  • Peaceful park five miles from Skegness
  • Next to Burgh le Marsh at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • Well-stocked fishing lake on site
It’s not all about the seaside at Lincolnshire’s Skegness… Although the sand there is indeed fine, so also is the peaceful and remote location of Jockhedge Touring Park, on 25 acres of greenery five miles from Skeggy and next to the ancient village of Burgh le Marsh at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Since Jockhedge opened for its first season in 2014 it has assembled accolades for its spick and span facilities including its modern, bright luxury shower and loo block with underfloor heating, hairdryers, hand dryers, shaver points and separate male and female showers (the staff can open a family bathroom for you if you’re on site with the kids). Pitches are equally well-maintained and come with electric hook-up, water and foul/grey water drainage on each. Supplies and food are well sorted nearby: a café, mini supermarket and petrol station are within five minutes’ walk, and Burgh le Marsh has award-winning restaurant The Windmill, plenty of food pubs and several shops including the highly recommended Holmes butchers. Just outside the village, the farm shop at Lyndhurst Garden Centre sells locally sourced fruit and veg. Jockhedge also has a well-stocked fishing lake, and an impressive looking adventure playground for mini explorers complete with swings, seesaw and a most enticing-looking wooden playhouse: do see if Dad can squeeze in there too.

Raymond C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The site could have been excellent. The facilities very good. The service pitches were large. The fishing was brilliant. The site was quiet. The pitches were level.

Disliked: The hard standing for awnings was to say the least difficult to put pegs into the solid bricks under the chippings. The grass around the caravans had not been cut, the surrounding trees around the pitches were also in need of a trim. The potholes in the road on site needed some serious attention.

From the manager: Thank you Raymond for your review of Jockhedge Touring site. I am pleased you enjoyed your time whilst visting our site and it sounds like you enjoyed the fishing on site and managed to catch lots of fish. I will agree our site is quiet and we intend to keep it that way. The Pitches are lay out so if you park your caravan in the right location your awning will line up with the grass making it easy to put your tent pegs in the ground. Apologizes for the grass being long around your pitch on this occation , however due to wet weather we cannot also cut the grass as it makes a mess around the site . we will be trimming the tops of the trees when we close during the winter months and maintaining the roadways. Kind regards Liam

Excellent site, excellent facilities, friendly staff, great pitches

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The owners were really friendly & helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble. The toilet & shower block was immaculately clean with fresh cut flowers on the vanity unit. The elsan point is the cleanest I've ever seen. We had to double check we had the right place before emptying. The pitches are a really good size, plenty of space for a motorhome or caravan plus a large awning. Electric & water hookup are available on every pitch. The whole site is really peaceful and quiet.

Disliked: Can't find any fault with this place at all.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet site, mostly seasonal pitches but a few tourers, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Fully serviced pitches, and immaculate toilet block, lovely showers with plenty of hot water. the kids spent hours playing in the park. Great location to explore the area

Disliked: 4G signal is not great, but you can buy the WiFi package which is very reasonable at £20 per week for 4 devices.

Local attractions

The long sands of Skegness and neighbouring Ingoldmells are both five miles from Jockhedge Touring Park, and both have a lot more to do after soaking up sun on the beach. Soar around Skegness via kitesurfing or waterskiing; lessons and wetsuit hire are available for brave beginners at Skegness Water Leisure Park. Tiddlers can try splashing about under the sprinklers of the Fairy Dell paddling pool by Skegness’s boating lake or toddling around the tots’ area at Captain Kids Adventure World indoors on the Grand Parade, one of several indoor play centres on this part of coast. Also at Skegness, the Natureland Seal Sanctuary and National Parrot Sanctuary are colourful options for rainy days: if the kids want to get their beaks into more exotic feathered things, Squawk on the Wild Side at Burgh le Marsh’s Lyndhurst Garden Centre has regular shows and displays. The Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve, from the southern end of Skegness along the coastline, is where to see birds in their natural environment along its three-mile stretch to the Wash. For all creatures great and small, Hardys Animal Farm at Ingoldmells can be used to calm down at after the jaw-dropping rides of Fantasy Island, which has the world’s longest suspended rollercoaster as well as Europe’s longest looping rollercoaster. Europe’s biggest indoor market is here too (at Ingoldmells, not the rollercoaster): it’s a fairly sure bet that all ages will find something to bring home among its 220 stalls. If not, go to Alford wallet in hand: the ancient market town has a famed farmers’ market once a week, craft markets twice a week in summer, antique shops and Alford Pottery. A bucketful of seaside and market towns are easy to reach from Skegness, such as the ‘bathing beauties’ (beach huts) of Sutton-on-Sea and Mablethorpe to the north; the capital of the Lincolnshire Wolds Louth, and the antique shops and twelfth century church of Horncastle to the west with countryside cycle path running along to Woodhall Spa. Stop off at Woodhall Spa for an afternoon: pine woods surround this viewsome Edwardian village and include a cottage museum and the Kinema in the Woods, reely impressive as one of the first cinemas in Britain. There are also two golf courses (the one at Woodhall Spa Golf Club has been called the best inland course in the country) and a squadron of aviation sites: the Dambusters flew from here and its officers’ mess is now Woodhall’s Petwood Hotel with Squadron Bar. Finally, take at least a day in Lincoln, an hour’s drive from Burgh le Marsh, for its Da Vinci Code cathedral, the Magna Carta at Lincoln Castle and yet more shopping among its cobbled streets.
