 Stayed here for our first camping trip. I must say it was very good. The tent pitches were not cramped up and were level. We were near the airfield which the kids loved. The water ski was fantastic for the children to watch and been able to see the fish was a bonus. The toilet blocks were cleaned at least three times a day I'm sure this must be as a result of previous reviews but rest assured they are clean. The water was lovely and warm in the showers. Toilet roll always available. The site is near Butlins the beaches and ingolmells. Although it's not a short walk away as it may seem ! We visit skegness frequent so we know our way around and the cheap car parks £2 all day so we just used the car. The only downside to this camp was on the second night a family had used there cars to light up a football game for the kids this was untill11pm which I thought was unreasonable as there cars were playing loud music from them. I think this really needs some sort of way people are made aware that it states no ball games between tents and the noise level to be reduced at certain times. It's in small print but no one reads that ! Sort out the football music from cars and this site would be 10/10

Made a last minute booking for a mon - fri break here & came due to availability.
The staff were friendly on arrival and I was shown to our pitch. It was right next to the main through road for the site & had I thought it would be a problem I'd have asked to move! I think I was a bit naive as I've not used a site like this before! The etiquette seemed to be do what you want, where you want and as loudly as you can! The speed limit wasn't adhered to by anyone it seemed & people walked past the tent all through the night into the early hours talking/shouting at each other! We had neighbours from hell - a family up late who seemed to think the whole site wanted to hear their conversations, including the dad arriving back at his tent at 6. 30am from the toilet block to let his family know what he had done!
The loo block wasn't very pleasant either - there was a terrible smell in there all the time & generally unclean.
The washing up area wasn't very useable as there were no plugs or draining area or room between the sinks so the only option was to take up 2 sinks!
The pub was nice and the staff in there very friendly and reasonably priced. I didn't bring our dog on this trip but saw dogs were allowed in the bar. The kids park next to the pub was really good too.
Ingoldmells was within walking distance and there were several little convenience stores near & on the site.
This site is ok if you want somewhere near to Skeggy and Ingoldmells & know what to expect when you get there. I personally wouldn't actually recommend this site but think it would have been better if we had been pitched somewhere else.

Spent the bank holiday weekend here with a few friends.
The site itself is well maintained and you see staff members most of the time going round the site.
I thought it was a bit on the expensive side as it cost us £20pn without electric.
There website really needs to be made a bit clearer as there was a bit of confusion about booking and arrival times. Reception girl/girls were helpful and seemed pleased to help us at any given time, toilets on site were clean and tidy most of the time apart from the grass cuttings were lead in from shoes. We encountered a bit of noise from neighbouring site with load music and barking dogs. Everyone who I came into contact with seemed friendly but there was one set of campers who seem to have loud music on most of the time but this didn't bother us too much as we were sited away from them.
This is a nice family site with a playground next to the barn inn and the ground were well irrigated as we have a heavy down pour on Saturday day time.
The on site shop was well stocked and priced in accordance prices in the pub/bar were good value and cheaper than some/most bars at home.
All in all we had a good stay and I think 3 nights we stopped was just about enough maybe a week is plentiful.
I would consider stopping again.

We had a very nice stay. This may bank holiday with friends. On arrival a warm greeting from staff. Warden showed us to our pitches (we had to take all three tents to make sure we were together). Shop was well equipped with groceries. Playground was clean. Toilet blocks were clean. We had usual British weather but it didn't dampen our spirit. It about 45min walk into skewness and there is a footpath from the entrance leading you to ingolmells. The only thing wrong with this you have to cross the busy road.

Having stayed at the Skegness Water Leisure Park and enjoyed it before, it was an easy choice for our Easter weekend, however this time we left a day early and disgruntled.
The site itself is a lovely place with well kept grass, nice lakes and even has it's own airfield that you can camp right next to. The pub serves nice food and drinks all reasonably priced with a nice playground to the rear for the kids.
What is a shame is the type of campers that seemed to be attracted to this site. Loud dance music played until late, shouting and rowdiness until late and visitors to other campers smoking pot and sleeping in their car with the engine running and revving it till late was disrupting and made our family weekend very uneasy.
As some of these campers packed up they left large bags of rubbish and damaged unwanted equipment in their wake with complete disregard for others around them.
Toilet blocks although nice and upto date need more regular cleaning as were disgusting to use if visiting at the wrong time and sinks without drainers is a real pain in the pot washing area.
Although a day early, we were glad to pack up and leave.
In all honesty, a great site in which others spoil.
Would we return? No.

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!

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.

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!

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
