No internet on site, but very good signal if you have your own.

Don’t necessarily to see anybody immediately – just park up and wait; the lady managing the site will come to see you

How much is it?Β Β Β Β Β 

We paid Β£15 per night including electric.

What’s the area like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

This is a lovely area.Β  We visited as we have family in the area (Caythorpe/Frieston – the next 2 villages along the road).Β  Fulbeck is very pretty, and (I know I’m biased) Caythorpe is pretty special too πŸ™‚Β  The other villages along the A607 towards Lincoln are also very pretty.

More detail:

 

We liked:-

The area

The walk around the lake

The green building on site, which looks dilapidated – it was actually the home of a single prisoner of war in WWII!

We didn’t like so much:-

The facilities could do with being cleaned more often

The access onto the field needs to be smoothed out a bit – you need to be careful, going on 1 wheel at a time!

We hated:-

Nothing

Moving On:

We headed to the Lincolnshire coast
