[Paul Henderson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118274415827091793011/reviews) ★★★★★

Unbeatable value for money if you ask me. We've just had a relaxing two night stay at this lovely little site and loved every minute of it. Granted, the toilet and shower facilities ain't state of art, but they're clean, the showers are hot, and there's none of that - pressing the shower button every 20 seconds - nonsense! The campsite is within the grounds of the beautiful Hartsholme Country Park, which has endless trails through the acres and acres of woodland and lakes. There's a cafe in the park just a few yards from the campsite. Although we never used the cafe, it did seem very popular. There is a bus stop about a 5 minute walk from the site with buses every 15 minutes to Lincoln city centre. However, on our second day, as the weather was so lovely, we decided to walk into the city centre and back. It's around a 50 minute walk each way on flat terrain. There is also a dedicated cycle route from Hartsholme Country Park into the city centre. Already thinking about our next stay here!

Stayed here for two nights. Warden was very friendly and helpful. First night we just walked round the lakes in the park. Second day we got the bus into Lincoln. Bus stop about 5 minutes from campsite. Toilets /shower are basic, but kept spotlessly clean and very warm. Great site to chill out or for visiting Lincoln. Highly recommended we will definetely return. :)
