Visited this site for the second time with our grandsons. They had a fantastic time, sutton on sea is great for kids and Mablethorpe is close by. Friendly site ideal for families or grandparents!

We have visited this site on a number of occasions - this being the first time during school holidays. It was busy and we knew what to expect. The Wardens are were very helpful and friendly and are trying very hard to maintain a old and outdated toilet block. A lot of the problems are I am sure down to the people using them. Leaving rubbish and toilet paper on the floor is not acceptable. Also unacceptable is noise after 9 pm - tired children running wild whilst parents drink in their awnings themselves gradually getting louder the more they drink!! Wardens should not have to police this kind of behaviour and members should be more considerate to others using the site. We understand that there is a major upgrade on the site during the winter closed period to bring it up to the usual Caravan Club standard. Sutton on Sea is a lovely old fashioned 'bucket & spade' seaside town. The Fat Seagull deli and bistro is within walking distance from the site and well worth a visit. Looking forward to visiting again next year but not during school holidays though!!

Sutton on Sea

Our family really loved this site and we will be returning. Reasonably quiete and for the first time this summer (site number 4 as club members), we have not had to endure the daily 'Battersea Dogs Home' chorus of inconciderate dog owners allowing their pets to yap and bark all day long. Yes, toilet and wash facilities in need of upgrading compared to other sites, but they are adequate. ideally located for Skegness, Hull etc. Staff really freindly and helpful and seemed to be very busy, they earned thier money. Enjoy.

A step back into the past!

Loved this place. We spent a week there. No railway, motorway or road noise. Cursed the satnav that sent me down a small country lane, not the one to the site itself. So check the map carefully for B roads when towing. Use the main road into the town. ...........Men's toilets were a nightmare. Showers were old and outdated - get to the showers early. 4 toilet cubicles for men. FOUR!!!! So get up early or leave it late during high season, ............or risk standing cross-legged waiting for a warm seat to sit on. Lovely........ Badly needs a revamp!!........Very helpful staff and a lovely sheltered situation. Great beach nearby and visit the Farmer Brown's Ice cream farm shop out of town near the coast for cream tea - cakes at good prices. .....Visit : Boating lake and seal sanctuary nearby. If you want to go back 30 years, visit the amusements in town, the paddling pools at the towns centre in Sutton and Mablethorpe, both free enjoy the play areas and the bathing huts on the promenade. Had a great time once I had traversed the shower block issues.

Pleasant stay

My wife and I spent five nights at this pleasant little site. The wardens were polite and helpful and the general condition is a credit to them. The toilet block is in need of an upgrade/refurbishment as it does not reach the standards normally enjoyed at other sites. Some of the roadways within the site are also in need of repair or resurfacing, that said the general appearance with the the trees and grass in excellent condition was of a well cared for site. I agree with the problem of children on bicycles flying around the site well into the evening and riding at speed against the one-way arrows as well as across the grass and onto the roads without looking for either vehicles of people. I must have heard the wardens speak to the kids numerous times in an effort to control them, but heard a parent reply with a torrent of abuse. Are these people club members I wonder? or is it a sign of the times. An enjoyable stay with visits to the horrendous Mablethorpe as well as Skegness. All we can say about those places are that we've been there and will not be back. Sutton is a quiet pleasant little place to visit, but do not expect too much of it.

First time to Sutton-on-Sea

Our journey to Site took approx. 4 hours and we were pleased to arrive wardens friendly and welcoming, weather the whole week was wonderful a bonus as we had our dog with us so we had plenty of walks on the beach, dog walk around the site is very good. Site was very busy at the time of our stay as it was Tennis week and showers and toilets were not left as they should be by some users. The Wardens were brilliant and having to deal with problems that they should'nt have to especially in the evenings i.e. children flying around on bikes, scooters etc. late into evening 9.00ish We know it's the school holidays and unfortunately these things happen on all sites. It's a beautiful site and the wardens work hard keeping grass and site clean and tidy. Will be visiting again.

Not recommended in the school holidays

Me and my husband were caravaning with 3grandsons. The boys loved it , I thought the facilities where in adequate at times another toilet block would be helpful . The children tearing around the site on bikes was an accident waiting to happen In fact one almost knocked my 3year old grandson over without apology rode off . We were at the site for 5 nights by the time we left we were sick of other people's children leaving the showers and toilets like a swimming pool . A lovely site but don't go in the children's summer holidays .

Nice little site close to the sea

This is a nice little site with a friendly and helpful warden. It's less than a ten minute cycle to the seafront, and probably around 15 minutes to walk. The toilets were relatively clean, but there are not that many for the amount of pitches. The showers were good, but, again, in busy periods they may want more. I would recommend it for a short break.

Unusual to go on a site 1.5hrs after "opening time" and find only 3 pitches available-but I suspect this was down to school holidays and what appeared to be a very relaxed exit and entry time system-however the one toilet block though very clean to start just can not support this amount of people on site and within hours looked and smelt awful the wardens do a fantastic job but it really needs cleaning multiple times and club members also need to start respecting the facilities a little more as clearly some issues revolved around people not the facilities. The Wi-Fi reception was awful even though we were only 15ft from a repeater mast-unable to cope with the very simplest of tasks on a tablet. Sorry I know its school holidays and children must play but how no one gets knocked off their bike is a miracle-blatant disregard for the one way system and some cars travelling way in excess of the site speed limits is a recipe for disaster. Ok if you have dogs though, again a little unconventional with the walk being off site and again club members do need to take cleaning up after their dog more seriously we have dogs and are appalled at the lack of respect by those people that don't clear up after their pet. In many years of caravanning on cc sites this is the only one we have come away from with the firm promise that we doubt we will return.I believe it could be so much better but it needs some serious investment and more thought behind the pitch layouts especially the ones off the perimeter roads.
