 Golden sands is an amazing site, it was very friendly and inviting. The grounds was well sorted out due to the weather, the static caravan I was in was a standard van. Standard was the word, there was only 1 heater in the sitting room, none in the bedrooms, we had to ask for more bed linen as there wasn't none in the van.
The site is very close to town and town is a nice look around. We found a very nice and well priced pub
The Montalt Arms.

Just returned back here today after a 3 night stay that was meant to be a 4 night stay, we camped on a basic non electric pitch and we got what we paid for!
Good points - the staff were very helpful and you can charge your phones, iPads whatever and freeze your ice blocks free of charge at the camp reception.
Unfortunately there are far more bad points. The campsite itself is really far away from any of the entertainment and every time we wanted to do anything we had to drive down there. The beach is also far away, that involved a little drive then a 10 minute walk. We visited the swimming pool and they let way too many people in it was overcrowded and noisy and we had to queue for both lockers then a changing room when we came out (this probably wouldn't be a problem in term time breaks) id read somewhere the mini golf was free. Not the case and a big bug bare was the fair rides we went in major peak season and they operate at around £1. 50 to £2 a ride and quite often with only 1 or 2 children on per ride when they could hold 20 plus why wouldn't they include this within the fun works passes? Security was also an issue as we drove on and off site many times without question.
We didn't bother with any evening entertainment as it was too far from the campsite and by then we fancied a few drinks and couldn't drive. Maybe some kind of transport every hour or so would have encouraged us to go? Our holiday was cut short by (I'm told a freak but I don't know?) plague of little midges literally trillions of them on everything and they were small enough to slip though the mosquito net
On the plus side this break was all about the kids and they enjoyed it but I doubt we would return as there are better more contained sites out there

Just had a good 7 night stay at Golden sands, Nice level pitch with washrooms that are being cleaned all of the time(I liked the ones near the Tourers office best).
Special mention for Richard(warden) was very helpful and worked long hours.
Nice walk into Maplethorpe(all flat). Lots of clearance stores in town. Very nice beach.
We had trips out to Lincoln and Skegness. Free wifi at the restaurant on the main site.

Just returned early from a booked three nights on Golden sands. An early season shakedown, cut one night short by personal reasons. To say I was amazed by the site and facilities is an understatement. The three nights cost £27. 30, this was for a fully serviced hard standing of about 9;square metres with awning, dog and entertainment passes. The staff on this site are truly courteous, friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
The toilet facilities are clean, warm and compare favourably with any we have previously visited. It is a massive site dominated by static caravans, but the touring areas are clean and well maintained. I could imagine issues regarding the areas cutting up in wet weather (due to it being grass with concrete pad hard standings. )
Mablethorpe itself has a rundown feel to it, but the beaches are great and on the north side dog friendly all year. The same three nights next week on the c. And c. C. Site costs over £60 for a pitch with ehu and the probability of not being able to put up my awning due to the 6m. Rule.
At this time of year, with long dark nights the sites entertainment area is a real bonus. I appreciate that not everyone sees this as a positive, but to me the option of a clubhouse with live entertainment was appreciated. Undoubtedly this site will be noisier at weekends and school holidays, but midweek and early/late season it ticks all the boxes.
Walking round the touring area we saw numerous play areas, two fishing lakes, a small convenience store, two well appointed toilet blocks. At the main entrance is the entertainment complex with fast food stores, and a larger convenience store. It is obvious that Haven are spending a lot of money developing the area and this coupled with the superb staff should guarantee them well deserved success. I have been a tad wary of booking Haven sites due to the mixed reviews on this site but based on this visit I will not hesitate in future.

