⭐ Review for Country Meadow Caravan Park (Sutton-on-Sea)
You should be warned before you go here — cancel your booking. This is not a great site.
We arrived at 14:00 on 7 July in a professionally converted Mercedes Sprinter campervan — clean, quiet, and fully self-contained. Despite this, we were told our vehicle was a “commercial van” and not normally accepted, but were allowed to stay as a one-off exception.
The reception experience was deeply uncomfortable. A man sat out of sight, whispering to the receptionist, then emerged to deliver the message that we weren’t really welcome. My wife, who had approached respectfully and on time, was left humiliated by how it was handled.
Our camper is fully fitted: insulated, with solar panels, batteries, diesel heater, grid input, and mobility scooter storage. It functions as a proper campervan in every way — yet we were treated like we didn’t belong.
Later, we were instructed how to park in unnecessary detail. When setting up a breathable groundsheet and our Vango Hex AirBeam awning, a woman approached and ignorantly asked if we were putting up a tent. Any informed person would recognize a standard campervan awning — this was not a tent. The tone was confrontational and condescending.
They had taken full payment automatically 11 days before our arrival, and there was no warning during booking about van type restrictions. Despite clearly viewing our booking as unsuitable, no refund or apology was offered.
Other reviewers have also noted aggressive barking from dogs kept in cages, and a general sense of rigid, joyless control.
This was one of the most humiliating and unpleasant campsite experiences we’ve ever had. In our view, this business should not be dealing with the public.

Gostou Pitches, toilet/shower/washing machine area and site clean. Flat pitches/well kept. Quiet from road noise during the night. Quick drive to Sutton on sea make location good.

Não gostou Site owners guard dogs noise & aggression behind cage driving in and out.scary indeed. Having to pay for electric, wifi and use of shower separately. Needed 50p’s to shower! All the notices everywhere instructing rules. No ball games allowed or play area for this. Nothing allowed or to do for older children. Not dog friendly. Only allowed to walk dog outside of site, I didn’t feel safe alone during night hours doing this, felt and leaves you Vulnerable. Site close to road and Traffic noise during light hours. Owners Not children friendly, lady told my daughter off for waiting a short time near toilet block with behaved dog, made my daughter cry. Felt like owners watch everything you do, checking the rules aren’t broken. Didn’t feel how it was described on website or reviews.

Do gerente: Sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us, but we can not please everyone.
Just to make it clear about some of your dislikes,
50p for a ten minute shower to help towards the running costs, if you begrudge paying for the shower then don't use them its not compulsory. The price is stated on the prices page.
Paying for the electricity, clearly stated when booking and you may choose whether to use the electricity or be off grid. Price is stated on the pricings page.
No ball games clearly stated in the terms and conditions, if you had bothered to read them.
WiFi is free not chargeable as your write up suggests.
As we are a rural site there is no street lighting or pavements. The dog walk is off the site around agricultural land using the public footpaths. This is also stated on the site description. You wouldn't let your dog use your neighbors garden so why would you walk your dog around empty pitches where someone else will be using at a later date.
No dogs near facility building clearly stated on the information sheet provided on arrival.
If you mean by owners watching you, you are referring to us being polite and talking to you when passing then I am glad that I do not live in your world.
The dogs by the entrance, they are there to alert us of anybody being at the barrier when we are on the site doing jobs. It is no different to a dog in the house that barks when someone comes to the door except they are outside.
It appears to me to be another Pitch Up customer that does not bother to read the T & C or pricing before booking then arrives leaves then leave stupid reviews stating exactly what they should have known had they read through the write up before booking.

Gostou Quietness
Well maintained
Clean facilities

Não gostou Charging extra 50 p for a shower. When already expensive rate
Too far away from any amenities to walk to over 2 mile

Do gerente: 50p towards the running costa of the showers ? If you begrudge paying for them then don't use them its not compulsory.
We are a rural site 2 miles from the town of Sutton on Sea, this is clearly stated in the description of the site if you had read about us. There is a bus route that passes the site which you could have chosen to use or you could have taken your motorhome.
Suggest you read about the site you intend to visit before booking in the future.

Gostou Good location to meet grand children and parents
Well kept peaceful site with very clean washroom and toilet facilities
Hospitable hosts.

Gostou Excellent site with all the facilities which was super clean and tidy . Owners were very accommodating to our needs
Lovely walks in surrounding area where you can grab a bite to eat and drink and even a ice cream on the beach

Gostou Owners are great. Even though you pay for the electric we only used around £4 over 3 days and didn't restrict how we used it. Pitch was great as well and facilities all good.
An ice cream van came onto the site every few days as well - which was nice.
Didn't have a phone signal so chose to pay for wifi - £10 for 3 days and multiple devices. Was good to have the option. You can flag the bus down outside the enterance to go to Skeggy or Mablethorpe.
