Reviewer: Sanlougov 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site for a long weekend. We're still pretty new to camping so are breaking ourselves in gently!

The online booking system works well. I would have liked some written confirmation, but that is a personal preference.

The price was very cheap in my opinion. We paid £29. 50 per night for a large tent, 2 x extra people, an extra car and electric hook up.

The site is very easy to find and is well signposted. It's well away from the main road so it's fairly quiet.

Check in was quick and easy, the staff were busy but friendly and gave me all the information I needed. We were escorted to our pitch and advised where to pitch the tent.

There was plenty of room between us and our neighbours and our tent is 5. 5m wide and we had our 2 cars parked either side! To the front of us there was about a good 100ft of grass where the boys enjoyed some football.

The whole site is very clean and tidy. It's well kept and the grass cut regularly. The toilets were ok. They weren't gleaming, but they were adequately clean. The only issue I had with them were unsupervised children not flushing the toilets, but this isn't the fault of the site and certainly didn't spoil the stay in any way. For the first time since I started camping I never once had to use my own toilet roll, there was always plenty in there! The showers were also good and clean.

The bar was about on par for prices. We didn't drink there, not because we didn't want to, we just didn't get chance. I was a little disappointed with the shop. The 2 times I went in there they didn't have what I wanted in stock (Hayfever tablets and a bottle of water).

There is a hill by the lake which gives amazing views of the whole campsite and miles beyond! Well worth hiking up there! We also enjoyed a stroll around the lake.

There is a playground but the kids in our party were a little too old for it (12+). It did look very nice though.

The location of the site was perfect for us. 1 mile to Ingoldmells and 2 miles to Skegness and we walked to and from both. The shop at the end of Wall's Lane was well stocked and there is also a pub and a chip shop.

The site became full on our 2nd night so I would definitely recommend booking in advance if you are in a tourer or want electric.

All in all the site was great and we will be booking for a week next year. I would definitely recommend this site for all campers of all ages!

Reviewer: Hellena 3 reviews from this member

 I have just returned after a nine day stay at this park. I was camping in a tent with my family. I am going to be totally honest in this review, I hate complaining but I feel there are some things that are not acceptable in this camp. I have been camping for years and consider my self a seasoned camper. I booked this holiday after reading reviews on this site so I thought it would be an okay site to stay in. I am writing a full review, so here it is:

The plus marks of staying in this camp.

* the camp is easy to find and is within easy reach of the beach, you can walk to it in ten minutes.

* the site is well laid out, the sizes of the pitches are very large and not cramped, so this was ok.

* the shop is well kitted out, the bar in the evening was nice to go to.

* there is a bus stop right outside the camp so you can get to skegness and surrounding villages easily, for a small amount.

* butlins is over the road and a 15 minute walk from the camp. Great for a day out!

* the electric hook up was great and plenty of space for the cable

* the kids playground was nice and tidy with a good variety of slides and fun things to do.

The down side of this camp and why i do not recommend it until some changes are made.

* the entrance to the camp is dangerous, pedestrians have to walk on the road, there is no path to get in or leave the camp, cars come flying into the entrance of the site on a blind corner and you have to dodge traffic, it needs a path for safety. Also at night it is not lit up, so cars can not see you walking back into the site. Again dangerous. It needs looking at.

* on the camp there are two toilet and shower blocks. One is near the static caravans and one is near the camping fields. I have been camping for many many years and have never had such an awful experience as this.

The toilet block near the camping field is disgusting. I was not the only person to complain when we stayed there. To accommodate well over 40 to 50 tents mainly large tents, at a well educated guess, that have large families there are only 5 showers in each block. The first block near the camping area were fifthly, the second block near the caravans were only slightly better. People camping were walking over to the other side of the camp to use that block as the other one was so bad.

When I got there on day one, (after paying I will not make that mistake again) I noticed there was a dead wasp on the tiled shelf above the sink area, it was still there when we left after nine days. The tiles and walls and floors were absolutely never cleaned in all the time I was there. The showers were covered in mould and mildew, outdated and I dreaded using them. The showers were so mucky people were washing in there flip flops because of the slimy feel of the floor. The shower cubicles are small and there is nowhere to put you dry clothes to get dressed again. The toilet rolls were changed and always had some in, so the cleaners were in there but had not cleaned the block. If you pushed your finger along the tiles above the sink area you would have had a finger full of dirt on the end of it. They whole block smelled horrendous, and you can see discolouration on the walls where due to lack of ventilation in the building water runs down the walls and leaves yellow marks. There is no excuse for this level of unhygienic conditions. We have no choice of where to shower other than leave, i stayed because my children were on holiday and we made the best out of it as we could. Finding another camp in august would have been almost impossible and taking down the tent and moving everything as well so we stayed.

