Lovely Site
Very friendly staff on arrival. Lovely clean site, facilities lovely and clean. 30 minute walk to the dog friendly beach and then another 10 minute walk into Sutton-on-sea.

Confidence boost
Having lost my husband to cancer last April, I was nervous about caravanning alone. I had towed but never hitched up or unhitched. However, I was determined to learn as it is something I love doing.
I arrived at Sutton and explained my situation and the very friendly warden helped me to reverse onto the pitch and unhitch.
Another warden helped me to hitch up at the end of my three night stay.
Don't be scared; give it a go even if you are alone as people will help. ( And ladies, practice now, share the tasks, you never know when you'll need to do it. What if your husband was ill or had an accident?)
The site is great with wonderful walks along the beach and cycle path. Anderbery Creek and Chapel St Leonards were good places to visit.
I will be back.
Lovely Peaceful Site
Second trip of the year to a very peaceful site with very welcoming and helpful wardens, particularly the lady in reception. Facilities spotlessly clean and site looked very well maintained.
Great first trip of the year
Great site, very well managed by friendly and considerate staff. The facilities were kept clean and the site was immaculate throughout our stay. We have a motorhome so used our electric bikes to good effect for shopping in Sutton (5 minutes by bike 30 minutes walking), rides along the prom and trips to Anderby Creek (friendly cafe) and Mablethorpe. The hourly busses run from Mablethorpe through Sutton past the site to Skegness hourly. The wardens have installed a new gate with keypad at the back end of the site and this provides a safer and shorter access for humans and dogs to the footpaths to the beach, Sutton Town centre and to the old Sutton Branch Line walkway (a very pleasant tree lined footpath), avoiding Crabtree Lane. The beach nearest to the site is dog friendly and much appreciated by our dogs. There was an expected delay on arrival common to all sites because of the Coronavirus restrictions but once in reception registration was efficient as usual. This could also have affected members with other enquiries but thoughtfully another warden came from the back entrance of the office to offer assistance to members waiting outside with other queries. This later benefitted my wife when collecting a delivery in the pouring rain. A warden recognised her and appeared with the parcel to save my wife from a soaking whilst waiting for the office to clear. The necessary Coronavirus restrictions were clear and well managed. Despite the very cold and wet weather at first we enjoyed our stay very much. Grateful thanks to the wardens.
Much Longed for Holiday!!
Normally March is our 1st holiday away each year, but alas it was not possible this year so obviously we were itching to get away. we picked Sutton On Sea as we've been here twice before and loved it, mainly because it is so peaceful. It was nice to have a modern toilet block as the other one was outdated. As always the block was kept very clean amid covid restrictions. The only nit pick we had about the band system was with other members not doing what they were instructed to do by the signage. Come on people read the notices properly as it only spoils it for other members. There were people taking bands off the hooks and taking them into block with them instead of putting on hook. There were bands left on hooks even when there was nobody in! Wardens very friendly and hard working, kept the site grounds immaculate. The visiting chip van was well worth a visit and very reasonably priced.The only other negative point is like lots of other sites, certain members still think that the 5mph speed limit does not apply to them, we noticed this almost every day a lot of the time it was new arrivals who seem to think that it's a race to get a pitch, there are enough pitches for everyone so please SLOW down! Really don't what the answer is to combat this problem.All in all a very relaxing week, we will return in the future!

Bank holiday weekend break
Returned today after a nice weekend break.
Initially booked for Saturday and Sunday night but had a bit of luck with my new job. Tried to add Friday night and succeeded.
We were met at the gate and fast tracked into the site by the warden. After a steady drive around the site we found our ideal grass pitch in the corner. Lots of space and near to the reception. This was a trial break with our new rescue dog... and we loved it. The dog walk is ideal, the walk to the beach is easy and we even managed a walk to Mablethorpe and back.
The facilities were great, well organised for covid and really clean. The wardens were chatty and pleasant and doing a great job of keeping the site.
All in all a great site which we liked a lot. Yes we will be back, yes we will recommend it - a nice well kept site.
Perfect
Fabulous site, couldn't fault anything during our stay. Great wardens, always ready to go that extra mile to help. Excellent facilities although the showers were closed due to Covid, no problem as we were on a service pitch. Good TV signal and Wifi speed. Everything was spotless and we'll kept. Good size level flat pitches with countryside views and walks direct from the site to the beach and town. Fabulous beaches and plenty to see in the area.
Just to echo recent reviews following re-opening
Just back home from a seven night stay here. There is little that I can add to the reviews posted since 12 April 2021; I would echo and endorse EVERY word in respect of tidiness, cleanliness, welcome and greeting by wardens. They are keen to learn how members are enjoying their stay and want things to be just perfect - which indeed they are for the things under their control.
10/10, full marks, for everything that they have sought to achieve. You're doing a good job and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Members, however, continue to seem to flout some of the perfectly reasonable requests made by the Club in general.
There are some very strange interpretations of 5mph.
And some dog owners make little or no attempt to get their dogs to the appropriate place to do their business, preferring to allow them to do it on the same bit of green grass between vans every morning / afternoon. OK, they may clean up after the dog - but, wherever possible, PLEASE take the dogs out of sight (OFF SITE) before they do it. I don't want to witness it. It's unfair on the other members - and the wardens. They have far more important things to do.
These minor points aside, both of which are outside of the IMMEDIATE control of the wardens who are doing their best under difficult conditions, this is a cracking quiet little site - a little gem. Thank you for all that you do.
(P.S.
And I will be coming back to check that the fresh access gate is completed as promised! :-) )

Way to go!!
Well, we arrived here April 12th, first day of freedom. Wardens made us very welcome and explained the covid systems in place including the new standardised rubber band toilet block procedure and hand sanitisation points, all very helpful.
As always, the site was immaculate - from the grass to the hardstanding pitches to the toilets and service points - everything was perfect.
We extended our thanks to the wardens on duty on our arrival and would like to repeat our thanks here because without their tireless efforts the club sites would not be what we have come to expect and enjoy so thank you to every staff member on site for making it happen.
Location was perfect for our visit to Skegness which we enjoyed. The site was very peaceful despite being quite busy there was a feeling of peace and calm - very nice.
Toilet block was cleaner than clean thanks mainly to staff cleaning regime and partly due to campers treating the facilities with respect. A huge thank you to all involved in keeping the loos open.
Our hardstanding pitch was level, plenty big enough for us and as usual well spaced from other campers. At no point did we feel worried about social distancing during our stay. All service points were easy to use and spotless.
Would we recommend this site? Absloutely!
A change of venue - hoorah!!
First site on a 7 site tour of the East Coast just out of #Lockdown3. Lovely site, couldn't have had nicer Wardens, who said hi and asked how we were everytime we saw them. The facilities, though not completely open for obvious reasons were immaculate and we weren't worried about using them in these strange times. The new band system is sooo much better than the last. A great dog walk straight out of the site. A short flat walk to the beach and a pleasant stroll up to Sutton and beyond to the North. To the south the North Sea Observatory is well worth a visit and there is so much beach to choose from. Its great for cycling because its so flat and you can cylce on the promenade all the way to Skegness (if you really want to) and Mablethorpe in the other direction. We really enjoyed our 3 nights, and will definiately return to this small, but perfectly formed site.
