 This site pretty much has the monopoly on campsites (for tents) in Skeggy. I've been really busy at work at the moment so after a mad rush leaving work on Thursday night (for a long weekend) and after a puncture on the way there - we didn't arrive until 9.10pm.
It was still light and people were still playing cricket on the fields etc - but we were laughed at when we asked if we could pitch. I know it was late but the tent field was empty and enormous so there would be no-one to disturb while we put our tent up. We camp as we are on a limited budget so when the guy told us to go away until the following morning, we were gutted! We havent had a holiday yet this year so our 3 day weekend was eagerly anticipated.
We had to drive into the town and luckily found a cheap b n b for the night but it took most of out weekend spending money.
When we went back to the site the morning after, we asked how stringent they were with the 11am leaving time. We wanted to enjoy a bit more time having lost a night. The young guy in his new landrover said oh yea - don't worry, you can stay longer we don't mind - we smiled - things were looking up - and then he said, if you stay after 11am - you just need to pay half a day to stay until the afternoon!
The campsite wont freeze your icepacks - its against health and safety said the lady in the shop - so the food we had brought was off by Sunday!
The toilets were blocked on Saturday night and there wasn't any loo roll from Sat night until 10am Sunday morning - when someone blocked another loo!
Chemical emptying in an old loo in an open cubicle next to the loos - not nice.
No plug sockets or hairdryers.
There was an off sewerage whiff quite often blowing around - not sure where from?
A long moan I know, and we all say it but I'm not a moaner - but this site was the least camper friendly I have known - and if they cant make money from it - they wont offer it or have it.

My husband and I, our two children aged 10 and 13 all agreed this is the best site I have ever stayed on.
Nice, clean and warm showers. Our block also had private wash basin cubicles. Also area to plug in hairdryer and mirrored area.
Well stocked shop.
Lovely country style pub that serves good food.
Cafe.
Very good kids play area.
It had the water skiing which was good to watch being as I wasn’t brave enough! And it was also fun to watch the planes landing and taking off on the airfield.
Fishing lake.
It was a nice 10 minute stroll down the lane to a shop, chippy and two pubs. It is also across the road from Butlins if you fancy buying a day pass. A further 10 minutes stroll under a subway is another 3 pubs that serve good food, kids entertainment, arcades and last but not least the beach.
Half hour walk away is Fantasy Island for shopping, amusements, rides, eating and drinking.
The only negatives I have about this site are;
The pot wash facility is in a sheltered outside area. When the wind was blowing I got wetter than the pots!
Lots of dog poo. This is due to neglectful dog owners and not the sites fault.
I will definitely be booking again to go next year.

Just back from this site. We were very impressed at the efficiency of the staff at getting you to your pitch and checking in. They take a jeep out and you follow it to your pitch. No hunting for numbers here! Mind finding it yourself would be difficult this site is HUGE!
We had a pitch for a 6 berth tent with hook up. 2 adults 1 infant charged at £21 per night in July. We had a huge pitch but they put us right next to the road which was somewhat troublesome with a young toddler. Plenty of trees around to shelter from the wind. Immaculate toilets and showers but the toilet block got so hot and the water in the showers was so hot that I wouldn't see them suitable for young children. You could not change the temperature on the showers as they were push button. The park area was fantastic, so clean new and safe. Our 18 month old loved it. Pub and coffee shop looked nice but we didn't use it. Areas are all landscaped really nicely and grass kept short. There is a huge hill which all the children seemed to love and our son adored feeding the ducks and huge fish. Shop ok but only stocked the real basics.
We had lots and lots of noise on our first night especially at kicking out time from the pub. People just walking by literally shouting. This may have been avoided if we were not pitched by the road I guess. One party of tenters opposite yelling until 2.45am so I was not impressed. 2nd night much quieter. Little noise after 11pm. This site is so well located. Across the road from Butlins and easy driving to skeggy and fantasy island. We really enjoyed it despite being unlucky with noise. We will certainly use this site again when returning next season.

We stopped here to visit our friends who also had caravans on static sites, we arrived late though, as our jeep had broken down mid journey (reception where very helpful though - actually arranged a jump start on site -to get us to our pitch) (then we could arrange to fix the jeep the next day).
The site was very clean, and not too pricey either. There was a nice family bar and a small cafe too. Toilet block with showers, which were clean. Large fishing lake, with ducks to feed.
We had to book an extra night, as the jeep couldn't be fixed, at that point.
There's a 5 minute walk to the front with loads of shops, pubs cafes, etc
We would book in there again definitely, as it was central to everything.

This is the second time we have stayed here and again really enjoyed it.
The site has a shop which has a variety of things on offer. There is also a pub on site which serves meals.
The toilet blocks are immaculate and always very clean whenever you visit them.
It is a really big site but it never seems like there are too many people there, I have never once had to cue for the showers even though we have stayed here both times on a Bank Holiday. I would definitely recommend this site.
We went for a walk one day, and you come out of the site and across the road and down a lane, you come to the sea, only about 20 minutes and you are there.

