Trains and more trains
The Railway Inn
Firstly we must agree with the numerous favourable comments about the pub and the delightful staff. The beer is excellent too. Also, it’s a great location for visiting Lincoln city and the nearby excellent nature reserve. The CL is located right next to a busy railway line and this can be both entertaining and incredibly irritating by equal measure. The trains can be every 5 to 10 minutes for most of the day and start at 05:45 each morning; finishing at about 23:30. We did have a freight train on our first night at 3am which was no fun especially given that our pitch was 10 metres from the line. I would recommend avoiding pitch number 1 as this is right on the boundary with the track. I estimate most trains to be travelling at 70-80mph so it is very noisy and therefore the CL is far from peaceful. We did ask on arrival if we could have pitch 4 or 5 but we’re declined despite 5 remaining unoccupied throughout our 4 night stay. I think future visitors should be made aware of the train situation beforehand as the reference made in the details does somewhat play it down.
Excellent friendly site
The Railway Inn
Stayed here in early March during the winter snows !!. The site has a very clean heated single shower toilet block. Whilst by a railway line, the trains are actually quite and did not disturb me at all. The staff in the Railway Inn were very welcoming, and proud of their pub. I stayed 2 nights midweek and the pub was busy. The food was excellent, including some local produce such as Lincolnshire sausages from a local butcher.
I primarily visited the area being a keen aviation enthusiast. The Red Arrows are now based at RAF Wadding a few miles away, and there is the excellent International Bomber Command Centre. This is a memorial to those lives lost serving for Bomber Command.
Right on the door step to the site is the large Whisby Nature Reserve, lakes and woodland walks. Included at the reserve is The Natural World Centre.
Very easy to get into Lincoln by road through some lovely countryside. It was suggested to me that a short drive to the nearby Hykeham railway station, and take a train is best way to visit to save on parking fees.

Fantastic site and pub/restaurant
The Railway Inn
We have had a wonderful holiday at The Railway inn. The food at the pub is amazing (proper home cooked chips, which is very rare these days), the staff are lovely as are the owners who make you feel at home, they go above and beyond to please you. Plenty of walks for the dog, including the lake by the site. Very nice and clean facilities. Very spacious pitches. Secure gate so no need to worry about security. We visited Newark castle, and Lincoln castle and cathedral. We saw the Magna Carta too. We enjoyed it so much, we will be back again and again. It is so nice to find such a lovely place to stay. If I could give it a higher score I would do.
Great reak
The Railway Inn
The CL had recently changed hands on our visit in August 2021. The new owners could not do enough to make us welcome. The site is behind a great village pub with good reasonably priced food and friendly locals. I would recommend anyone seeking a quite break to look seriously at visiting here,
Not what we expected.
The Railway Inn
We booked for one night and when we arrived that morning the inn was closed so we called the number and spoke to a lady but she couldn’t help us or give us any information. Only carvery was available on Sunday lunchtime/afternoon and no food available in the evening. We were charged £15 for the night but the website states £8 and does not mention the additional £7! We were unable to locate the recycling facilities, the metal gate to the field was difficult to open and close and the broken lock sat on top of it! On the plus side we were told there was a lake behind the site by another camper, and the trains make it interesting. We would not recommend this site due to lack of communication and the overpriced fee.