* the site has six sinks to wash up in, unfortunately there are no draining boards and no plugs on the sinks, people were having to use two sinks to wash up. The taps are a push type so you have to push to get water out and somehow wash your pots, impossible. You had to try to block the plug hole, some people were using tissue, then put your cleaned pots into the next sink and use it as a drainer, making you use two sinks. Therefore due to this there are only three sinks that can be used at any one time and the queues built up. There is also no bin near the block to dispose any waist from your plates, the bins are a field away from the sinks. This is a very large site and it is very under equipped in it's washing and shower facilities.

When you are camping you are already ruffing it as such, you are sleeping in a tent! The only luxury you can get is clean washing and showering facilities, I could have coped with them been outdated if they were clean, but the filth and dirt is down to the running of the camp.

I would not stay here again, I do not recommended it, the toilet, shower and washing facilities get 0/10 from me.

It is a shame because the rest of the site is very nice, but the smell from the toilet block was so bad it made you want to vomit upon entering, is not a pleasant holiday experience for anyone.

Reviewer: Sheelywheely 4 reviews from this member

 Had 5 days at this site in July, l would recommend this it is a well organised site with excellent facilities. The toilet/shower blocks are very good, always clean there is a notice inside so you can see when they have been cleaned, plenty of rubbish disposal bins. There is a well stocked shop on the site selling papers, milk, bread, sweets and toys and also drinks. There is a nice pub on site with entertainment and very good food at reasonable prices, a great outdoor play area for the kids while mum and dad can have a drink. Plenty of room for the children to ride their bikes and play games. The staff are always very helpful. We have been here several times it is always worth the 3 hour journey.

 This site is very friendly. When we arrived we were shown where to pitch the tent, which is very helpful!toilets/showers clean. Overall great site!shop on site a little expensive. , pub nice. Good location, very close to ingoldmells, in fact just 60p on bus!Skegness bit further. Just at end of site a couple of pubs, eating place. 10 mins walk to sea front, even though Skegness isn't our favourite place, this site is worth going to!

Reviewer: Andpiglet2 1 review from this member

 WE have stopped here twice now and both times have fully enjoyed it. The pitches are very large and you have plenty of room between each pitch. The shower blocks are very clean and always well stocked with toilet rolls. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The on site pub is very reasonably priced.

My father in law fishes there and never complains about it and looks forward to going.

Will be going back again

Reviewer: Chipstick2004 1 review from this member

 Have just returned from here after a spur of the moment decision to go camping. We rang the same morning and there was plenty of space. I cannot fault this park. Pitches are amble with plenty of electric hook up, the toilets are kept clean and the staff very friendly.

We didn't use the shop this time but have done previously. It's well stocked and prices are as expected on a campsite. The bar sells a good variety and again is priced as expected (£2. 80 a pint of lager).

It is reasonably priced at £17 per night plus £4 electricity. (though they forgot to charge us!)

My children love the play area which is enclosed with plenty of seating.

Will definitely be returning!

 Just got back from a wet but enjoyable weekend at this site. We arrived on the Wednesday afternoon, around 5:30. Where we were eventually greeted by a chirpy guy who showed us to our pitch. In a wide open field with no cover for the wind etc! We seem to think were were shoved back here away from the seasonal tourers and statics. We didn't mind because we had our own toilet and shower block.

We were told by the chap that took us to our pitch to pay tomorrow (Thursday). On Thursday after a walk around skegness we arrived back at the site around 3pm and went straight to pay. No one was around! So we carried on with our holiday.

The next day the males of the group went fishing for the day, witch was very enjoyable by the way. After this we walked over to reception to try and pay again. Stood at the reception desk was a short, bold headed man with glasses on. He was the most rude and abrupt site worker I have met in years. He started to have a go at us because we didn't pay on the day of arrival, Had no costumer service skills and couldn't add up basic numbers. He really ruined our day!

