What customers say
This is a peaceful, well-maintained family-run site with friendly and helpful owners. Visitors praise the spacious, level pitches, clean facilities, and lovely rural atmosphere. While some note the shower and toilet facilities are basic, the site is considered good value. It's well-located for exploring the coast and local towns.

Just been to Holme Lea for…
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Just been to Holme Lea for 3 days and what a fabulous little site. There was a mix of electric and non electric pitches. A small park with some toys for little ones. Lovely and quiet. The hosts Chris and Lou were amazing nothing too much trouble, even offered us a lift into Louth. There were 2 toilets one for males and one for females. A separate shower £2 which we were happy to pay which was coded. Washing up table had liquid, water, kettle and sponges. Quiet site and very friendly. Will be back if in the area

Holme Lea truly lives up to…
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Holme Lea truly lives up to its name — homely and welcoming from the moment we arrived.
Louise gave us such a warm welcome and outstanding service throughout our stay. She kindly helped us onto our pitch and thoughtfully placed us near the play area so we could keep an eye on our 2-year-old without hovering over her.
Louise also recommended some lovely places to visit, including a fantastic soft play centre, which we really enjoyed. We had such a great time that we decided to extend our trip and add an extra night!
Nothing was ever too much trouble. We’d even forgotten to pack our little one’s pushchair, and Louise very kindly lent us a spare one to use during our stay. It’s little touches like that which made our experience so special.
We would absolutely recommend Holme Lea to anyone looking for a friendly, relaxing, and family-oriented stay.

Really lovely site. Great pricing and we would consider going again
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The pitch was spacious even with our XL tent.
The children loved the play area and various toys that were available to play with.
The owners were always around for any queries and were lovely to talk to.
There was some items out of use, such as tables etc near our tent. One of the days. The children discovered little trinkets. Books etc and thought they had found treasure, it was lovely to see them all playing and discovering little things like this.
Really liked how the children could play freely and we could see them from the tent
The toilets were basic but kept clean.

Nice site , just a big red flag for charging for showers.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Nice, quiet area/pitch . Lovely surroundings very close to Mablethorpe and picturesque villages. Owners were nice.
Disliked even though stay was nice , reason for 6 out of 10 review is I was not a big fan of charging £2 every time to use shower and there was only 1 shower available for the entire site. I believe if you paying £23 for the night surely the amenities should be included . Every other place i have camped at has always been included with price of admission .

From the manager: Hi
Thank you for your review. I am disappointed with the comments you make and therefore wish to explain why we do things the way we do.
Pitchup clearly states that showers are not included in the price of the pitch fee! We aim to keep pitch fees as reasonable as possible and therefore if we were to increase Pitch fees to include showers this would be unfair to those who have their own facilities in caravans and motorhomes and therefore no need to use Site shower room.
Due to limited funding when converting the building for the shower room we decided to opt for quality rather than quantity. One shower is ample for our campers 95% of the time it is only on busy bank holidays that there may be a short wait at peak times.
The shower room is far higher than the normal standard you would expect on sites. Our shower room is heated, spacious, vanity unit, large mirror, toilet, pictures and plants and toiletries. You will appreciate that water rates, electricity cleaning regularly all takes time and money and being a small rural site we do have to charge for this unfortunately.
As you will see our reviews are excellent.
Excellent site with level pitches and great hosts
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Louise and Steve are great hosts and genuinely can't do enough to make sure your stay is managed well.
The electric pitches to the front of the site are of a decent size and electric is payable as cash or as the total amount at the end.
We paid in £10.00 increments and any credit is returned to you, there are meters by the pitch showing your credit.
Phone signal is intermittent on O2.
Disliked NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SITE - The pub down the road keeps very random hours and was not open on a Thursday evening and Landlady closed the pub around 21.30 on the Friday.
My wife who is easy going thought a shelf in the ladies toilet would have been helpful.
