  • Small family-run site among five acres of green Lincs countryside
  • Sutton on Sea and Huttoft beach five minutes' drive
  • Next to a riding centre and 25 minutes' drive from Skegness
Well, now, this is an excellent little place. Small, friendly and family-run, South Farm Caravan Park is a touring site set deep in the Lincolnshire countryside, a five-minute drive from colourful Sutton on Sea, 10 minutes from Mablethorpe and 25 minutes from Skegness. 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. Facilities at the farm include clean toilets and showers (these are based away from the pitches and require a walk) and a washing-up area. There's a small tea room (open every day during the school holidays only) and a games room.

The café is open daily from 9.30am to 7pm.

What customers say

This is a friendly, family-run site with spacious, level pitches, located a short walk or drive from the beach and local amenities. Visitors praise the welcoming staff, on-site cafe, and entertainment options for children, including bouncy castles. While generally clean, some facilities, such as the toilet block, are noted as dated and a walk from pitches. Shower use incurs a small fee. Overall, it's considered good value and a relaxing base for exploring the coast.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We’ve just returned from a fantastic stay at this campsite and couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

From the moment we arrived, the staff gave us such a warm welcome. They genuinely couldn’t do enough to help us, especially during Storm David while we were staying there. The weather could easily have dampened the trip, but the team running the site went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe, comfortable and looked after. Their kindness and constant support really stood out and honestly made the trip extra special for us. We’re incredibly grateful and can’t thank them enough.

The site itself is great for families. Our kids were kept entertained the whole time thanks to the onsite bouncy castle and park, which gave them plenty to do between outings. It made a huge difference knowing they had somewhere fun and safe to play right on site.

Another big positive was the size of the pitches. They were very spacious, giving everyone plenty of room without feeling cramped or crowded. It made setting up and relaxing much more enjoyable.

The location is also ideal. The campsite sits perfectly between Mablethorpe and Skegness, so you’ve got easy access to plenty of things to see and do in either direction. Whether you want seaside fun, arcades, beaches, or places to explore, everything is just a short drive away.

Overall, we had a brilliant stay. The combination of a great location, spacious pitches, family-friendly facilities, and most importantly the amazing people running the site made this a trip to remember. We’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-run campsite.

It wouldn't let me upload the photos for some reason but they provided Storm straps for the tents, wind breakers, storm pegs. And even parked 2 of their own vans in front of one of the tents to shelter them from the wind. Really went above and beyond for everyone!

They even prepped some spare bedrooms, one of the clamping pods and even inside their own home for any guests that felt unsafe to stay in their tents!!

Disliked STORM DAVID!!! 😂

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great campsite the owners couldn’t do enough for you. Storm Dave arrived while we was there and they was running around securing peoples tents and awnings. Facilities are super clean and there’s a lovely cafe onsite. Games room with DVDs to borrow aswell. They even did an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Our electric wasn’t working so they moved us straight away and even helped us move our stuff. Can’t wait to go again. Thanks again to the lovely staff

Disliked Nothing everything was lovely

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Very spacious pitches. Clean tidy site and well maintained throughout. Staff were very friendly and the food in the cafe was brilliant. Had no issues at all and they were more than happy for my two springer spaniels to stay on site with us.

Disliked The only one very small thing that could be improved was the shower cubicle in the men's. There was no where other than two hooks to put my clothes and towel on whilst I showered and as the shower door opened outwards the water then made the floor wet meaning there wasn't anywhere dry inside the cubicle to get dressed or keep clothes out the wet.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely owner, and wardens, very welcoming. Good pitches, not cramped. Food in cafe nicely cooked but could do with more home made options. (I think there are plans for this)

Disliked I can see showers being very busy at full capacity with only being 2 ladies. They were however spotless clean!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Nice site, quiet when we were there, nice dog walk along the edge of the site. Despite the toilet block, it was a nice peaceful site and very convenient for Sutton on Sea and Huttoft Car terrace

Disliked The toilet block was small, there was no accessibility aids such as hand rails to help stepping up / down into the showers.
The showers charge 50p for a few minutes - long enough to shower, but not relax for fear of it stopping mid soaping ....
The pedal bin by the side of the toilet was full the whole time we were there. The toilets didnt appear dirty, but not cleaned regularly

Local attractions

This is a great spot for family and beach holidays, 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.
