Great Campsite

Had a great holiday here in April. Staff could not have been more accommodating. We had a bit of an issue with our Motorhome & they were really helpful & we were able to resolve the problem. As fairly novice owners this was a bonus. The site itself was well maintained, out in the country side but close enough to the town without feeling isolated. Would recommend this site to all

Great site and staff

We stayed from 11 April to 22 April, having first visited the site in May 2021. Since then the facilities and the pitches have benefitted from an upgrade, which has made an excellent site even better. Our hardstanding pitch was level, grass free and well drained, which was a distinct advantage in view of the high winds, heavy rain and hailstones! The registration process was efficient and we received a friendly welcome on arrival. This approach was consistent by the staff throughout our stay. The staff were active on site every day, keeping the facilities spotless and the pitches tidy as they became vacant in readiness for new arrivals. The staff were also proactive in maintaining a safe environment on the site, particularly where a couple of individuals ignored the speed limit! As part of the upgrade a small enclosed area has been provided for dogs so that they can be let off the lead. This is a real benefit for making dogs comfortable early in the morning and late at night. The off-site walks are good with a thoughtfully provided access from the the rear of the site onto footpaths leading to the sea and into Sutton. In the latter respect this proves a safe alternative route to the road into town avoiding Crabtree Lane, which does not have a pavement. There are a number of place worth visiting, including the seal sanctuary on the road to Mablethorpe, the donkey sanctuary near Alford and the RAF airfield at Coningsby, where it is possible to watch Typhoon fighter jets take of and land from various viewing points. We had lunch at the café at Anderby Creek and at the watermill at Claythorpe. The food was excellent at both places but the watermill definitely had the edge both in terms of the food quality and location. Sutton has a Coop, a small Spar supermarket, an excellent bakers and a decent hardware store.

Seasonal Pitch (15 ) 2022

We have just finished our seasonal stay at the site. We arrived in March and departed on 6th November. Although we have visited the site for numerous years, this was the first time we were fortunate to get a seasonal pitch. We really enjoyed our stay and had an excellent summer. The wardens John and Sandra were excellent, and nothing was too much trouble for them. They made sure I was supplied with plenty of "cake" from the well stocked shop.The site was always kept neat and tidy and the facilities were superb. We also enjoyed the Queens Platinium Jubilee celebrations at the site. I would highly recommend this site to members. It is ideally situated with a short walk to the beach, or to catch the local bus service to Sutton-on-sea, Mablethorpe or Skegness. Member Bob Evans Leicestershire

Usual club standard a short walk from the beach

This was our first visit to the site which we chose for walking to the beach - it is a 20 minutes walk to the beach along well defined public footpaths across arable fields - ok for dogs off lead most of the way. The site itself is relatively small for club sites and the usual high standard of cleanliness and maintenance. The toilet block was refurbished 3 years ago and is of a high standard. There is a small enclosed area on site for letting dogs off lead but it was too small for our Labrador. However, immediately outside the site entrance are public footpaths which run around the site perimeter and provide good off-lead dog walks. They can also be accessed from a gate on the site perimeter at the other end of the site from the entrance - there is a code for opening the gate from the outside which you are given on arrival. There are a few shops in Sutton town centre including a modern Co-op which we did not use but seemed likely to have a reasonable range.

Super Sutton

Lovely to visit this site again but sad it was only for three nights. Very friendly relatively new to site wardens working hard to make improvements. A week old secure free to roam off lead dog area has been constructed behind the exit barrier and information room. Great improvement to the site as walking on Crabtree lane can be a bit disconcerting with the heavy farm vehicles and traffic. Another new addition by head office is the twelve seasonal pitches marked by a purple post scattered throughout the site.Still a short walk to the beach and town. Beware of Jelly Fish being washed up on the beach. Looking forward to booking this site again for nest year.

Relaxing two week stay

Arrived to be greeted by lovely wardens. Extremely friendly and helpful and also very relaxed (which I like) We found a nice grass pitch in the corner which was huge! The site is very well looked after, with lovely flower arrangements around reception. Great dog walk just off site with a gate leading on to a footpath. The site has a lovely atmosphere with lots of children playing and enjoying themselves. There’s a few reviews regarding noisy campers. They’re simply enjoying their holidays like the rest of us and the noise stopped around 9pm. People do need to slow down driving round the site but I find this to be an issue in all sites. Had an amazing, relaxing time.

LOVELY CAMP SITE

we arrived on the 10th July and stayed for a week, we have been here twice before so we knew what to expect, and we were greeted by a friendly warden pitches nice and big and the showers were spotless every day, easy to get around and about, and will most probably be back next year.

Lovely site

It is the first time we have been to Sutton on Sea and we will be back but not during the school holidays. Sutton is a lovely little place with a great atmosphere. However it would not be for you if you are looking for restaurants and bars.The wardens were lovely and friendly. The facilities were some of the best we have used. The site was for the most part lovely and quiet. But like some of the other reviewers our first two nights were spoilt by a large party who were very noisy. The parties near us with children were not a problem but there was a small number of children running around the site unsupervised even when it was dark. We observed these children running across and behind pitches, over electric cables and guy ropes, past barbecues and dogs without a thought. The wardens were speaking to children, if they saw them, about how they could hurt themselves or others but the wardens cannot be everywhere.

First visit, lovely site.

This was our first visit to this site, but will not be our last. The wardens are very friendly and helpful (as are most on CAMC sites) and do their upmost to help with any of your needs. I know the toilet block has been renewed in the last couple of years but it is kept in an immaculate condition with plenty of hot water. Had a bit of an issue with small groups of children running across pitches,a couple of times tripping over our canopy straps. That is why i did not give a full score in the peace and quiet rating, we will return to this site but probably pre school hols. Please do not let my views put anybody off of visiting this site, it is a cracker. Sutton is a lovely little town with a great seafront and prom.

Potentially very good but rather spoiled by inconsiderate people

This site has the potential to be great, but a combination of a large crowd of tennis players and their many offsite guests (totalling over 40 sometimes) who held parties until well after 10pm on several evenings, many people completely and regularly ignoring the speed limit, children noisily crashing into each other and adults on their bikes, and wardens who were very keen to start cleaning the toilet blocks well before the published time, but not so keen to cut the grass, re-stock the information point, or try to encourage people to follow club rules for the benefit of everyone, rather let the site down. For these reasons it comes well down the list of CAMC sites we've visited over the years. Maybe its a better experience out of school holidays. Sutton on Sea is a small, quaint place but there is a great fish and chip shop, and Farmer Browns ice cream is superb. We also enjoyed some nice walks along the very long prom. PS Ignore the driving instructions when driving south from Sutton on Sea. There was no "international caravan site" sign that we could see. Instead, Start looking out for Crabtree Road on the right after you've passed the wonky church spire
