Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Marleymoo 8 reviews from this member

 We love this site! It is just a few miles down the road for us but it does feel like a million miles away from home.

It's great for just relaxing. The shower and toilet facilities are some of the best I have seen on a campsite. The bar is nice and we have used the takeaway service, which is fine.

We don't do fishing, but there are a number of lakes on the site and it makes a pleasant walk around the site and into Ancaster village.

Only draw-back is that there is never many, if any, electric pitchs available other than to the regular pitch holders and the children's play area could be updated. 


Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Janx 118 reviews from this member

 This is a large site with lakes for fishing and lots of woodland walks. There is a main field and a rally field with a mix of caravans and tents, (from here the facilities are quite a trek. It was bank holiday when we were there but we didn't experience any of the noise late at night or early morning which is mentioned in other reviews quite surprising as the site was so full. There were a few groups of people socialising later on at night but nothing rowdy.
 
 The toilets and showers were clean but very crowded and had long queues for morning showers, they could have done with more.
 There are some nice walks and it is easy to walk through the woods and across footpaths to the village where there is a shop and I think three pubs, though there is a pub on site with an area for families. The food served was excellent and at very reasonable prices.
 
  Nearby there is the Bubble car museum, o.h and some friends went and spent a good two hours there (not just bubble cars).
 There is also go karting and paint balling at Ancaster and Belton house is worth a visit. Grantham is a short drive away where there are all the larger shops with a market on Saturday.
 
  I was disappointed that the dogs on leads rule was not kept by several people who thought for some reason it didn't apply to them.
  The same applied to the ball games only in designated areas, resulting in games of cricket and other ball games amongst the caravans and tents. The warden came round several times and ignored it.
  These two reasons would put me off going to the site again. 


Date of Visit: October 2006 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: STEVEGL 1 review from this member

 We had a good weekend at this site. It was quite busy though so some there was some noise at closing time. The trick is to avoid potentially busy weekends. The facilities were good and the food at the restaurant was excellent and we are planning to return as it is open all year round and not far away for us. 


Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Sunburnden 9 reviews from this member

 Been to woodland waters for a couple of weekends and enjoyed it, clean toilets and showers,needs to have a shop on site, easy to get into Grantham and Sleaford, lovely walks around the lake and good fishing according to my son and husband. Only down side is the noise from the bar if there is a special occasion but we asked for a pitch further down the site. Staff very friendly. 


Date of Visit: November 2005 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Junegem 5 reviews from this member

 We have visited 'Woodies' as the girls call it several times.  It is quite local for us, so we can get there quickly, to get away from it all.  We also know what to expect when we go there. 
 
If we go in the winter months, which we often do, as it is open all year, it is nice and quiet and we have only ourselves to please. 
 
If we go at a Bank Holiday or busy period then there can be issues about the noise from the marquee and other residents.  This is also when, the normally clean and perfectly fine, toilets and showers suffer a bit. 
 
So my tip for this one is be selective when you go.

Date of Visit: June 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Sidloz 3 reviews from this member

 Our second time at Woodland Waters and as last time we thoroughly enjoyed it. With three hard to please youngsters ages 13 and twins of 11 we were worried about them getting bored but because of the amount of space here we can always find something to do. Even just a stroll around the lakes keeps them happy.

It was very busy but we were warned about this when we booked in and at peak times the toilets and showers struggle to cope. They really could do with another block, even if they only open this at peak times. However having said this the toilets were always clean. At least the gents were, the good lady did say the ladies was a bit messy with a lack of toilet paper in the evenings and some cubicles had no locks. Another thing the site could do with is a shop. The weekend we were there saw over 100 units on site. A shop would make a mint, and be great for everyone even if they only stocked milk papers and coffee. One poor gent had forgotten his barbie coal and was going from tent to caravan asking if anyone had any spare.

But where Woodland Waters really lets itself down is late night noise. I could not believe the inconsideration from some people. There was a family that thought it was clever for there children to have a screaming contest at 11.30pm. The parents were as bad cackling into the early hours revealing to the whole campsite the intimate details of previous relationships. Ugh! And the owners of Woodys Bar (the on site bar restaurant) should certainly take more control over the antics of paytrons leaving at almost 2 in the morning, complete with spinning tyres and foul language.

All in all Woodland Waters is a nice place and we will visit again, but it could be soooooooo much better.

 We had a very pleasant visit to this site. it was very quiet and the staff were very friendly and help-full. The downside to this site is the toilet facilities, there is only one shower block consisting of four toilets and three showers. There is a small hairdryer in the block but you need tokens from office to use it. We definitely would visit again.

Reviewer: P+j howarth 13 reviews from this member

 We had four nights stay at Woodland Waters. Tried getting some food at 9.30 pm and was told that they had finished cooking. But they was still bringing food out half an hour later. Then realised that it had been ordered forty minuites before. The site was very noisy till the early hours. We went into Ancaster and had a very nice meal on the Saturday evening - cannot remember the name of the pub but you turn left at the lights in Ancaster it is the first one on the left hand side. Fully recommend it. Might go back to Woodland waters in the winter months when its less busy

 I really enjoyed it at Woodland Waters. The toilets and showers were really clean and the pub food was nothing to complain about. There was a kids park which was great for kids all ages.

 May 2004
Just got back from a long weekend at Woodland Waters, found the site to be very clean and tidy with good size pitches. Did find to be quite noisy at night when it came to kicking out time at the bar, most of the noise was from caravan owners who had seasonal pitches, they seemed to have the opinion that they had the right to do as they liked because they were there all the time.
Will use the site again because of the excellent fishing lakes but now I have a map of the site will try and book a different pitch.
