Batemans Brewery Campsite

Lovely quiet site by the side of the river in a sm@ll Lincolnshire town.

Great beer and a warm welcome

we liked our stay very much, especialy the brewery tour.

the portaloos were not very clean.

Lovely little site next to the river and only a short walk from the town centre. Very peaceful and close to Gibraltar Point and other coastal walks.

Portaloo toilets weren’t great but not really an issue. Also showers on site but didn’t use so cannot comment.

Close to the town, within easy walking distance. Being next to the river was nice and there was a walk along the river bank. The grass was well maintained.
The water and waste removal area was easily accessible.
There was wifi which is always a bonus.

The constant hum from the brewery coolers was quite disconcerting at night. The dray lorries were loaded early (6 am ish) in the morning and it was very noisy.
The pitches weren't really wide enough and a lot of people had difficulty aligning up. If you had a large caravan and awning there was hardly room. Luckily, the site wasn't too busy. There were only two portaloos and one of them had a broken basin. The showers, although good, were up steps so not accessible for people with disabilities or mobility problems.
The electricity hook ups were in fours and this may have proved a problem if you were the furthest away. Twos are always better.
There wasn't any point of contact at the weekend so had there been a problem, there was no-one to contact.

Spotless grounds, toilet and showers.

Nothing

Nice clean quiet site

Lack of proper toilet and shower facilities on the site it was a porta loo and a mobile shower block

Grass was nicely cut and the site was in a peaceful setting, with plenty of birdsong. Toilets and showers, although potable ones were very clean at all times.

The Site was well situated for a walk into town or a train ride into Skegvagas, The Toilets and Shower trailer where very clean, Emptying the Motorhome loo was ad added bonus, The pitches where large and the grass was well kept.

The problem and lose and 1Star was that the Pitch (Pitch 4) had a tree smack in the middle of it, with the motorhome being 7m long if we had pitched to the right of the tree we would have overhung the entrance, we pitched to the left of the tree but this brought us within about 5 foot of the next motorhome, we pitched there one night and then moved to an empty pitch. The tree was also only a couple of inches from the top of the motorhome if it had been strong winds the branches would have been on the roof.

Location, at the brewery site, was open on Saturday and sampled the beer. Also a chance to have a brewery tour which we didnt do this time.
Just down the road is the village of Wainfleet, 2 pubs Angel and Woolpack, very friendly pubs
Before the village 3-4 min walk is Wainfleet train station, caught train to Skegness which takes about 12-15 mins right into centre of Skeg
Riverside location, our site was dog friendly, showers in the portacabin - about 7 of them, ok if your hair isnt too long, toilets good.
Clean site
Everything we needed. Good sunsets. Sun all day
Would definitely return
Was told the Suttons Chippy was very good too in Wainfleet village

Nothing to dislike

Fantastic stay, very peaceful, facilities very clean. We will definitely be returning. Our only question is when will the brewery windmill bar be reopening ?
