  • 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 well-maintained campsite offers peaceful stays with friendly owners. Guests praise the clean facilities, spacious and level pitches, and convenient water hook-ups. The dog-friendly site features an enclosed run, and its location is ideal for exploring nearby attractions. While most visitors have a positive experience, minor concerns include the basic nature of some facilities and occasional pitch proximity during busy periods.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We have stayed at plenty of places and this was one of our favourite stays. It was spacious, easy and such a lovely atmosphere. I absolutely love the field they have strictly for dogs to be left off for a run. We love how spaced out the pitches were and how nothing was too far away. Will definitely be returning.

Disliked We loved it, the only downside was signal wasn’t great but that’s something that can’t be helped maybe because of the location was out the way slightly, but didn’t effect our stay.

Recommended, great location. Friendly people that run the site.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great location, very quiet. The site is basically a single field but it has electric hook ups should you need them, we didnt. 2 lots of toilet and shower facilities. About a mile to walk into Burgh Le Marsh which has a chippy!!

Disliked I am sure that this was just a blip but the toilet block that we used could have been cleaner
