  • 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.

What customers say

Great location, short walk to the beach and shops. Staff are friendly & helpful. On-site fishing lake popular. Facilities clean but can be dated & a walk away. Mostly peaceful, but occasional noise. Some noted bird droppings.

Liked Good location near the beach

Disliked Toilets were very dirty and had grime on the tiles that had been there a while. Couldn’t have a shower due to this. Dogs continually barking all day tied up outside the caravans and their owners didn’t care. Bins no lids outside the toilet block all overflowing. Only two toilets working working the day we were there in the men’s. Some of the pitches like a building site. I really wanted to like this site but it needed a big clean up.

Liked Great location right next to the beach. Nice site - we were given a good sized plot next to the lake. Kids loved being walking distance from the arcades and fish and chip shops etc.
We walked to fantasy island as wasn’t too far. Great value for the price. Had a really enjoyable weekend.

Disliked Main dislike - other noisy campers!
Quiet hours are meant to start from 10pm but some oblivious to this and carry on shouting loudly outside for hours after this! A fight over noise between 2 other tents kicked off at 2am!!

Key fob for the toilets (1 between 6 of us!) very small and kept losing! Wish they tied it to a rubber duck or something so we could more easily keep track of it!

There was duck poo everywhere but it was dry so wasn’t a problem and didn’t bother us at all.

Toilets occasionally very smelly and floor yucky but it did seem like they were cleaned regularly.

Liked The member of staff held on a hour to check us in as we were stuck in traffic.

The distance to my parents caravan site so we could get away!

Disliked When we arrived we very nearly turned straight back round. Our ‘pitch’ wasn’t exactly a pitch, everyone was packed in like sardines and it absolutely stunk of weed. The toilet and shower facilities need a major uplift, only two showers for each and the floors were awful, I didn’t want to put my bare feet on the ground. Had my parents caravan not been a 15 minute walk away, we would have 100% left, we literally went back to sleep and that’s it. We definitely don’t recommend and won’t be going back!

Liked Location right next to the beach is great.

Disliked Shower block not big enough for the site. 2 male showers for all tourers plus the tent field is ridiculous. The showers were useless anyway as they are push buttons that do not stay running. If you were lucky occasionally the shower would stay on for 3 seconds so have to hold it down with your bum to rinse your shampoo out lol also the temporary barriers around the lakes on the way to the beach just make it feel and look like a construction yard. They have been up for months and months and nothing has changed.

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.
