  • Spacious, family-run site in the Lincolnshire countryside
  • A 10-minute drive to Skegness; three miles from the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • Short walk away from a dog-friendly pub; barbecues permitted on site
Let Alan, Jo, their two sons and labrador welcome you into the lovely Lincolnshire countryside… the rural location and the splendid views at The Lazy Buzzards might convince you that you’re tucked firmly away in nature’s big backyard, which is true aside from the fact that the seaside resort of Skegness is only 10 minutes’ drive to the east (that’s a 15-minute pedal for those of you who have brought a pair of wheels along). Families, dogs, couples and any fans of a barbecue will find this family-run site particularly splendid. The nearest dog-friendly pub is only 20 minutes’ walk away and there are many other options for tasty fodder in the pubs and restaurants in the surrounding villages, towns and cities, including Burgh le Marsh (half an hour’s walk), Ingoldmells (10 minutes’ drive), Spilsby (15 minutes), Chapel St Leonards (15 minutes), Alford (20 minutes), Horncastle (25 minutes), Louth (half an hour) and Lincoln (an hour). With the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds three miles away, pick up the pace with rambles through the valleys, woodlands or chalk pits, and then return to the spacious four-acre site for some thorough relaxation. The views over the Lincolnshire fields make for some spectacular barbecues, that’s for sure. When it’s time to see Skegness and all of its sights, simply join the A158 nearby. Once there, you might have a hard time deciding on between all the indoor and outdoor attractions, which include the Fantasy Island theme park, bowling alleys, a cinema, fairground, crazy golf and a beach. Perhaps pick up some fish and chips or ice cream and take a parade along the seafront and pier or nose around the shops on the high street too?

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Great facilities, well lit in the evening, nice quiet off, far enough from the main road to not hear traffic, nice flat well drained pitch each with water, power and light at the bollard. Great secure dog area which was fabulous for them to let off a bit of steam after being in the van all night. Thank you for the great stay

Disliked: Grey and black wastes in separate area would like a grey east near the main gate would be my only change

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Fabulous site. Not too big and excellent facilities. Showers and toilets were regularly checked and cleaned. Showers lovely and hot. The site is very well kept and nicely laid out. Only 5 miles from the coast and beautiful rural location. Easy to access and owner very visible. There was a problem family the first night, but this was dealt with very promptly the next morning and the family told to leave - very well managed! We will definitely visit again, real treasure of a site.

Bell tent

Liked: The showers are amazing, nice and hot, good amount of space, sink available. The campsite was nice and quiet and very tidy Alot of taps and electric hook ups available Good signal for phones Very friendly staff Great location

Disliked: The bell tent wasn't as clean as it could be, there was a few food crumbs, dirty plaster under the bed. We did book 4 hours before arrival so it may be that they didn't have enough time to give it a proper clean.
