Just home from a three night stay at this site. The lady on reception was extremely helpful when we explained this was our first Caravan Club, and also first trailer tent experience. The marshals even checked if we needed a hand to setup!
The site, and indeed the Sutton on Sea area, is clean and tidy. Easy access to beaches. Plenty of nice walks with the dogs. It's a new experience for our two dogs too, and folk were patient with their new socialising adaptation.
I would have given 5 stars across the board. However, the one downside, for us, was that we were recommended to go on pitch 13 as a roomy spot. The problem was that it was next to the road, and also next to the farm(?) next door, which was very noisy with lots of banging and shouting every day except Sunday, which did keep setting the dogs off barking as a knock on effect :-( We will happily go back there, just not to that pitching section.
Considering it was peak season weekend, we really had no bother with children and bicycles, unlike those mentioned in other reviews. Those who were around, were very well behaved and observant of their surroundings. Credit to themselves and their parents.
lovely
Well what can I say, having just turned up on a dreadful day on the 20th June without pre booking what a welcome! a real little gem. The shop sells usual things and newspapers to order. Its 10 minutes walk to the bus stop, towards mablethorpe £5.60 return, and you can also visit Skegness via the bus also. Its about 30 minutes walk to the lovely sandy beach, and also the fish and chip van calls twice a week, and the were very good and not overpriced. Good for cycling and we will visit again.

Great three nights
Just returned home after three nights at this friendly site, the wardens are a credit to the club. The site is very well kept, to the standards expected even though some of the facilities are showing their age. We will certainly return again.
Realy nice site
Easy to walk to town and shops. Not to far to walk and nice and safe had pavements so very safe. Site lovely and clean.
Lovely time was had by all
Just got back from another few days at this lovely site. It's location is good about 30 minutes slow walk to the beach and then another 45 minutes slow walk along the seafront into Sutton. A walk we never ever get tired of. Sutton has an assortment of local shops which suited our needs. Larger supermarkets and shops can be found in Skegness. Can't praise the wardens enough for their efforts in trying to keep this site in good condition. It is way way overdue for a makeover. We visited during the school holidays and yes it was busy and there were a lot of children riding around on bicycles. Our children are all grown up now and no longer holiday with us but we enjoye reminiscing. All I can say to the members who commented about children on bicycles - if you don't need to holiday during school holidays - then don't do it!!! We shall definitely be back - children on bikes or no children on bikes, makeover or no makeover - just got to love this place!!!

Sutton On Sea
This is a lovely clean site and very helpful staff. Peaceful location but also a little far even from sutton. If you struggle to walk or have a very young family the site may be a little remote. Dont trust satnav as it takes you cross country through twisty narrow villages .

Sea air site
You can smell the sea, from your van and only a short hop and your in it.
Calmer days are best, as the sharp sand blows at you.
Lovely site, well run, clean and somewhere for everyone to choose, as different types of pitches.
Easy access to Sutton, Mablethorpe and the beach.
One of our favourites!
We have visited this site several times now as a Mum and 8 and 12 year old girls! We all love it! The beach is stunning and always quiet. It's a good 15-20 minute walk but worth it. The fat seagul does nice ice creams but I wouldn't bother eating here with kids as they do not cater for them whatsoever. Poplar farm about 5 minutes from the site do lovely breakfast and ceramic painting that the girls loved! Very friendly here! We walked from here along the old railway line to Farmers Browns Ice Cream Parlour. A good 45 minute walk but nice to walk across wheat fields and open countryside. Ask Helen at Poplar she will direct you. We also walk from here along the prom to Sutton on Sea. Waldos fish n chips are lovely! There is a nice paddling pool and a bit of a park. There's a coop and we found a lovely old fashioned sweety shop. All satisfied with wine and goodies! The wardens are really kind and friendly! The showers, toilets etc are immaculate and those that complain they are dated really are nit picking in my opinion. We also visit the seal sanctuary in mablethorpe. The girls love it but it's a bit lacklustre. That said it is a charity - the young team in the cafe are lovely. There's a nice collection of animals for kids to see. Parking is great next door it's £4 all day for the motorhome and this is just a short walk to a lovely stretch of mablethorpe beach not much round it but there was a 'pop up' beach cafe. You can hire a beach hut at Sutton but you need to be quick in March as they get booked up! The link is on the East Lincs council website. There's a good Aldi on the outskirts of mablethorpe with a large car park. All in all this place is lovely I would never have thought to visit this part of the country until I stayed at Sutton on Sea campsite. I give Mablethorpe Skegness etc a wide berth but Sandilands and Sutton are lovely!
we could not believe it!
just spent 6 nights here, late arrival so ended up under trees but it didn't really bother us as the weather was good, best Wi Fi we have had on a club site to date. Wardens hard working and very helpful. Pity they have to deal with some female idiot who put what looked like a bag of dog poo down the loo in the ladies, my wife couldn't believe it. as Victor would say 1 do not believe it!
Love This Site But-------
