  • 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.

What customers say

This is a well-located campsite, just a short walk from the beach and local amenities. Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and many highlight the on-site fishing lake and tackle shop. Facilities are generally described as clean, although some reviews mention they are dated and a walk from some pitches. Whilst many found the site peaceful, a few experienced noise from other guests. Bird droppings were also noted by some.

Trevor W.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Brilliant place could do with a shop that sell camping things and day to day things (bread, milk, eggs) could also do with swapping the campsite with the motor homes so the toilet, shower, washing up + water would be closer to the campers.
It is a stunning site! We loved every minute there

Disliked I think the rules should be more encouraged for example the quiet after 11pm. There was times when we could still hear people's speakers after 11. Also the no ball games. While kids will be kids I think considering the beach is so close to the site the "no ball games" rule should be better valued. Take your kids to the beach if they want to play football. Don't the peace for other residents. Also while the geese are absolutely stunning and completely harmless I think the site should be cleaned alot more regularly as there is alot of bird poo or maybe even consider placing another bin close to each pitch with poo bags + wipes so residents can clean the poo up that's near their pitch. There should definitely be a food shop + camping supplies shop on site. And the fence around the pond could do with a privacy fence.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Amazing staff, the site was very clean including toilets & showers! Toilet rolls always topped up too, close to the beach, arcades, shops! And the lake is a stunning view to wake up too 😍

Disliked The only issue for me personally is the walk to the toilets due to my incontinence problems!
A toilet tent would be needed next time

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The guy measures your pitches so you’re not crammed in. The grass was maintained well. The tents were seperate from caravans by quite a distance. Good location very close to the beach and shops/arcades etc

Disliked The toilet and shower block was on the caravan side which meant quite a walk which isn’t ideal when you have children. Also needed a fob for these. We had two tents in our party so we had 2 fobs. Paid £20 for them both and one went missing while in the toilets. So we lost £10 for not returning it. Fobs are very small they need a keyring or something on them so they don’t get misplaced (similar to what pubs do with toilet keys). Was unable to have a camp fire which we didn’t realise on booking. Also our tent was under a bright street light which meant it was lit up all night. Phone signal isn’t great there either.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really great location- So close to the beach and the arcades on the seafront.
Friendly staff.
Cleaner onsite several times a day.
Very flexible for pitching tents in a large group- only downside was that we couldn't be near to the motorhome that was in our party.
Gates and fobs for security. Felt very safe and family friendly.

Disliked Tent pitches were ridiculously far away from the toilets.
Only 2 showers in male and female shower blocks and you had to hold down the button continuously to keep the water going.

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.