We visited this site for the may bank holiday, in a group of 6 adults and 2 children (aged 9 and 4)
I can honestly say I thought this site was amazing, we had a fantastic weekend, and I would definitely go again, here's some more info:-
THE SITE
Huge site, must have been close to 2000 people there this weekend, but it never felt crowded,very well kept, grass really tidy, 3 lakes, one of which you can water ski on, and you can fish on at least one of them
There are loads of trees around and its a very pretty site
The onsite shop sells a good range of basic items and would cover most things you may have forgot, although there is a tesco and a morrisons a short drive away
THE WASHING FACILITES
There are approx 4 shower blocks (that's the ones I saw, there might be more) they were kept as clean as is possible (grass walked in etc cant really be avoided) my only gripe would be that when I went to the loo at 7am one morning there was no loo roll, I never found this a problem at any other time though to be fair
The showers were nice and hot, and although it says the showers are open 8am till 10pm, I don't think they lock them, as someone in our group went for a shower at 6am and they were open
The pot washing facilty was never busy and the water was nice and hot
ENTERTAINMENT FACILITIES
The club room was ok, with karokee in the evening, we ate at the bar inn one evening and the food was nice (pub grub) the play area was lovely, really nice and safe, but it did get rather busy
PITCH SIZES
You are shown to your pitch, and the pitches are a great size, and there is plenty of space between you and the next pitch
Overall I really loved this site and so did my family, for me there is only a couple of downsides to this site
1) There was only one of the four shower rooms that had plug sockets,so if you wanted to dry your hair or use straightners etc this would be a nightmare
2) the staff, the ones i came into contact with, the ignorant guy on reception who was rude and did not seem to want to be there
And the women in the cafe, we went in for breakfast on our last day, stood there for 5 minutes discussing what we would have for breakfast, when one of the snotty women said, we are not serving breakfast now, and pointed to a sign and said 'as the sign said, we are not serving breakfast' the sign actually said they serve breakfast till 12pm, and it was 11:10am!
I think its a real shame the staff let this wonderful site down

We have just got back from 3 nights stay at the water leisure park and have had a really good time. As a young couple you have to pay a £10 deposit per person which you do get back when you leave. They call it a good behaviour bond! When you arrive you are shown to your pitch. Loads of space between tents.
When we arrived Friday there weren't that many tents but it filled up on the Saturday, This is a really big campsite and no worries that you wouldn't be able to pitch there because it was full.
Even though it was busy (bank holiday weekend) the showers and toilet were never that busy and I hardly had to wait. Toilet and shower block were clean and the water was hot. There are a few toilet / shower blocks around so you don't have to worry that the nearest one is miles away! The washing up facilities were good, although these did get quite busy around breakfast time, I never had to queue but there were always a few people waiting in the morning however in the evenings it wasn't so bad. The water was hot aswell, but if everyone was pushing the tap at the same time it did take a while to fill your bowl up!
The on site shop was ok, had basic things in and was quite good if you had forgotten anything. There is also a morrisons 3 miles from the campsite in skegness where we went to get our shopping, it also has a petrol station.
There is a pub on site, we didn't use it but it did always look busy as did the playground. Out of the campsite and up the road is another very busy bar. There is also a bus service at the top of the road with regular bus to Skegness. There is a nice beach about 20 mins walk from the campsite few bars and chip shops quite quiet, perfect for flying our kite! Butlins is just across the road and you can go in for the day to go swimming and use the facilities, £9.50 for adults, £8 for children and £30 for a family ticket. Fantasy island is also near, the bus goes there or you could walk or drive.
Overall a very good campsite and can't wait to go back!

This site was as advertised. Spacious pitches for tents so you didn't feel hemmed in! The toilet and shower blocks were well maintained and clean. Our 2 young children loved cycling about as it's very flat with the exception of the hill bordering the lake (which they loved riding down!). The only down side is that they do not offer ice pack refreezing facilities which means we found it difficult to keep food fresh as we don't have electric hook up!

This is another of our favourite sites.True it can get a little bit on the busy side on bank holidays,but that's only to be expected. As mentioned in other reviews, the pub gets busy and you have to get in early to get a seat. We don't use it that much,prefer a BBQ and quiet drink outside the van.
The fishing here is very good,with some big fish to be had.
Facilities on site are good,showers are of an acceptable standard,grass being walked in is the main culprit,but on such a large site you're going to get that. Pitches are of a good size and you are directed to it by friendly staff.
Close to all amenities,entertainment is close by and a good site for the kids.
My only gripe is the entrance,which doesn't have a footpath and can be dodgy when trying to leave the site on foot and having to walk in the road!

Only stayed the one night but enjoyed ourselves in the bizarre hot weather at that time of the year. The site wasn't too busy when we arrived which was nice as we got to choose where we wanted to pitch in the field. Were advised by staff not to camp too close to the shower block due to people walking past late at night. A useful piece of advice but a fair trek when you're desperate for the toilet in the morning. Had more than enough space for the car and tent.
There was a shop on site and also a bar which was busy with entertainment at night. Word of advice for Skegness. Take lots of cash. My partner and I did our usual and took only cards and struggled the whole two days and evening. No cash points on the site and the bar would only take cards for bills over £10, additionally we could not find a cash point in the area that didn't charge at least £1.75. Local beach was close by and clean, although we couldn't do without a windbreak. You may have to pay for parking at the beach so change for pay and display would be advisable.
