Does anyone know if the Butlins site at Skegness takes tents? We would love to hear from anyone who knows if they do and particularly if you have stayed there. What are the pitches like, the shower facilities etc.

Many Thanks

We've stayed in a static caravan at Butlins Skegness once but don't recall seeing any tents there.

However there are tons of campsites nearby.

We are already booked into Skegness Water Leisure Park, but we though if Butlins did accept tents, we would change our plans and go there instead as there would be more to keep the kids occupied.

Does anyone know if Butlins allow people in through the day/evening on a day pass and if so how much would one cost?

heres their day visitor information

you have to be out for 6 though so get there is early as possible and dont forget your swimwear and towels coz the pool is fantastic.

i'v been there in the static caravans and there have been one or 2 tents but they dont really have facilities ie like washing areas and hook ups ect. but there are a number of sites just down the road that do.

We are due back at skeggie this june

Happy holidays.

As far as the "out by six" rule.  During the mid afternoon, move your car to the public car park at the end of Butlins opposite to the day visitor car park(near the Beachcomber pub).  Then return into Butlins via the beach gate shwoign your day visitor ticket.  Stay as long as you want and at 9, 10 or whenever just leave by the main gate and walk up to the public car park to your car.

Hi Mike,

thanks for that. It definitely works tho does it? We will be staying in the campsite opposite so won`t have to move a car anyway.

OK, If you want to go into Butlins.  Walk down to the day vistitor entrance, pay to get in.  Leave by the front entrance any time.  Think they say six coz thats the time they lock the day visitor gate (a sign in side says "if leaving after six please use main entrance and enter car park from road").  Friends met us twice last week and didnt leave until 9.30-10 both days.  There are a limit number of acticities that you may not be able to do after 6 (eg:snooker) but pool is closed anyway and we werent asked for any tickets/passess/keys for the club at all during the entire week.
