  • 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.

Chris M.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Not much as we pulled up and after 20 minutes left again.

Disliked This is my impression
The front staff who while there were three people there only one apparently could check us in. He told me in a firm tone “ I’m on the phone I will check you in once I’m done” this took a further 5 minutes to start checking me in.
Once checked in the drive to the pitch reminded me of a high security place with the metal railings on one side and the fob activated gate (that you have to pay a deposit for).
The toilets are very dated and the design is unusual to say the least. Oh and these are also fob activated.
But the worst thing by far was the geese feces. Despite the pitch not being next to the lake I couldn’t walk two steps without stepping on some.

Well worty the money to stay for a few days.

MICHAEL G.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nice and quite with clean facilities, close to the beach. During the booking process I made a mistake over the date but a quick phone call to the Fishing shop resulted in the helpful staff changing the date and all went smoothly.

Disliked I did not use the £10 deposit FOB to enter the site, it requires driving outside to operate the barrier so I just drove around when entering from the campsite side.
I was chased down by a very angry and aggressive member of staff to check whether I should have been on the caravan side of this park. While I have no problem with having good camp site security he could have been more understanding and polite before flying of the handle.
The amount of bird drooping and begging wildlife that went so far as to peck my toes.

From the manager: hi thanks for your stay what you say in your review is that instead of opening the barrier with your fob. You drove between 2 plate pots and drove round the barrier in your car. So I was making sure you were allowed on the site. As we try and ensure the site is secure.

Basic site, toilets are clean but not very modern but meet all needs

Liked Amazing location
Really quiet
Facilities well stocked and clean
Nice level, generously sized pitches
Friendly staff at the reception / fishing shop

Hidden away down a lane next to a nice sized fishing lake, literally a 30 second walk to the beach. We will definitely come back again, we wouldn’t believe how quiet it was considering how busy it was.

Disliked Nothing at all!

Excellent site

Jevgenijs P.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Amazing quiet place, lots of room so didn't feel and hear other people, we were travelling with dog which was super enjoyable as there is enough space to walk your dog. Sea is just 2mins away which made it extremely enjoyable. Specially in the evening listening to the sound of waves. Showers and toilets neat and clean, diswashing facilities really good. Easy arriving, friendly staff. Loved it.

Disliked Toilet/shower block could be closer but didn't really feel it as discomfort.

Been here numerous times always had a positive stay.

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.
