Ambers Lodge

Positiv I loved the peace and quiet of Ambers Lodge. It's very clear in the listing that this is specifically a quiet site with several rules to make sure this happens. I always look for this in a site, and have lost track of the amount of times a 'peaceful and tranquil' site ends up more like a nightclub at 1am. Thankfully, this site delivered on the promise.
The site does have very basic facilities, which won't be everyone's cup of tea and this would be best seen as a 'back to basics' site, almost like a farm site from the old days. i.e basic facilities with a fee to match. Because of this, I would say this is perhaps not the place to come for a first camping trip, or if you're used to camping club type facilities, unless you adjust your expectations dramatically. That said, the facilities that are there are cleaned regularly and I have no doubt that the exceptionally friendly owner and caretaker would try very hard to accommodate any requests.
In summary, I loved the old school vibe of the place, and would say that the site and staff are the most genuine and least pretentious I've come across in years.
Finally in terms of location, the site is superb. You have a short drive/moderate walk to Sutton on Sea and Mablethorpe, as well as Skegness. I haven't been to this area in around 20 years, and had a day out in Mablethorpe to relive my youth and fell in love with the place all over again. A traditional seaside town that's big enough to have the noise of the arcades etc, with relaxing quiet areas just a short walk away. The beach is award winning, and it's just a positive time overall.

Negativ I didn't dislike anything, except that it's not open longer, as I'd definitely had come back again before the winter.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you James this is the best most perfectly explained revue we have ever had. Regards Rusty

Positiv Great little camp site, it’s basic but it’s got everything you need and is spotless, The toilet block and showers could do with updating but these are clean. I’ve read in another review that these are due to be refurbished shortly. The gentleman who greeted us was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return.

Positiv The peace and quiet of a small adults only site. We were made most welcome by Brian and he was really helpful throughout our stay. Amenities were kept very clean. Loved being so close to the sea, a nice 45minute walk and we were on the promenade at Trusthorpe or in Sutton on Sea. This is a real back to basics campsite which we really liked and we will certainly be back.

Negativ Nothing to dislike

Positiv Lovely few days on a generous grass pitch at this small, quiet site only a 5 min drive from the nearest beach at Sutton-on-Sea. Flat ground & sheltered from the wind by high hedges. One free hot shower, a few 'unisex' toilets (with hot water I believe) and a ladies loo & basin - cold water but both always spotlessly clean & with loo roll provided! The manager was so friendly & helpful, as was the owner, and as a solo female camper, I couldn't have felt safer and would definitely book again. At £15 per night on a Bank Holiday w/e, it was brilliant!

Positiv We had such a lovely mini break here! The campsite feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by trees that give plenty of shelter while letting you feel really close to nature. Everyone on site was so friendly and welcoming – always happy to stop for a chat or offer suggestions of where to go and what to see in the area, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

The toilet and shower block was spotless and clearly well looked after, with regular checks that kept everything clean and comfortable. It really added to the relaxing vibe, knowing everything was taken care of.

All in all, it was the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. We left feeling refreshed and will definitely be back again!

Vom Platzbetreiber: We had recently had our front concreted so temporarily had to put our American firth wheel on the camp site car park, not on the camp site itself, this was explained to all the guests, all of which were happy with this as to be fair it did not affect the camp site in any way, we do our upmost to please our guests but sadly you can’t please everyone

Positiv The site itself was good. Those who run the site were very friendly and welcoming.

Negativ The area of Mablethorpre itself was not a nice place, in terms of a generally run down feeling and the presence of so many Reform voters. It was a pleasure to leave Lincolnshire.

Positiv Nice flat field easy electric hook up, Brian who greeted us was amazing very friendly and helpful. So much could be improved the shower & toilet blocks could look so much nicer with a couple of plant pots outside on the gravel and maybe painted a brighter colour so they look nicer for people not just cabins turned into them.
That’s all really that I’d say needs improvement all in all a nice couple of days away.

Negativ Nothing just as above.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, we totally agree with your comments on the toilet block, as you will have see we have a lot of improvement work going on and the toilets are next in line, so hopefully when you visit again they will be done, plus your tip regarding plant pots is a great idea. Regards Rusty

Positiv Peaceful campsite at a good price with no kids 2 miles from the beach in the countryside. Nice bloke who runs it. Helped me with a few things so went the extra mile. I was on a cycling adventure so it was perfect for me.
