  • 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

Lovely spot near the beach, with great staff. Facilities are clean but a bit old-fashioned. Peaceful place, handy fishing lake. Some mention geese mess & loos a trek from pitches. Still, good value, many'd come back.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked A lovely basic campsite with no expensive extras you won't need. Staff and seasoned campers were friendly and helpful. Nice peaceful site off the main,tracks. Beach very close. A delightful place to stay. There is geese poo around but easy enough to flick clear. Will definitely be back.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked It was our first camping holiday, really enjoyed it here. It helps that we know the area anyway but this camp site was great, tidy, quiet, enough space for the kids to run around and play, fish pond bang behind you. We really enjoyed it.

Disliked Showers were out dated but what do you expect for the pricing (still did the job) 👍

Kelly C.

Electric grass touring caravan pitch

Liked Location was lovely, so close to the beach. Plus arcades a short walk away.
The toilets & shower block were clean.
Although it was a busy site it was still quiet at bedtime which was good.
Everyone seemed friendly.

Disliked The gravel path/road up to the site was awful with a pram - be better if that was tarmac'd.
Also for some reason we struggled to find it on Google sat nav when searching for it.
Toilet/shower block dated but still usable & fine.
No play area for kids or shop onsite besides the tackle shop for the fisherman.

Denizhan O.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nothing!, Nothing!, Nothing!

Disliked i cannot express myself enough how terrible it was!!!!!!!!!!!!! terrible facilities. disgusting tent pitch with all Geese dirt. no area rules. kids play balls hit everywhere. there is no one to warn anyone.
disgusting toilets. yet they charge you £10 for a KEY. i didnt notice leaving the facilites no earlier than 11:00AM. that means you have to keep that £0.10 key and make them another £9.90 extra to leave early.
plus it cannot be found with the address on google maps when drive.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: HI I am so sorry we were not for you. We have signs up saying no ball games and if we see people playing balls we would tell people not to. The reception in the tackle shop were you get the key is open from 8am till late. So you can hand it in at anytime to get your £10 back plus I want you to hand them back so they can be reused. The toilets are cleaned 3 times a day. We do have any issue with geese that keep coming on the tent field we use mower to pick the geese mess up and we do it 4 times a week. It is hard to stop as they are wild but so sorry we were not for you.

We only had a short weekend friday -sunday but loved it

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.