We arrived at the site during severe weather. The touring staffs were battling with tents, assisting the poor people who were being flooded or blown away. They apologised for the short wait we had to book in understandable at the time. They directed us to the touring field to our “super pitch”. This is were it started to look bad. The pitch was booked but we were informed we could have any pitch we liked. The pitches were a slab of concrete with a pool of mud next to it for the awnings. All the available pitches were in the same condition. Hardly a “super pitch”. During our stay numerous bags of gravel were delivered and this was used to try and patch some of the pitches. A valiant effort by touring staff. But too little too late. I felt the touring area was poor on both fields and touring holiday makers were treated as a substandard guest. The toilet facilities were supposed to be entry by key code but were wedged open and the door closers were broken off. People walking past could see anyone using the urinals. This according to my wife and daughters were the same condition with the ladies facilities. This lead to the inevitable children misusing the facilities unsupervised. The showers were poor and often ran cold. The sinks for washing up cooking utensils had no plugs. Not what was expected from brochure descriptions?
The touring staff were polite and friendly but had a thankless task given what they had to work with.
The entertainment area on the ground floor was horrendous it smelt like the carpet was rotting and something had died, your feet stuck to it. (I found myself wiping my feet on the way out!)
This detracted from the hard working entertainment staff. My children also complained the volume of the speakers was excessive.
The indoor pool area had been recently upgraded and was clean and bright. My only criticism was it was not big enough for the size of the site and did get crowded. The outside pool was clean and heated. Overall it gave the impression that the site was run down and had little investment in it. We were also subjected to hard sell by static caravan sales reps.
There is a SPAR shop on the complex that did appear to be a little expensive for what they sold. This was not a problem if you were prepared to travel a short distance to Mablethorpe and had the choice of CO-OP or LIDL. This was about a 15 minute walk or you could catch the Land train from outside the complex entrance.
The beach was a short distance from the site across a road and also had the Seal sanctuary which is worth a visit. The beach was clean and sandy it also has the sand train which is the beach version of the land train that followed a parallel route into Mablethorpe.

Great site, very close to a nice beach, and a lovely walk into the town of Mablethorpe. Loads to do, plenty to see and the kids will have a ball. The attractions on the seafront are good value for money as well.
The little train that goes between mablethorpe and the sea lion centre is fun for the kids and there is also one on the beach.
Onsite, a papa johns pizza is an absolute must.
All in all, well worth a visit.

This was probably the worst campsite I've ever visited. It was a swamp more then a certified campsite. Motorhomes were getting stuck and our tent was in a pool of water. We were camped next to the kids play ground and that was flooded too. This campsite was for people to take out extra money to move into a static caravan. Not returning to a haven again.

Holiday on this site in April, for 5 nights, stayed on the hardstanding as last year stayed in field but the ground is so unlevel, the showers/toilet blocks are unreal for 2 days of our stay couldn, t use them till after 10am due to there being a problem with the pumps, the site had the same problem in 2013 but haven't felt it needed to be rectified, playground for the children I very sparse, and the 2 caravan/camping fields are still very unlevel.

we have stayed at this site several times using a folding camper, 4, 6 and 10 man tents (at different times). The site is always clean and tidy and is flat and stone free. Shower and toilet blocks are clean and functional although it would be nice not to have to press the shower button every 17 seconds. Its in a good location and has been made much better since the link road to the main camp was put in. It has all the usual haven entertainment facilities although we only really use the swimming pool and arcade. Food and drink in the complex is way over priced (standard at all havens). Across the road is a nice sandy beach which is great on a hot day, also the seal sanctuary which is worth a visit. The ferry boat inn is also across the road and has entertainment and a small arcade for the kids. Its worth making the effort to walk rather than drive into mablethorpe especially if you go up the dunes path. Plenty of 'seaside shops' and arcades, ice cream etc in town. Good places to eat and drink include the beck pub on the front, montault arms in town and the louth hotel (cup of tea 60p). The ability to book online is a big attraction to us especially with discount codes online. Best we managed was £12. 60 for 3 nts in may. Overall a good traditional seaside holiday. Just try to break out of the haven camp and sample the local amenities

