The Eaves Inn and camp site

  • 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.

What customers say

This adult-only campsite, located behind a pub, is praised for its peaceful atmosphere, cleanliness, and spacious pitches. Guests highly recommend the pub's excellent food. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are generally clean and well-maintained, though some reviews mention the need for updates. The self-check-in process is noted, and the rural, quiet location is a key draw for many visitors.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked A lovely quiet site with the pub on site for convenience.

Disliked The grass could have been cut as it was quite long.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. So pleased you would visit again and you gave the Wifi 8. The grass had been cut the week before but with the rain and all the warm weather it has gone from being scorched to so green and growing out of control just in just over 7 days. The guy that comes and cuts the grass came just after you left he tries to cut the field when there is nobody on site. Look forward to seeing you again sometime

Would definitely ret

Liked Quiet location

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review. You stayed 1 night did not come into the pub. You had electric hook up with no cap on how much you used. The use of the toilets all with toilet paper, hand wash and hand towels, showers again with no cap of how long you stay in the shower before it cuts off. The use of the washup area. So sorry your not coming back

Great little no frills campsite.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The pub serves great food though make sure you book in advance by phoning as we booked via their website and they hadn’t checked so weren’t aware we had booked.

Disliked Toilet/shower block. Need some updating.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We do not have a website and we have not had a website for a very long time, we have a Facebook page. You booked your stay via Pitchup who have all our allocations and yes I had your booking to stay on site. You did not book a table to dine, on your special requests you wanted to be near the toilets for personal reasons. I have checked all my messages on messenger you did not message me or failing that you could have just picked up the phone. You really confused the young lady behind the bar saying you were booked in for food you were not, just because you book a pitch does not mean you booked a table in the restaurant. The shower block is going under repair and is still very usable and very clean. You stayed one night . Thank you for not returning

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 gravel touring pitch

Liked This is a lovely peaceful adults only site surrounded by the countryside but not to far away from Skegness if you want to visit the beach, fair and markets.

Pauline and her staff were very friendly and accommodating, we forgot to pack our dogs leads and she very kindly loaned us some for the duration of our stay was very much appreciated by myself and husband.

The pub is a lovely village pub with good outdoor seating area and the food is not to be missed we ate there on 2 consecutive nights and it did not disappoint large portions and very tasty.

Bathrooms (shower, toilet & sink combined) are small but functional and were kept spotlessly clean all through our stay. Good pot wash area for washing up.

We stayed on a gravel pitch and never had any problems with the wifi although it was busy.

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.
