 Arrived about 15 minutes before our check in time of 12 o'clock but the warden didn't mind and was very helpful and showed us to our pitch. The ground was a little uneven but that's not really a problem in a tent, although one or two of the caravan around had wonky awnings!
The site had 2 toilet/shower blocks, both of which could benefit from being revamped, the 24 hr block was nicer than the one next to the reception. The showers were warm when I used them but the washing up water does take a long time to come through hot.
All in all quite a good site for what we paid but I do think it has been forgotten by haven, it is supposed to be part of golden sands but the main site is a 15 minute walk, ok not that far but when your 6 yr old wants to do lots of different things it means a lot of planning or a lot of walking backwards and forwards.It could also benefit from a play area for the children.

Stayed on this site for two nights with our 2 young children. We had stayed here a couple of years ago in a tent so we already knew that the touring & tent area was separate from the main complex which is what we prefer.
We had a an electric pitch which was OK but the ground was quite rough and a few pot holes could be found. We were just across the road from the toilet / shower block (near the lake)which was convenient. The toilets weren't particularly clean and there was no toilet paper to be found first thing in the morning so make sure you take your own. We felt that the block was dated and needed a thorough bottoming and not just dolloping some cleaning fluid in the loo. None of us couldn't face using the showers so we showered in the main complex swimming pool area.
The bar/restaurant was fine but again felt like it needed a thorough clean. The carpets were sticky and everywhere smelt grubby. The food was fine tough and the atmosphere pleasant.
We only paid £35 in total for 2 nights for a family of 4 including fun passes so didn't feel it necessary to make a fuss but if we'd paid around £50+ then we wouldn't have been happy.
The beach is lovely and only a 10 min walk and def worth a visit.
All in all we had a good time but we were glad we had our own facilities in our caravan.

Me, my partner and two boys visited this site at the end of may this year, it cost us just 9 pounds on the internet to stop for two nights camping in our 6 berth tent. We did ask when we got there how much it would be for an extra night but it was going to be £30 a night which we didn't want to pay.
This is a nice Haven site. It had a large camping field which is situated at the back of the static caravans. The field was nearly empty so we could have our pick at any pitch.
There is a fishing lake with lots of trees and very large bushes which kept you protected from the wind. The were no playgrounds near us but the kids thought it was fantastic as they could build dens and run in and out of the woodlands, it gave them a bit of freedom under the watchful eye of us parents.
Showers/toilets were at the side of reception which was only a stones throw away. They were basic but they did what they were supposed to do,There was also a separate side for washing up and drinking water.
Other facilities and the entertainment was quite a walk away on the site next door (a few minutes ride in the car) we got our haven entertainment passes free which was a bonus. There were no shops near us, I think they had one on the main haven site but we went into Mablethorpe centre and shopped at the CO-OP.
There is a pub just a few minutes down the road which serves nice caverys, even the kids wolfed down the dinner which is a good thing for my picky lot.

We went here with our 2 year old daughter and loved the site. The touring staff were really helpful even helping us first timers put our tent up even though it was pouring down. Cant comment on showers as we used the ones in the swimming pool instead to shower. Toilet block was adequate but the touring site was quiet when we were there. Choice of basic or electric pitches and the staff showed you to your pitch giving advice on which pitch was best as it was very wet. Pool was clean and decent size. Evening entertainment is great for kids but you will need to get table early. Large complex with good outdoor and indoor play area.There is supermarket on site with good choice of products as well as pub style eating place and fish and chips shop. 10 min walk to the complex from camping area but you can take short cut through some caravans instead of walking to main road.
Small seaside town up the road which you can walk to in 15/20 mins. My daughter played on the beach even though it was a little chilly she just wore her coat.
My only negative would be at night the walk through the caravan site to the touring section is very poorly lit but once on the touring section lighting is fine.

