  • Small family-run site among five acres of green Lincs countryside
  • A mile from Sutton on Sea and within walking distance of Huttoft beach
  • Next to a riding centre and 20 minutes' drive from Skegness
Well now, this is a popular little place. 'Fab', 'beautiful' and 'brilliant' are but of a few of the plaudits that have been heaped on small, family-run and friendly South Farm Caravan Park, set deep in the Lincolnshire countryside a mile from colourful Sutton on Sea. Families, couples and solo travellers are all welcome here, and dogs would likely give the farm an approving woof too: many walks are nearby along the countryside lanes and fields, and the walks – and bike rides – of the Lincolnshire Wolds are very close by. The closest beach, Huttoft or Moggs Eye, has miles of dog-friendly sands for the pooch to let loose. If you think the kids would like to canter, riding lessons and a pony club are at the equestrian centre next door to the farm; if they tend more towards a seaside vibe, Skegness is about 20 minutes away. (And if after that you tend towards a gentler vibe, the long wide open sands of peaceful Huttoft beach are within walking distance of the farm.) Facilities at the farm include spotless shower and toilet blocks (these are based away from the pitches and require a walk) and a washing-up area. There's a small tea room open at weekends only and a games room.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Shower/ toilet block was clean and well maintained.

Disliked: Shower block was a long walk from our pitch. It is not possible to walk to the beach as advertised ‘through a farmers field’. The crop stretches right the way to the dyke banks and there is no access. You have to walk along the side of the A52.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Very quiet well cared for site mostly seasonal caravans so don’t know what it would be like during school holidays Level pitches Asked to be near the toilet and I was Helpful and pleasant proprietor Clean toilets, showers and washing up area Lots of space for dogs Walks public footpaths to Sutton on Sea, surrounding beaches and town. There is a cafe on site which looked well used but I did not go so cannot comment Maps of possible walks could be provided Having to pay 50p for showers is awkward although this is made very clear and staff will provide appropriate change

Disliked: Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for staying with us and thank you for the feedback on the maps, maybe this is something I can look at for next season. Look forward to seeing you again.

Local attractions

This is a smashing spot for family and beach hols, with both Sutton on Sea and Huttoft beaches close by for colourful beach huts at the first and a peaceful relaxing vibe at the second. Skegness is an easy drive along the coast, and Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells are also easily accessible to the north and south. Among the many other activities near the farm are the ambles and pedals of the Lincolnshire Wolds or taking day trips to Lincolnshire's small market towns like Alford, where there's also a war museum and a theatre. Bargain hunters should also get along to one of Lincolnshire's many car boot sales, at Ingoldmells, Skegness and Mablethorpe on the coast and inland at Louth, Horncastle, Gainsborough and Hornbeach.
