  • Family-friendly Lincolnshire caravan park at Chapel St Leonards
  • Ingoldmells Beach 15 minutes’ walk; Fantasy Island 10 minutes’ drive
  • Fishing lake and well-stocked tackle shop; pubs 10 minutes’ drive
Tucked into the seaside village of Chapel St Leonards, 15 minutes’ drive from Skegness on the Lincolnshire coast, Lakeland Caravan Park is a family-run and family-friendly caravan park that's somewhat removed from the busy main east-coast seaside resorts. Being a popular place, this site still gets busy during the school holidays, so if you’re after a quieter sojourn it's best to book for spring or autumn. But whichever month you choose for your break, you'll be staying on a well-drained pitch with electric hook-up, and you can use toilets, showers and washing-up facilities in the brick facilities block, which has disabled access. Dogs are welcome and can be walked on Ingoldmells Beach (15 minutes’ stroll). Having the beach nearby is excellent of course, and another one of the big draws at this site is the fishing – there's a lake within the grounds where anglers can cast out their lines daily, and weekly matches are open to all caravan site guests. There’s a very well-stocked tackle shop selling fresh bait and everything from budget rod-and-reel deals to get novices started to fishing gear from top brands. Sea fishing is also available from Ingoldmells Beach. Anything else you might need? There are shops, lots of pubs, amusement arcades and night-time entertainment all within 10 minutes’ drive of the pitches.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: The location is great. Right on the beach, roughly a 3 minute walk. Pitches were fairly large and fairly flat. We were lucky enough for the site to be quiet so enjoyed our time there. I read that some people complained about the amount of Goose poo, which, if I'm honest, there was a lot of it. It literally took me 10 minutes to go round our pitch with a brush & dustpan to sweep it up, stop messing the ground sheet up. We have a dog so didn't want him rolling in it. It was really no problem, they didn't poo near us again so it was worth the 10 minutes !.. Pretty fishing lake right at the side of the site and a massive tackle shop on site too. Nice, friendly people who will help you with anything you need to know.

Disliked: It isn't that I disliked the toilets but I think they could with some slight updates. ie:- the mirrors are weird, like those circus mirrors that make you look contorted !!!! There are only 2 showers in the Ladies.plenty of loo's. One of the showers had 3 hooks on back of door which was good, the other didn't have any on door. No shelves in either to put your shampoo etc, not great if you're not good at bending down constantly. My biggest honest dislike was the shower itself. Pressing the water button for it to stay on for 3 seconds was an absolute nightmare. I didn't bother washing my hair, it's long and would have taken me at least 2 hours to get shampoo & conditioner out of it, all whilst probably freezing to death !! Really not good, 3 seconds of water at a time is simply awful.. That's my only gripe. Kept nice and clean. The site would benefit from a small shop as it isn't near one.

Local attractions

Fan of bright lights and big amusements? The famed Fantasy Island theme park (10 minutes’ drive) in Skegness opens up stalls and rides when summertime hits. There’s more action over at Skegness Pier (20 minutes), including bowling and laser tag games. If you’re keener to avoid crowds and unwind on quiet sands, Sutton on Sea (20 minutes) should do the trick with its long sandy beach. Another secluded bay is Huttoft beach (15 minutes), a quiet stretch where many folk like to go surfing, swimming and fishing. Inland, take your hiking boots off to the trails of the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape (20 minutes). For some wildlife watching, there are a couple of really nice spots within a short drive of the park. The first is Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve (25 minutes), a seasonal habitat for waders, wildfowl and birds of prey set back along the coast. The other is Natureland Seal Sanctuary (20 minutes), a centre that rescues seal pups. Other adorable residents include alpacas, penguins, reptiles and colourful butterflies, so there should be plenty to feast your eyes on.