It's the first time we've been to this site. On arrival we realised that the camping and touring site was actually separate from the main site. This was ok if you enjoyed the 15 minute walk there and back (not good in the rain!) On a plus side you didn't here any noise from the main complex.
We were impressed with the sites facilities for campers, a toilet/shower block to the rear of the booking in office, was lovely and clean, plenty of toilet rolls, soap and hand dryers. There was always hot water, whatever time of day or night we decided to have a shower. The shower operated by pressing a button, I had to keep pressing mine about every 10 seconds (not easy to do with a face full of shampoo)
There was another shower block further over nearer the lake but we didn't use this, so can't comment.
There was a well stocked shop open for all groceries etc, very expensive though. We drove into mablethorpe to use the local co-op, which was reasonable.
The activities were excellent, the usual amusements, swimming, and crazy golf, go-karts etc all extra though (approx £1.50 for a go, the site is located straight opposite the beach, lovely if you get the weather.
There was a show bar and restaurant, we had a lovely meal and drinks and thought it was reasonable (£30 for x2 adults and x2 kids)
The only problem we encountered on this site was that we had noisy neighbours, they had music on one night until around midnight, there are signs up saying no noise tolerated after 9.30pm, but never saw any security patrolling to enforce this.
Staff were all very helpful though during the day.
We were enjoying our holiday until I got tangled in my sleeping bag and decided to dislocate my kneecap at 4.30am (I don't think the other campers were impressed by my screaming and the blue flashy lights) It was then that we realised that the nearest A&E was a 40min drive away, as mablethorpe only has a limited service. I was carted off to Grimsby Hospital, and then my hubby had to drive there to collect me!
I think we will locate the nearest hospital before booking our next trip!

I have just returned for one weeks camping and I am sorry to say this was this worst camping experience we have had.
Firstly, the site does not have enough toilet and shower blocks. The staff try their best, to keep them clean, but to my knowledge they were only cleaned once a day, with 3 fields using 2 blocks this needs to be more. I think its more to do with the other campers how disgusting they were, urinals blocked for 3 days, shower cubicles not cleaned properly, wood hanging off walls, toilets not flushed after use.
Secondly, communal wash up area was disgusting. People leaving left overs and scraps in sinks. Noisy neighbours shouting at kids at silly o'clock. Then we had 2 tents competing until 10.30 pm with a singing competition, no sign of security.
Main site 20 min walk, little train in day but stops runiing at 16.45. Not enough seats on train when busy and only every 45 mins
I would not recommend this site to anyone, glad to say it hasn't put us of camping, but would only stay in small family run sites now

This was our first time camping,cost 43.00 for 2 nights on a basic pitch. When we arrived the staff were friendly and we were shown to the touring field and were allowed to choose where we wanted to be. We were at the top of the field and was about a 4-5 min walk from the toilets, the showers were warm but could of been a bit cleaner and a few of the door locks were broken and so were a couple of the shelves. There is a newer toilet/shower block which were bigger but still needed a bit of attention.
Its about a 15 min walk to the main Haven site as you come out of the touring site pass another caravan park then back into the main haven, this wasn't a problem for us but smaller kids were a bit tired on the way back!there is a train that takes you there but its ends at around 5ish, they could do with a short cut! the swimming pool was good although the outside pool was closed and so was the flume slide which was disappointing for the kids! there is plenty to do, fairground rides, formula one go karts, high wire assault course but this all cost extra and soon adds up! there is also a good adventure playground for the kids. We only went to the eve entertainment once and found this to be very disappointing the main bar smelt really bad and floor was sticky, had to queue ages for a drink and entertainment was awful! I'm sure its better than we saw for the 2 hours we were in there! the beach was only a few mins walk across the road which was lovely and kids loved it, all in all it was a brilliant weekend but a bit pricey in haven itself.

We visited this camp site outside of the peak season for a weekend in June.
We arrived quite late and this was not a problem. The camping and touring reception was still open and we pitched up fine.
The pitch itself was very flat which we were very grateful for, after recent camping experiences.
The toilets were clean and the showers were hot, although very annoying as they were the push button type and they only stayed on for 15 seconds.
The camping pitches were separate from the entertainment with another site in between.
The play ground was good for the kids and there was a couple of fair rides on site.
There was an inside swimming pool which was very busy and an outside pool although this was closed.
I think this camp site was a nice site with good facilities, it was excellent for visiting the beach as it was a short walk away.

Plenty of room for caravan /awning an car, nothing much to do on the touring field for children.
Showers could do with updating as no where to put your dry clothes. But had constant hot water.
The main park was a good 15 mins walk away but once there you had swimming pools indoor and outdoor, large indoor activity centre for kids, fair, playground,
Close to beach in mablethorpe
Staff really friendly

Visited at Easter, 2 adults and 2 small children. The good points are that its close to the town and just across the road from the beach which is nice, the children's play area is good and there is a playgym for small children and you can hire the bikes.
The down points are that you'll need plenty of money for the children's rides, you have to buy tokens which aren't cheap and seem to go very fast, especially when you have 2 children.
The touring field is away from the main site about 10 mins walk not really good with small children. The toilets weren't too bad but the showers were dirty. They are in need of a total refurb. Ladies don't bother taking your hairdryers etc as there's no electric sockets, there is a hairdryer fixed to the wall but I should think when the sites busy you'll have no chance.
I give this site 9 out of 10 for location but for the site itself I give a 4 out of 10.

