 Stayed on this site for past 4 years. Staff helpful and friendly. Facilities basic but very clean and cafe on site is excellent. Pitches well marked which is useful as we have a 28 foot tent and the pitches can accommodate this easily together with the trailer and car.
Very quiet and peaceful site with plenty to do for our 6 year old. She loves the playpark and feeding the ducks and squirrels. We are going again next year.

The site itself is well maintained with basic but clean facilities. The warden was very polite and helpful.
We booked in the campsite for 3 nights, however, noise within the campsite and the adjacent public path was too much to tolerate and we left the morning after. The non-electric pitch seemed a little penned in and are located adjacent to a high rise block of flats - not what you expect from a country park.

This is a small well maintained site with a small but very clean toilet and shower block. It only has two showers (free and very hot) but they seemed to serve the site well, I was never waiting for either. The grounds were lovely and well maintained and it was a pleasure to walk around the lakes. There is a cafe onsite that is very reasonable and the food, especially the breakfast's were excellent. The staff both in the cafe and wardens were very friendly and helpful.
10 mins walk is a chip shop that's open everyday except Sunday, just turn right from the main gates, they were very nice, its near the post office and co-op so supplies not a problem. We walked into Lincoln which took about 35 mins along the road (bike track and path) but buses run every 10 mins No 66.
The flats people mention you can see them but in my opinion are not really noticeable, just one thing the tent pegs only go in about two inches before you hit hard stuff. Had a lovely couple of nights though and we will be back.

Visited this site for the Waddington Air Show at the beginning of July and absolutely loved it. We have a 9 berth dome tent which fitted the pitch no problem at all. We had electric hook up which put us between the caravans instead of in the bottom field but that was no problem at all.
Had a good english breakfast at the on site cafe which was very good and not overpriced. Used the local chip shop which was about a 10 minute walk (only because of our kids). The toilet block and showers were great very clean and adeqate.
Have just enquired about booking again for next year.
My only moan if you can call it that was that the ground was extemely hard around the pitch so make sure you have plenty of decent tent pegs.

This was our first visit to this site and it won't be our last. Every thing was fine. Great pitch, lots of room, good facilities and flat. The cafe was well worth a breakfast visit but make sure you can eat well. The mega breakfast is enormouse. The all day breakfast was big enough for anyone. The wardens were friendly and polite. The country park lives up to it's reputation and you can just stroll about if you like getting lost on the many woodland paths that run through it. You really need to like dogs though because the place abounds with them. Seems like the whole of the neighbourhood bring their dogs for a walk here.
We are a long unit twin axle 28foot caravan and, whilst we had no problems getting in, we did getting out. We had to do a three point manouver to get round the bollards at the entrance to the camp site. If you have difficulty reversing and you are a long caravan, you should beware.
We will go back definitely.

Just returned from Hartsholme . . . And what a pleasant experience! The site is only 2 minutes from the main Lincoln ringroad and is well signposted. The other great benefit of this site it that it is inside the country park itself!
The pitches are well spaced with numbers either side of the pitch so you know exactly where to park(no guessing if you go to the left or right!). The warden is on duty at specific times but a plan of who is in what pitch stuck to the door of the office easily allows you to pull up, pitch and relax til the office is open and you can pay. Being run by the city council, they also give you a 24 hour number to call if you need assistance although highly unlikely.
A small site, with just 26 caravan/motorhome pitches and 14 tent pitches, it's a great getaway in middle england with all that Lincoln town centre has to offer just 2 miles down the road by a frequent bus service outside the park or by car. Not the cheapest, especially the £3.30 for an awning per night but certainly very nice, except for an ugly block of flats seen in the distance.
Granted the water pressure is a bit rubbish but we managed a shower both days with no problems at all - in fact better that 75% of other sites I have been to in the last couple of years!
We will definitely be returning to this site in the future.

Lovely place especially if you are into wildlife.
Very well kept gardens pitches and wash block.
Excellent cafe making fresh food on order, and very reasonably priced. Megga breakfast £4.40 and it was megga and hot and fresh.
Wardens very helpful.
Excellent walks.
Only downsides an ugly block of flats at the end of the campsite .So dont look that way.
SHOWERS! although recently tilled and painted and spotlessly clean if someone should flush the toilet you had to jump out the way or be covered in cold water. Hubby had one shower in 3 days because the water only ran long enough to get lathered down then in went off for good!
Would go back, please mr warden get the water pressure sorted.

This was 2nd time this year we have stayed at this site.
We find it to be very good.
We like the fact that its surrounded by lovely trees the facilities are OK,(not great,but OK)
Its handy for buses to Lincoln and there are some nice walks.
The site staff and the park rangers are very helpful.
The site could do with a bit more lighting.
We got late bus back from Lincoln and path from the road was horrible !
We will return

This was our 3rd visit to Hartsholme. We had great weather and really like the campsite. It is always neat and tidy and the wardens are very helpful too.
Quiet site set just on the outskirts of Lincoln city only about 5-10 mins in the car. Walking distance to a shop, post office and chippy!
The country park is really nice and peaceful and relaxing, visitors to the park were respectful too and noise kept to a minimum. We had a great walk around it and the kids loved the play area.
The only negative thing I have to say is the showers and toilets are very basic. Only 3 showers in the ladies and the weekend we went 1 had cold water only! All in all though we thought the site was cheap and good value for money.
Its open for the Lincoln Christmas Market too and we will certainly be taking our caravan for that!

Just came back from my first camping holiday at the age of 54 and I had a great time.
The site was set in a lovely position, quiet and sunny.
We had a power cut on night and I must say it was dealt with very quickly.
The staff are all very friendly and help full.
There are wonderful walks round the park and we will certainly be going back

Visited end of May Bank Holiday weekend. Paid £9.80 per pitch plus £2.60 for EHU (this appears to be the price regardless of whether it's a bank holiday or not).
Good Points:
Clean toilet & washing up facilities
Lovely location - in the grounds of a country park
Very sheltered
Close to Lincoln - about 10 mins drive
Cafe in country park (by campsite entrance) open from 9am to 7pm - reasonably priced food & ice creams
Bad points:
Ground VERY hard under thin layer of turf - make sure to take rock pegs!
Pitches too small for larger units (only just enough room for tent and car)
All in all, a nice little site, with some lovely flat walks in the country park, and lots of lakes for feeding the ducks! Not for you if you require a lot of space though.

I spent three days here, and throughly enjoyed it. The park got busy in the day as it is a tourist attraction, but the campsite was quiet even though there was a lot of people around. The childrens play area is well maintained, and there are plently of walks around the lakes. There was plenty of wildlife to see. The facilities (toilets,showers, and utility) were very clean. The camp rangers are friendly and helpful. The site was very well maintained, and lit up at night. It was also central to Lincoln city. I thought it was a little expensive, but I would definatly go back again.

I don't think we'll be going back to this one. The site was very cramped and there was nowhere for children to play except on a very small patch of green but it was far too close to other tents and parked cars.
Facilities were basic and could have been cleaner. It was certainly an overpriced site for what was available.
