About The Red Lion
Situated next to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is a great location for exploring all that this beautiful county has to offer. Located in the grounds of a charming pub, you can also enjoy a tasty dinner with a short walk back to your pitch. Tents, trailer tents, caravans, campervans, RVs and motorhomes are all welcome on the site's 14 non electric grass pitches. Each of the pitches measures 9m x 6m and there are also an extra eight with a 16 amp electric hook up, though a 15m lead is recommended. Six hardstanding deluxe pitches are also available for caravans, campervans and motorhomes. The pitches measure 9m x 6m and come with a 16 amp electric and water hook up, along with having a grassed area. There are also static caravans available to hire on site. The owners here love their site and are passionate about the local area and its rich history. Their RAF pub displays a rich history including a table engraved with the names of troops from the air base during WWII. BBQ's and campfires in fire pits are allowed, just as long as they are raised from the ground. Dogs are welcome too, with up to two allowed per pitch.
The Red Lion is open all year round in 2024 and 2025.

Loads of space, but slightly uneven ground, so had to pick my pitch carefully. Nice soft earth to peg out in, but my chair sank as I sat in it as a result. Need some blocks or bricks available to raise stoves off the ground and stop grass damage (and to stop my chair sinking). A bit noisy from the road and airplanes during the day, but not too bad. Comfortable and lovely birdsong in the morning. Not expensive and had all the right features.

A very nice campsite, just what we were looking for. I would recommend as it's reasonably priced, shame about the weather, but there was nice pub food. Very happy customer and will be back 👍