Myself and the family decided to try the camping area at Golden Sands as our first Haven Holiday. The site itself was great with loads of space and great facilities and the price was outstanding. The only thing I have to criticize is it was about half a mile to the main site from the touring area but for a good night it was worth it. However there is a road train between the two area during the day.

Although we have been to Havens many times staying in static caravans at various locations, this was our first in a touring caravan and first time at this site too. First impressions were that the staff were friendly but the grass pitch was more like hard mud as previous occupiers must have used a non breathable ground sheet.
The electric hook up point was fixed to the fence which was heavily overgrown by bushes that had not been trimmed. Branches jabbed into my face as I tried to duck and access the electric point to plug in my 240 volt cable.
The water points on the field are the worst I have encountered in four years of caravanning. The taps are only slightly protruding making it difficult to fill the water barrel and as the spout is not round you can't fix a flexible hose to it either. The water taps were better located at the toilet block adjacent to the touring reception but a much further walk each time to fill up. The Elsan disposal points at the toilet block were not covered and any children can pick up germs and bacteria very easily if they put their hands over the wall. We used our own on board toilet and shower as the ones provided on site didn't look that inviting.
The entertainment complex is quite a long walk away as there is no short cut through either. To access the amenities you have to leave the touring site entrance, walk a fair distance along the road, re-enter the park main entrance and then walk right around the building perimeter to enter the entertainment venue from the rear. Not an ideal situation especially if you have people with disabilities or young children so constant use of the car may be required especially in bad weather conditions.
The shop was well stocked but rather over priced in comparison with shops in the town.
The bar prices were quite fair in comparison to what they used to be at Havens holiday camps and I didn't have to queue for long in order to get a drink.

We have just got back after 2 nights at this site. We were late arriving on Wednesday night this was not a problem, as we phoned security who came to us and showed us to our area of the site. The only problem we found was that you felt excluded from the main site there was another site in between the main site the tourers site. Yes it is a good 10 min to the main site but during the day there is a road train running round the site about every 30 mins. Driver is great he helped us find our sons who had gone missing. Staff on touring side were friendly also.
This is a great site if you have children clubs and competitions for them to join in.
The night time is good family entertainment.
It is close to mablethorpe which has a good selection of shops for a small town.
We will go again this is at the children's request.

We visited this site on the bank holiday weekend so were expecting it to be busy. It was a family holiday so there were quite a few of us camping together.
The pitch we were given was ok but once the campsite filled up there was not much room between everyone. The main problem with this site were the toilets. In a tent you have to use these facilities and if we had of had a choice non of us would have done. The toilets kept running out of toilet paper. The showers were also dirty. We complained about them being in a bad state and the staff said that the cleaner only worked until 6pm. The time was 6:30pm, for me, this was not a valid excuse. Even when the cleaners had just 'cleaned' the toilets they were still dirty. Not impressed.
The main complex was about a 10 minute walk from the touring pitches which was not a problem for us but it is worth bearing in mind if you have small children.
The pool was good fun. The outside pool had just opened so it was not too busy. Again though the changing rooms were a disgrace. The floors needed a good clean and all of the showers were cold.
The bars at night were reasonably priced and we had a good time but if you order food expect a long wait. It took an hour for our food to arrive on the night we decided to go to the bar for a bite to eat. Two staff serving everyone.
The park is in a good location with the beach only a couple of minutes walk away. Mablethorpe will take nearer to 30 minutes to walk to or you can get the camps train for a small price.
We paid £40 a night which for a tent is towards the more expensive end of parks. Although the park had a lot of facilities, they were mostly in need of an overhaul or were too busy. For us though basic hygiene when you are camping is not too much to ask and this campsite failed in every aspect.

We like this site we go quite often due to the fact we don't live far away. The beach is lovely great for the kids and dog. Mablethorpe is with in walking distance of the camp which saves on parking. Yes it is a bit dated but kids still love the fair and there is some good chippys.
Golden sands itself is not bad entertainment good if you can get a seat kids love the pool and arcades.The restaurant is a bit varied sometimes good other times not so great. Last year we left our tourer there all week for returning for the weekend for 20 quid. All in all great site defo going back.
