  • Family-friendly Lincolnshire caravan park at Chapel St Leonards
  • Ingoldmells Beach 15 minutes’ walk; Fantasy Island 10 minutes’ drive
  • Fishing lake and well-stocked tackle shop; pubs 10 minutes’ drive
Tucked into the seaside village of Chapel St Leonards, 15 minutes’ drive from Skegness on the Lincolnshire coast, Lakeland Caravan Park is a family-run and family-friendly caravan park that's somewhat removed from the busy main east-coast seaside resorts. Being a popular place, this site still gets busy during the school holidays, so if you’re after a quieter sojourn it's best to book for spring or autumn. But whichever month you choose for your break, you'll be staying on a well-drained pitch with electric hook-up, and you can use toilets, showers and washing-up facilities in the brick facilities block, which has disabled access. Dogs are welcome and can be walked on Ingoldmells Beach (15 minutes’ stroll). Having the beach nearby is excellent of course, and another one of the big draws at this site is the fishing – there's a lake within the grounds where anglers can cast out their lines daily, and weekly matches are open to all caravan site guests. There’s a very well-stocked tackle shop selling fresh bait and everything from budget rod-and-reel deals to get novices started to fishing gear from top brands. Sea fishing is also available from Ingoldmells Beach. Anything else you might need? There are shops, lots of pubs, amusement arcades and night-time entertainment all within 10 minutes’ drive of the pitches.

What customers say

This is a well-located campsite, just a short walk from the beach and local amenities. Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and many highlight the on-site fishing lake and tackle shop. Facilities are generally described as clean, although some reviews mention they are dated and a walk from some pitches. Whilst many found the site peaceful, a few experienced noise from other guests. Bird droppings were also noted by some.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked So close to a lovely sandy beach, close to a few shops and some arcades but still away enough for peace and quiet, was a really lovely site.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, although the showers would be nice if didn’t have to keep pressing button or hold down for water, but a shower is a shower and it did its job so can’t complain just an observation.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Friendly and welcoming staff. Pitches are lovely and flat. Toilets, showers and washing station are functional and always clean. Within walking distance of local amenities and the beach but really peaceful. I enjoyed watching the fisherman on the lake. This is our second visit and we will definitely be coming back.

Nicole M.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Liked everything about it. I think other reviews have been blown out of context. It's your basic camp site with what you need. Bins changed constantly, toilets/showers were not far at all, literally on the other side of the tackle shop. They were cleaned and stocked. The floors were dirty however that was due to rain and people trailing mud which cant be helped at all. Beach literally over the hill outside gates and was about a nice 30 minute stroll to Ingoldmells. The ducks and geese were actually nice to see, the poop wasn't an issue like made out to be. It's bound to be there as its there habitat thats something the owners cant be blamed for at all so I think others are unfair to comment on that. There was a fair few of us and we all got to pitch within steps of eachother. Overall, decent camp site very ideal for touching base I would actually camp here again.

Disliked Weather wasn't on our side but cant control that. Nothing to really dislike.

Local attractions

Fan of bright lights and big amusements? The famed Fantasy Island theme park (10 minutes’ drive) in Skegness opens up stalls and rides when summertime hits. There’s more action over at Skegness Pier (20 minutes), including bowling and laser tag games. If you’re keener to avoid crowds and unwind on quiet sands, Sutton on Sea (20 minutes) should do the trick with its long sandy beach. Another secluded bay is Huttoft beach (15 minutes), a quiet stretch where many folk like to go surfing, swimming and fishing. Inland, take your hiking boots off to the trails of the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape (20 minutes). For some wildlife watching, there are a couple of really nice spots within a short drive of the park. The first is Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve (25 minutes), a seasonal habitat for waders, wildfowl and birds of prey set back along the coast. The other is Natureland Seal Sanctuary (20 minutes), a centre that rescues seal pups. Other adorable residents include alpacas, penguins, reptiles and colourful butterflies, so there should be plenty to feast your eyes on.
