  • 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 motorhome pitch

Liked Beautiful site, flat and fairly easy to find. Lovely dog friendly beaches nearby.

Disliked Toilets and showers weren’t cleaned regularly enough, on Sunday morning at 9ish it was impossible to find a clean toilet to use. Another camper close by was walking his son around doing exactly what I was doing trying to find a clean (ish) toilet but couldn’t find one. We left a day early because of it.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We had the most amazing long weekend here at Lazy Buzzards. Weve put it on our list of campsites to visit again. The owners was just amazing, so helpful and they was on site all day so if you needed anything they was there. The campsite was so clean. Our girls loved been able to run around or play on their bikes, they had the best time.
Would definitely recommend to others

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Plenty of room, well kept field. Ehu and water nice and close. A nice welcome. A short walk to local chippie and pub.

Disliked Not to do a dislike, maybe the showers and toilets could be better. Toilets were out of loo roll at an alarming rate ( strange) And the doors were difficult to secure. Didn’t use the showers.

Third year in a row returning to this site and will be back again!!

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Third year returning to this site and will be back again next year. Spacious pitches, grounds well looked after. Clean facilities.

Disliked Not a dislike just an observation - the wood on the doors to the toilets and showers has ‘moved’ as wood naturally does with swelling etc. But this has now created gaps meaning there isn’t full privacy, you can see out when using them therefore others will be able to see in.
