The entrance

  • Spacious, family-run site in the Lincolnshire countryside
  • A 10-minute drive to Skegness; three miles from the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • Short walk away from a dog-friendly pub; barbecues permitted on site
Let Alan, Jo, their two sons and labrador welcome you into the lovely Lincolnshire countryside… the rural location and the splendid views at The Lazy Buzzards might convince you that you’re tucked firmly away in nature’s big backyard, which is true aside from the fact that the seaside resort of Skegness is only 10 minutes’ drive to the east (that’s a 15-minute pedal for those of you who have brought a pair of wheels along). Families, dogs, couples and any fans of a barbecue will find this family-run site particularly splendid. The nearest dog-friendly pub is only 20 minutes’ walk away and there are many other options for tasty fodder in the pubs and restaurants in the surrounding villages, towns and cities, including Burgh le Marsh (half an hour’s walk), Ingoldmells (10 minutes’ drive), Spilsby (15 minutes), Chapel St Leonards (15 minutes), Alford (20 minutes), Horncastle (25 minutes), Louth (half an hour) and Lincoln (an hour). With the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds three miles away, pick up the pace with rambles through the valleys, woodlands or chalk pits, and then return to the spacious four-acre site for some thorough relaxation. The views over the Lincolnshire fields make for some spectacular barbecues, that’s for sure. When it’s time to see Skegness and all of its sights, simply join the A158 nearby. Once there, you might have a hard time deciding on between all the indoor and outdoor attractions, which include the Fantasy Island theme park, bowling alleys, a cinema, fairground, crazy golf and a beach. Perhaps pick up some fish and chips or ice cream and take a parade along the seafront and pier or nose around the shops on the high street too?

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, quiet, and family-friendly campsite with spacious, flat pitches. Visitors frequently praise the cleanliness of the facilities, particularly the toilets and showers, and the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. It offers good value for money and is conveniently located for exploring the Lincolnshire coast. A secure dog area is a popular feature. Some minor points raised include a lack of sinks in toilet blocks, the occasional smell from the septic tank, and potential for the field to become waterlogged in wet weather.

Lee H.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Clean facilities
Level pitches
Friendly welcome
Good price and able to book one night in the summer
Non electric pitches had more freedom to leave room between tents than the electric pitches
Close to Skegness

Disliked Not really dislikes but could be improved
Not enough sinks compared to toilets especially if someone is having a shower
Only one washing up sink
The 10.30 noise curfew is later than other sites we've been to with kids especially considering large groups are allowed (luckily it did quieten down before that)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site was well maintained, and the owners were friendly and helpful - they went out of their way to notify us as dog owners that there was going to be a fireworks display near by, just in case. Facilites were clean and kept stocked. The site has an enclosed dog run which was a great addition.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location was easy to get too and very well signposted. Arrival was very fast and the area was clean and tidy. We had an electric/water pitch which was very well maintained. The shower and toilet block was clean and tidy. The pitch was level which meant no sliding off the air bed! 10/10 for our first ever camping trip!

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely pitch
Helpful members
Facilities where exactly as stated.
No issues with the actual site and location.

Disliked How close you are to the next pitch.
The people next to us where pitched with their seating area less than two meters from where we tried to sleep so I can honestly say it was the worst camping sleep we have ever had, it was gone 1 in the morning before they stopped 2 nights in a row.if you advertise a no noise after 10.30 you need to be doing checks, other sites do.

How it’s pitched doesn’t work, very little space between you and the next tent. Felt to enclosed and there was masses of pitch space left. So the need to pitch so close doesn’t seem needed.

Such ashame because over all we loved the location and how well it was maintained, the young lad was so helpful!

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked quiet, close to shops, close to the beach, enough space between tents, water hooked up by the tent, lovely dog area for my dog to run and unleashed for a bit

Disliked toilet are generally clean, but bathroom is not as ideal as it’s small, and the censor light turned off quite often, the switch to turn on was a bit high, young children will need help to reach out to
there was also a younger group near us that been chatting and laughing the whole night until 2am, no one is on petrol, and my mobile signal was poor, i couldnt find anyone to complain
