am the following morning because the cleaner would need them! With not being very impressed, we decided we didn't want to have to get up that early and decided to give the keys back. On a positive note, there is a good children's playground, lovely walks and the view of the castle is wonderful. Not impressed with the cost considering we weren't able to use the toilets as they were continuously locked! Didn't find the staff very friendly at all.

Visited this site in September 2010 with a group of friends.
Positive. Large flat pitches
Negatives. Dirty spider ridden toilets, grumpy landlord as we had our own bbq on the friday night and hadn't bought the over priced alcohol from the bar. Worst thing was the local lads who thought that once the pub shut they could converge in the carpark drinking out of cans and throw stones over the hedge.
We didn't have the children with us for this weekend but I wouldn't have been too keen on them using the playground and the equipment didn't look in the best of condition.

Just been back to this site after previous poor experience. Went with 2 other families with kids under 10 and the only down side was that they still charge for two pitches if you have two two man tents on one pitch but you could put an eight man tent up and it would be one pitch.
Best description for this site is chaotic fun half hour out of Nottingham. Play area is good, disused railway line and canal towpath are great for walking or cycling. Other campers relaxed and friendly. Will be going back soon.

Very disappointed in site after previous visits although they were not without problems (noise late and ball games). This time I appreciate it was a bank holiday but on arrival was told that I would have to pay £15/night for a pup tent (single occupant) along side our 2 berth tourer, even though when booking by phone we were told they would 'do a deal' when we got there.
During they second day whilst out shopping a second tent had been pitched halfway across our second pitch leaving less than the required safety distance and when the staff member came round checking the number of vacant spaces I pointed this fact out expecting some redress only to be told 'we are fully booked you know'.
Then to top it off Sunday when my wife went to use the showers there was broken glass all over the place from the smashed windows in the ladies (which now matched the gents). It also stated on a copy of the receipt no ball games on camping field but we had two games going on with children and parents.
I certainly will not be returning

Bit disappointed with our recent visit to this site, though have enjoyed it previously. There was a good deal of litter left lying around the site, which had clearly been there for some time. The main reason for our disappointment was they justified charging £15 for a pup tent alongside out motorhome for two 10 year olds by saying 'we don't charge for dogs or awnings like other sites' (only ever paid a pound or 2 for these 'extras' at other sites). I agree with other reviews that the food in the pub is overpriced.
Play area is good, facilities are fine, canal towpath nearby is great for cycling.
The nearby Chequers pub in Woolsthorpe has great food, and a bargain offer 6-7pm every day.

Having just got back from a wonderful 3 days camping on this site, the owner was friendly and helpful on arrival, toilets and showers very good and clean although the rubbish does collect a bit next to the bins.
The camp site is flat and had lots of room, the facility's were good. local shop although very small did have basics and was only 10 min walk from site, also village pub 10 min walk. Nice little village pub but food too expensive and its 6 miles to grantham that has a couple of major supermarkets.
The onsite pub gets lively at night, but had great nights in there, snooker for kids, juke box and t.v. but found meals a bit expensive.
Lots of walks to do, all in all site very good and would recommend it to families or couples and is great for kids. Definitely going back soon.

We have just returned from a weekend stay at this site. The location is lovely, close to the canal and excellent play facilities for the kids. My little boy spent every waking hour there.
The pitches were really level, ground was quite hard and mallet was a must for putting in the pegs. The pitches were very close together which we didnt mind as a group of 5 caravans and one tent we were all close together. I can imagine if the site was full it could get very cramped.
The pub onsite had everything you would expect, games room with pool table and games machine, restaurant area. We did have some dinner here and although the plate was full it did seem quite expensive for the quality.
The toilet block was old and looked very grubby, the ladies toilets hardly ever had any toilet roll and the gents were also the same. The showers were great if you could get there before 9am as after that there was no hot water left.
The staff are very friendly and kept us up to date with the farmers progress. The field next to the campsite was getting harvested. This did not really bother us at all.
All in all a good site we will return.

Had a great weekend here. Friendly staff, cheap, and no hidden costs for day tents etc. Great setting next to the canal. Well recommended.
But. The only gripe is the toilets. The blokes was pretty dirty all the time. It never seemed to be cleaned. And the showers were near scalding with no way of turning them down.
From what my wife told me, the womens were worse! one of the toilets was covered in you-know-what for over a day or so, and there were certain womens 'applicators' strewn about also. But the thing that seemed to bother her most, for some reason there was a boiler suit hung up on the wall which seemed to be covered in blood! most strange :-/
Its a little gold mine of a site really, and you would think with all the money it takes, it would be relatively cheap to get the toilets cleaned regularly. Will still go there again tho without a doubt. Excellent playground for the kids, plenty of hookups, and an excellent location.
