Hard-standing pitch with plenty of space around it

  • Small family-run site among five acres of green Lincs countryside
  • Sutton on Sea and Huttoft beach five minutes' drive
  • Next to a riding centre and 25 minutes' drive from Skegness
Well, now, this is an excellent little place. Small, friendly and family-run, South Farm Caravan Park is a touring site set deep in the Lincolnshire countryside, a five-minute drive from colourful Sutton on Sea, 10 minutes from Mablethorpe and 25 minutes from Skegness. Families, couples and solo travellers are all welcome here, and dogs would likely give the farm an approving woof too: many walks are nearby along the countryside lanes and fields, and the walks – and bike rides – of the Lincolnshire Wolds are very close by. The closest beach, Huttoft or Moggs Eye, has miles of dog-friendly sands for the pooch to let loose. If you think the kids would like to canter, riding lessons and a pony club are at the equestrian centre next door to the farm. Facilities at the farm include clean toilets and showers (these are based away from the pitches and require a walk) and a washing-up area. There's a small tea room (open every day during the school holidays only) and a games room.

Friendly, helpful staff, clean facilities, and great value are highlights. Guests love the peaceful vibe and easy beach walk. Kids enjoy the play area. Some mention shower costs and toilet block distance, but most find it a gem. Café's good, site's improving!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great campsite very friendly and helpful owners and helpers
Only thing I would change is some toilets at the far end where the tents and campervans are as it’s quite a walk in the middle of the night if you need to go

Disliked Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would we return? Yes, but maybe as a short stop over.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Nice quiet site with welcoming host.
Easy to add additional night.

Id definitely recommend the site to others but there are a few things id mention. None of these are complaints or anything i raised with the site as this is just personal preference and didnt really affect our stay

Disliked Distance from pitches to toilets is noted on booking information so cant really comment further. It would certainly benefit from toilets and also an elsan point further up the site .

There is no specified grey waste pointz i asked one person and they said most either let it drain or empty in the hedgeway at the side of the site .

There is only 3 mens toilets and 2 showers, so at times you can get a short wait for an available cubicle .

Cafe ~
This was the only thing id rate low overall.
Priced at the top end but the quality was not there.
Bacon cheeseburger with fries, the only decent part was the fries to be honest.
Poor over cooked beef? Burger. Hard bacon and "plastic cheese"
You could really push the quality here with the price at what it is.


Now, the one thing that the site cannot be held responsible for is other guests inability to control there children

While there we saw several under 8s id say swearing, throwing food (and chairs at one point) with no one seeming to own the children.

There also seemed to be alot of people helping in the cafe area, so at times it was unclear who actually worked there.

Overall the site has lots of potential, but really needs direction and firmer management.

Location is excellent
Value for money
Only a small park and bouncy castles ( they need to be more supervised)

But comes at a cost with smaller issues

Recommend to friends Visit again

Will be back, great site!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great location, handy for Huttoft and Sutton on Sea.
Big pitches.
Playground for younger children, games room for older kids.
Showers were good (50p for 5 mins).
Pot wash and laundry room on site.
Good cafe serving home cooked fayre at reasonable prices & excellent ice cream at good prices too.
Very friendly and welcoming owners and wardens.
Very reasonable pitch prices.
11pm quiet time was adhered to.

Disliked Facility block is a very long walk from the camping pitches.
Facility block, while functional, was a bit tired and in need of an update.
Games room and potwash/laundry similarly were a bit tired but functional. Hot water in the pot wash was very hit and miss.
Grass camping pitches in a poor state*
Pitches needed to be better organised - large groups needed to be pitched together to allow more space and less disturbance for other campers.
No real walking paths from site, you need a car to go anywhere.

*The hot weather has been mostly to blame for this which I accept is difficult for the owners.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lots of activities for the kids, friendly staff/owners and great location

Disliked Got told on arrival no BBQ due to the heatwave which is fair enough but could this not have been emailed prior to arrival as we had planned out meals around it.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Very welcoming friendly owners and staff. They are all extremely proud of their site as they should be. Clean, well kept and lovely home cooked food available.owners go out of their way to provide you with everything needed for a lovely holiday. Stayed there several times now and fully intend to return.

Disliked Not much to say here just that we CHOOSE to be towards the back of the site so I find it a bit of a walk from the shower block and toilets , BUT, I’m in my 70’s and a bit doddery hahaha. Wouldn’t stop me revisiting.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would definitely recommend and we hope to return

Local attractions

This is a great spot for family and beach holidays, with both Sutton on Sea and Huttoft beaches close by for colourful beach huts at the first and a peaceful, relaxing vibe at the second. Skegness is an easy drive along the coast, and Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells are also easily accessible to the north and south. Among the many other activities near the farm are the ambles and pedals of the Lincolnshire Wolds or taking day trips to Lincolnshire's small market towns like Alford, where there's also a war museum and a theatre. Bargain hunters should also get along to one of Lincolnshire's many car boot sales, at Ingoldmells, Skegness and Mablethorpe on the coast and inland at Louth, Horncastle, Gainsborough and Hornbeach.