The site itself is very large and in parts is very open to the wind. Dosnt make taking the tent down very easy at all. There is only one park for the children situated in the grounds of the pub witch was a good 5-10 mins walk from where we were.

Over all the site is ok for a day or two. Its very over priced at £23 a night for this time of year. It needs more parks for the kids maybe near to the shower and toilet blocks.

 Just got back from a bank holiday weekend at this site, after ringing around everywhere this was the only site with spaces. Upon arrival went to reception and booked in we were then taken to our field and first impressions were good, nice flat field trees around for shelter. Pitched up and had a look around there was a water sports wake board lake, a fishing lake and plenty of open space for our lad to ride his bike and play ball.

The beach was 10 mins away and a group of pubs near the beach

Ingoldmels was a 20 min walk to the left of the site and a great day out with plenty to do

If you went to the right out of the site about 3 miles you were in the centre of skegness which was clean but very busy.

Back on the site we found the club a little small for the amount of holiday makers, but staff were friendly, beer was cheap and if you went to pubs nearby it was about £2. 20 average for a pint of bitter which I consider cheap.

The shop had all you needed and also cheap, also there were a few stalls outside selling camping equipment very cheap

My only moan was the toilets not the cleanest you had to go early morn to get a clean cubicle I suppose there were a lot of campers for the toilet blocks also showers very hot, made my lad yelp a bit

I would use this site again as the space they allow around the tent was massive and it is in a central location also cheap compared to other campsites I have been on

 Got back last week from a 7 night stay, and loved it. The site itself is massive, there are more than enough room between the pitches, which are kept brilliantly, mowed all the time and are nice and flat.

We were situated right behind the air field and my little one who is 18 months loved watching the little planes take off and land. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around and play football and my 3 year old made lots of new friends.

The toilet blocks were close, and clean. They are a bit basic, and there is no where really to hang your clothes, bag etc, so I would advise a waterproof bag for your toiletries.

The water refil is hard work as like the showers and washing up sinks are run by a button which you have to constantly re press.

The washing up area is basic, and although sheltered is outside. Remember to bring or buy a plg for the sink. They are not provided.

The facilities are good, there is a little camp shop, with the basics, lollies, sweets, mags, milk etc. And a coffee shop and bar and restaurants. The food is brill and reasonably prices. Adjacent to this is a kids playground, which was always in use and was well maintained and in lovely condition.

Overall, out stay there was great. I would happily go back. The kids loved it as did we and there is plenty to do for everyone!

Ohhh, and if you have small kids, there is a bathroom on site with a bath, you need to ask at reception for a key.

Reviewer: Straycat753 3 reviews from this member

 Spent four nights here last week. On arrival we were escorted to our pitch which was near the airfield. We pitched the tent on the nice large EHU pitch and went for a look round. The site is massive but with plenty going on, kite flying is a must.

The toilets and showers are basic but adequate, although the showers could do with a shelf or extra hooks to keep your clothes dry, take minimum stuff with you as there is nowhere to put it.

The only thing that spoilt our stay were a lot of thoughtless campers who think its acceptable to swear every other word whilst walking past the tent. We have an eight year old and he learnt some new words that weekend. People should realise that their conversations are not private on a tent field.

The pot washing area was always left in an appalling state, bacon rind etc just left in the sink.

However none of the above is the fault of the site. We had a great time in Ingoldmells and Skegness, even saw the lifeboat launch (very impressive). At night we walked to the lookout pub on the beach, very reasonable priced food.

We would go back again to this site, but take some earplugs for the little one.

Reviewer: Evilgothictwin 3 reviews from this member

 Me and my partner wanted a last minute get away to Skegness. I found this campsite and rang for details. I was told they had plenty of space and we didn't need to book so we just turned up.

When we got there we were checked in very quickly and shown to our plot. It was near the toilet blocks which is the perfect location for me. We pitched up and decided to chill out for a bit and went on the little train on the site (being the big kids we are).

It is well worth the money for a get away for a few minutes for the kids at only £1 per person. We then went over to Ingoldmells beach and had fun pushing each other in the sea. On return to the campsite we wanted a BBQ but didn't have a stand for our disposal BBQ so my other half went to ask security for bricks. They said they didn't have any but we could just have the BBQ on the grass.