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights had a great time, Touring manager was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with as first time motorhomers she directed us to out pitch which was hardstanding and explained everything to us. The toilet block was very clean and well stocked and very near to the pitch also an essentials shop but we didn't use it but good if you ran out of something. It was a ten minute walk to the entertainment centre and restaurant but not a problem for us. We ate in the restaurant both nights and a good choice menu and excellent food at a reasonable price although it could work out expensive for a family. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and we wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Been to Haven sites on many occasions and always found them very good. The camping area here is different. The camping manager(s) let you camp were you like he could not care less. So we had a great big pitch which was flat although a bit lumpy. I should imagine if it rained a lot this would be very muddy. The shower block is well equipped and cleaned regally but the press button only lasts a couple of seconds and people had put cable ties on them so you could make them run without pressing. Ingenious! The walk to the facilities takes fifteen minutes; no I don’t run, then another five minutes to get to the entrance. All facilities have one entrance. To get out from the restaurant is a five minute walk to get to within ten feet of where you were sitting. OK that’s enough moaning. The faculties are good, indoor heated pool, with lifeguards, fun slides for younger ones and teenagers. Small area of rides for young kids. Lovely beach ten minutes away and a visit to the seal sanctuary, across the road is worthwhile. This is a Haven tried and tested model but they should spend some money on the ground and instil campsite staff with a bit of pride in their job. Maybe the former will encourage the later.

This site was ok for what we had paid ( staying there was on offer) but I would have felt hard done by if I'd have paid the going rate.
The site access to our part of the field was poor. Some very deep pot holes. But it looked better in other areas.
The main facilities that you get with a haven site were good. (don't recommend the on site chip shop) some of the worst chips I've ever had.
Showers and toilets were always clean but the buttons press for a shower gave barley any time! It became infuriating. I don't see why they needed to install buttons that give hot water for just a few seconds. Changing that would make the showers a 100% better.
Overall I had a nice stay but it was off peak. I can imagine the summer holidays give a different feel to the site.

Great touring site and at good prices when kids are back at school as they really hyke the price in the holidays. As a touring base its very good. Good carvery pub at the end of the road same for the ferry boat pub at the other end. Really friendly staff to assist you in parking your outfit. Small shop in the touring reception. And a spar shop down in main complex. Good walks round the back of the site on the old railway track. Very handy. For letting your mutt off the lead. Just one thing it does get a bit muddy when it rains. But no probs as there is tractors to get you off site. Carry on camping, , that's the name of the game. Enjoy your selves

First time my family have stayed at a Haven site with our Tent. The touring park is furthest away from the entertainment park, anybody with a disability was having to drive to the entertainment. We were not probably shown to our pitch and was just pointed to the area by a gentleman. The approach to the pitch was full of pot holes causing many drivers to approach in to someone's pitch to avoid the potholes. The grass had not been looked after and needed a good cut. The facilities on the touring site were all there although the temperature of the water was hit and miss, leaving me washing dishes in lukewarm water. After 8 at night you needed to take your own toilet roll as their would be none left. The men's toilet was just a trough witch apparently kept flooding. My children loved the facilities on the campsite but I was disappointed that although you had entertainment passes you were expected to pay for the rides the only thing free was the swimming pool which was good for my youngest but boring for my eldest. We did not go to the evening entertainment after seeing the price of alcohol we opted to enjoy the company of friends at the campsite. Although I like Haven I don't think I will use a touring pitch again.

Stayed in Haven sites before but only in statics, but when we visited this site we were in our tourer.
Never again will I go to a Haven site, in my own opinion you are treated like a second class citizen, you firstly have to drive a great distance to a field, we were greeted by a lad who said he would find us a nice pitch, he couldn't of put us in a worst spot in the middle of a field exposed to the north sea elements in what looked like had been a battle field.
I even asked him if I could up grade to a hard standing pitch but was told their was none even though half a dozen lay empty that night an please bear in mind this is the weekend that most of England was getting 5ft snowdrifts.
The toilet facilities were clean but cold as -3 winds were blowing through windows which you could not shut so going for a hot shower was out the question and every time you went to the toilet block you could not avoid the mud and this in turn is then going in your van.
As for the waste disposal point is was covered in excrement which to me was the final straw as the next morning I hitched the van up and found a far better and cleaner site down the road and as for a future booking it was cancelled on what was a very sorry full experience, I'm sure in the height of summer the site may be a lot better but the service and standards for a touring caravan I believe you still will be classed as 2nd class customers in my opinion. So in the future no I will not return to this site.
