What customers say

Immaculate, peaceful adult-only park with spacious, level pitches, pristine facilities, and friendly staff. Great on-site food vans. Minor points about dog runs and basins, but most keen to return.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Lovely clean well kept site with great facilities.
I think this was one of the biggest pitches we have stayed on and we'll marked out.
The owners and site warden were really friendly and helpful.
A bonus was the fish and chip van which comes on Thursdays and was delicious.
About 10 min drive to 2 dog friendly beaches which were lovely and clean.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked A beautifully-maintained, pleasant site, with lots of lovely plant displays and very clean and modern facilities. The site warden was friendly and helpful as were the other guests. We brought our bikes and cycled the three miles to Sutton-on-Sea each day.

Local attractions

Sutton-on-Sea (five minutes by car) has a wide sandy beach where dogs are welcome. Just to the south there's also the Sandilands Pit Nature Reserve, a wildlife haven with sand dunes and lots of other interesting habitats. Continue along the coast and you'll quickly reach popular seaside spots like Moggs Eye (15 minutes) and Anderby (15 minutes), where there's a beachside café for post-paddle snacks. Inland, the market town of Louth (25 minutes) has a great selection of independent shops, Georgian architecture and fab places to eat. Alternatively, you could pack up a picnic and head off to visit the ruins of Bolingbroke Castle (30 minutes), call in at the local donkey sanctuary (10 minutes) or head into the Lincolnshire Wolds (about a quarter of an hour away) for walks, bike rides and country pubs galore. Lincolnshire's well known as being a hotspot for aviation buffs, and this part of the county is no exception. For exhibits about bomber command during the Second World War, head to East Kirkby's Aviation Heritage Centre (25 minutes). If you're happy to travel slightly further afield, the Battle Of Britain Memorial (45 minutes) is also well worth a visit.