The next day we spent the day in Skegness then went back to the site where it started thundering and raining. We made a quick break for the pub on site where the staff were really friendly and for a campsite it was very reasonably priced. We then had another BBQ and another storm hit so we went for a drive. When we returned to site we went to the lake and fed the ducks which was good fun.

We went to the coffee shop for breakfast both mornings we were there but did find this was over priced. The site shop was a great price. We got a jar of coffee, sweeteners, bottle of wine and some other essentials for £12.

On our last day we wanted to take a look at a mobile home on the site so we asked at reception and they took us down and showed us around it.

The staff were extremely friendly even charging our phones for us for a small donation to the life boats. Even the toilet blocks on site were really clean which surprised me for such a big site. It was a fantastic stay and we are looking forward to going back very soon

 We wanted to stay somewhere fairly close to Skegness & spent a long time trying to find a good site when we came across this one. We booked at online, very easy to do & arrived hoping we had made the right choice. We have two children aged 5 & 7, we were a bit wary about the amount of water.

Found the site easily, its about half between Skegness & Ingoldmells and about 10 mins walk to the nearest beach.

Check in was quick & efficent, we were then told to wait to be shown to our pitch. The followed the guy & he showed us 2 or 3 areas where we could pitch. We opted for a pitch near the airfield (don't worry, there's only 3 or 4 light aircraft comings & going's each day).

The site is massive & even though it was the start of the kids summer holidays & the weather forecast was brilliant, we didn't feel crowded as there is just so much room. Toilets were clean & showers good (abit too hot & the kids couldn't reach the button!). Plenty of space for the kids to kick the ball around. We went to the on site pub, the food was good & reasonably priced. On site shop was small but had what you needed. Childrens play park was well enclosed.

In short if you want a good base to explore Skegness & the surrounding area but don't want a in your face park with loads of entertainment - this is ideal.

The cons:-

1) showers slightly too hot for kids

2) The site can get very windy, not much shelter

3) Smokers using the children's playground as a smoking area

4) Fishing lake & water ski lake - you need to be aware with your children.

5) Inconsiderate behaviour of other campers (not the sites fault) - see comment at the end of this review

The pro's

1) Lots of space

2) Good if you are going with other families as there is so much space to pitch together

3) All pitches on the level

4) Good security - nightly rounds

5) Good pub & play park.

 Our first camping trip ever (Family of 4) and I have to say it was brilliant. We are looking forward to returning this year

Toilet and shower area were clean and tidy, as was the washing area.

Small children's play park near the Public House. Well stocked shop.

Few minutes car journey from fantasy island and skegness is not too far

Tried to chip shop down the road for food - wouldn't recommend!

Reviewer: Jayc001 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed here during half term in June.

Originally enquired about a EHU pitch a few weeks before but was told they were all taken. Fair enough, I'll go with a non hook up. On arrival I was told I could have a EHU as there had been quite a few cancellations due to the weather.

Was shown to the pitch and we got set up. Wasn't shown where the water, elsan point, toilets etc were which would have been nice.

Site is great. I went for the cable ski as I wakeboard. Fishing lake looked good, play area for the kids was good. The bar and restaurant have good food and reasonable prices.

The site is really big with separate areas for statics, tourers and tents.

We went to butlins across the road one day. This is £30 for a family pass to use the pool, funfair, entertainment etc and was good value.

Got the caravan stuck on departure day as it was very wet. Asked for a tow in reception and a couple of mins later the site landrover pulled the van to the road for me.

Will be visiting again.

 We returned today from a 2 night stay in our tent.

The site was very well suited to our needs - with 3 children aged 4, 6, 6, there was plenty of space and room for them to play.

On arrival, in torrential rain, the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We were shown personally to our pitch, which was thoughtfully near to the toilet and shower block, on account of the children always needing the loo at the most inopportune moment!

The facilities were very clean and tidy at all times of the day and night and there was plenty of hot water.

We made good use of the laundry - well the tumble driers anyway - as a result of the weather and they were very reasonable - £1 for about 20 minutes.

The location was fab and we enjoyed a family day at Butlins - which was within walking distance of the site.

All in all a Fab weekend away - we are planning our next visit already!
