Large family-friendly pitches within 15 minutes' drive of beaches
A 15-minute drive to Cadwell Park Circuit; half an hour from Skegness
On a regular bus route to Louth, Lincoln and the coast; near the Wolds

Based in the pretty rural village of South Reston near Louth, Holme Lea makes a handy base for exploring the beaches and wolds of lovely Lincolnshire. Welcoming families and (well-behaved) canines, pitches are scattered across a four-acre site that's neatly divided into two well-maintained and level grass paddocks sheltered by high hedges. This is a handy spot to stay in if you want to ditch the car – Holme Lea sits at the foot of the gorgeous Lincolnshire Wolds, with abundant cycle and walking routes to try out. The local village of South Reston is on a main bus route too, so you can catch regular services to Louth and Lincoln, or seaside towns including Mablethorpe (15 minutes’ drive) and Skegness (half an hour). The village also has a popular local pub, which you can walk to in five minutes; as well as serving a decent pint, it has a small essentials shop if you happen to run out of supplies. For those who want to fish, there are also fisheries within five minutes' drive of the site. Simple on-site facilities include a toilet block, emptying point and various drinking water points around the pitches. There's also a shower room (with sink, toilet and shower) available for a small extra charge.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Stayed here for 2 nights. On arrival was greeted by a very friendly owner
That made you very welcome
She gave us a choice of pitches; we were close to the main road, and the traffic noise was not that bad. The site is flat and very well-kept on both fields, with toilets and a shower room, pay-as-you-go electric, and only using £4 for 2 nights
Good value. close to Mablethorpe and Louth will be using again

Disliked: none

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Very friendly and quiet site. Greeted on arrival made sure we was ok. Helped my husband set the tent up. Was there for 2 nights and £5 electric was enough.

Toilets very clean

Disliked: Could of done with a couple more ladies toilets.

Local attractions

Longing for a dip in the sea? The vast beach at Mablethorpe (15 minutes’ drive) has clean, safe water backed by a promenade, fish and chip shops and crazy golf to keep everybody busy. Skegness (half an hour) is another resort catering for all the family with amusement arcades, bowling and go-karting. For a run around on almost-deserted sand dunes, head for Theddlethorpe (15 minutes), where you can walk any canine chums and may never see another soul. Wildlife lovers can feed cute rescue seals and get up close to birds of prey at Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Centre (15 minutes), or spot big cats and bears at Wolds Wildlife Park (25 minutes), while kids can accompany keepers on their rounds at The Jungle Zoo (40 minutes). Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve (50 minutes) and Donna Nook Grey Seal Colony (half an hour) are the places to see common seal colonies. Market town and self-appointed ‘capital’ of the Lincolnshire Wolds Louth (15 minutes) is home to numerous well-priced antique shops, and is the jumping-off point for circular or long-distance walks in the hills. For a bit more adrenaline in your life, see what's on at Cadwell Park Circuit (15 minutes), or sign up for a track day.
