On the edge

A pleasant, level site with a choice of grass or gravelled hard-standing pitches. It is ideally located for anyone who enjoys an old-fashioned seaside holiday, being so close to Sutton on Sea and within a 20 minute walk of Sandilands promenade. Nice for an off-season break too. There is plenty of countryside to explore, with a number of walking routes, which can be joined close to the site. East Lindsey's Coastal Park is an attractive, largely unspoilt area bordering the sand dunes. There's plenty of free car parking and it's easy to find a picnic spot. The old market town of Alford is within a short drive, where the Manor House and Museum of Rural Life is a must for anyone interested in gadgets and machinery from a bygone age. The volunteer staff are enthusiastic and informative. The main thing, which lets this site down is its ageing and tired toilet block, which needs a radcal overhaul to bring it up to modern standards.

UNDER - RATED BUT SPOILT BY NOISY DOGS AND CHILDREN

We came again for the May spring bank holiday, fortunately the weather was slightly better than last time when it snowed, we were also happy to find we had the same pitch as before, which was spoilt slightly by people cutting across our pitch and kids running around throwing pebbles from the pitches. The wardens are very nice and hard working, we feel the large trees need cutting down as it restricts the light and enjoyment of some of the pitches. I was surprised to see some of the pitches looking tatty with weed growth. Walking into Sutton is possible by the main road or a couple of the side roads,it approx a two mile walk. The site wc block is tired and in need of some attention, but is clean, I question the qty of facilities as when its busy it can be a problem. One thing that annoys me and must annoy the wardens is the state some members leave the showers and toilets, one does wonder how clean their own home must be, And why do people leave empty shower gel bottles in the showers? do they think fairies turn up and clean up. Do not get me started on dog barking, why do people think its ok for their dogs to continually bark while the owners sit in the caravan ? Anyway moan over, great site with great wardens, great location, just a few inconsiderate members.

Really lovely stay

Stayed here in May, lovely wardens, very cheery, lovely to speak to, couldn't fault them. Found a hardstanding near the play area which is in a cul-de-sac & it was heaven, so peaceful. The wardens cut the grass on a regular basis, even trimming the hedge grass, again, can't fault it. People say the shower block is looking dated, well so am I, but I still function! It's fine, it's clean, it works, what more do you want! A short walk into Sutton-on-sea, a longer walk along the promenade to Mablethorpe is a must. Eateries are few & far between sadly. We had a bad experience in the Fat Seagull, but then found a gem at Lady B's Cupcakery in Mablethorpe, a must for anyone who likes a lovely tea room with gorgeous homemade cakes & cheesecakes! You're a 15-20 minute walk to the beach, it's a nice part of Lincolnshire [bar Skegness!] so give it a try.

Always a Favourite

This site has become our favourite for the east coast, small and quiet but ideally situated between Mablethorpe and Skegness. Only 1 mile from a dog friendly beach with miles upon miles of sand. The site itself has always been tidy, toilet block is starting to look tired but kept very clean by the wardens. Pitches are nicely spaced (as usual). Overall a great site to use as a base to visit the east coast of Lincolnshire.

A big disappointment.

Arrived here on the 15th May after a long journey to us the site immediately looked tired. whilst booking in I asked a couple of questions and was told I would be given answers to my questions when we returned to the office with our pitch numbers. As we traveled with our relation we tried to get 2 pitches together,which we did on long grass that had not been cut for a long time even though the grass had been cut on other pitches that were cordoned off.There were cob webbs in the men's toilets and to us a general shabby appearance to the site. Not what we expect from the C.C . We will not be returning here again for certain.

Lovely rural peaceful site

Just a short break just got home, very sad the weather from last week (scorching!) did not last. Great for motor homers, you can park in a beautiful well maintained site with friendly wardens, but no surprise as I find this is usual club standard :) A pleasant walk through a residential area to the sea. Lovely walk to Sutton-on sea despite weather and the following day as far as Mablethorpe. Lovely beach would be good for families and flat promenade great for cyclists. Note to self next time bring bike. As weather not great we were able to go to Skegness for fish and chips, next time hopefully without rain we can walk the promenade too. Would love to come again.

Get the bikes out and enjoy a lovely coastline!

A good site. Some great pitches and as always a great welcome from the wardens. It is really well positioned for Sutton on sea. Our main reason for visiting was to cycle some of the coast. Mablethorpe is a short hop along the promenade. Head south and you arrive at Huttoft beach great for a picnic. A little further on and you can enjoy Anderby Creek. Fabulous beach and only a handful of people. If you are happy to cycle on the tiny link road you can move on to Chapel st Leonards and Skegness although these may be an aquired taste We were lucky with beautiful weather making this a great place for gentle cycling with some fantastic sea views. Amazingly friendly locals and tourists made for a great short break. Get the bikes out and enjoy a lovely coastline!

Someone forgot to tell the weather it was Easter

Lovely little site. Wardens are always friendly and a god send this weekend as they allowed us to stay a couple of hours later as it was snowing back home and the delay allowed it to turn back to rain. It is looking slightly tired in places but wore told getting a refurb at the end of the season. More hard standing pitches would mean more members would get to enjoy this little site and help with availability in poor weather. I also have to praise the hard work of the wardens in keeping the facilities clean in very trying conditions with a few of the pitches and grass areas flooded. Only wish the club could have a word with the local farmer as his bird scarer sounds like a mini bomb going off every 15 mins and after 3 days is really annoying.
