  • Small and peaceful adults-only site with pub and restaurant
  • A 20-minute drive from Skegness beaches, fairground and seal sanctuary
  • Within 25 minutes of the Viking Way and Lindsey Trail scenic routes
Country footpaths, home-cooked local produce and traditional ales, coastal walks and castles… half an hour’s drive from New York? No, there’s no mistake, but the New York in question is in rural Lincolnshire, as is the quiet, simple and very uncitylike Eaves Inn. As you may have guessed, there's a country pub to be found here... The site's at the back of a traditional country inn, open from Thursdays to Sundays to serve local ale from its cosy bar and a wide menu of eats in its restaurant. It's all rather scenic too, as pitches are in a wide field with views across farmland and fen, in the centre of the village of Little Steeping. Around the region, it's a 20-minute drive from here to Skegness. Shops and supermarkets are in Skegness and barbecues are allowed on this adults-only site, you can indulge in a bit of outdoor grilling any time you like. Work up an appetite by taking the dog for a brisk walk on the footpaths passing by the site. While the combination of pub plus field plus view is spectacularly simple, that doesn’t mean roughing it: a modern block combines hot showers, sinks and a washing-up area, all of it gleaming and heated.

Liked Had a lovely weekend at this beautiful, peaceful site. Facilities are well kept and very clean. Spent lovely evenings watching the wildlife - beautiful owls swooping over the site and fields surrounding. Excellent food at the pub on site. Very friendly and helpful landlady and staff. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely return

Liked Lovely quiet rural place. Great pub great food so we were told by fellow campers. Didn’t get to eat in there this time. Nice shower and toilet block. Some of the roads around there were terrible satnav can take you down them. Would definitely stay there again if that way.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Super little campsite in a small village, within easy reach of coast and countryside attractions. I arrived while the pub was closed but a notice instructed me to select my own pitch, all of which were generous size and clearly marked. The site was well maintained and the facilities very clean although in need of repair but this was work in progress. Two combined toilet/showers, sufficient as only small site. Also has free WiFi. The pub was dog friendly, the food was excellent. Generous portions and well presented. The staff were friendly and efficient. Will definitely stay again.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful quiet site. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves the first night, just sharing with the deer, hare and the rest of the wildlife was so nice to see.
Toilets and showers in same cubicle, were clean at all times.
Good location, very quiet and peaceful place.
The pub on site was unfortunately closed during our stay but reviews say it is lovely so probably worth checking it out.

Disliked Communication before our stay was difficult but they did eventually reply and were apologetic as had been having some issues.
Wifi was pretty dreadful - we moved to the other side of the field the second night but wasn’t much better.

Local attractions

If seeking a taste of traditional seaside stuff, set course for Skegness for sands and dunes, fairground rides and pier promenades, and endearing encounters with the residents of Natureland Seal Sanctuary. For meetings of the furred and feathered kind, it’s 15 minutes to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, home to tigers, tapirs, lemurs and hundreds of species of rescued parrots. If you prefer your wildlife in the wild, make the half-hour journey to Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve, a prairie-like vastness of dunes and wetlands where you can spot terns and skylarks while walking the trails. For longer hikes and bike rides, Horncastle (25 minutes) is a hub for two major routes: the Viking Way links the Humber Estuary with Rutland Water over 147 miles of grand terrain, while the 80 miles of the Lindsey Trail focus on the chalk hills, woodlands and ancient history of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Wartime history lies thick on the ground in these parts too, thanks to the role played by Lincolnshire’s people and airfields in the Battle of Britain: learn more at the Aviation Heritage Centre in East Kirkby, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitor Centre and the International Bomber Command Centre (20 minutes, half an hour and an hour away). Whether birdwatching or battlements are your bag, Tattershall Castle (half an hour) is worth a turn around, with 15th-century show-off interiors, woodlands full of wildlife and lakes nearby for wakeboarding and watery assault courses.
