  • Small and peaceful adults-only site with pub and restaurant
  • A 20-minute drive from Skegness beaches, fairground and seal sanctuary
  • Within 25 minutes of the Viking Way and Lindsey Trail scenic routes
Country footpaths, home-cooked local produce and traditional ales, coastal walks and castles… half an hour’s drive from New York? No, there’s no mistake, but the New York in question is in rural Lincolnshire, as is the quiet, simple and very uncitylike Eaves Inn. As you may have guessed, there's a country pub to be found here... The site's at the back of a traditional country inn, open from Thursdays to Sundays to serve local ale from its cosy bar and a wide menu of eats in its restaurant. It's all rather scenic too, as pitches are in a wide field with views across farmland and fen, in the centre of the village of Little Steeping. Around the region, it's a 20-minute drive from here to Skegness. Shops and supermarkets are in Skegness and barbecues are allowed on this adults-only site, you can indulge in a bit of outdoor grilling any time you like. Work up an appetite by taking the dog for a brisk walk on the footpaths passing by the site. While the combination of pub plus field plus view is spectacularly simple, that doesn’t mean roughing it: a modern block combines hot showers, sinks and a washing-up area, all of it gleaming and heated.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: Nice quiet site away from the busy life. Food in the pub was amazing lovely owners. Nice walks for the dogs

Disliked: Gravel pitches not laid out very well, toilets not always clean, smell of sewage when chilling in the sun. Be nice to have a sign in sight when you arrive. Lots of people asking us what to do when they arrived. These couple of things could make it perfect

Once you're on site, very peaceful rural location with level grass.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: Lovely quiet site, with a friendly atmosphere in the pub, food was fantastic and plenty of it.

This site r would be better advertised as a pub stopover and as such would be excellent.

Disliked: Facilities on campsite were limited with only two toilets and showers for the entire site. This will be a problem when campsite has more pitches occupied. We had a problem with heating and hot water in these facilities with one morning having none at all.

Lesley M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: Peaceful place and good for walking our dogs,had the site mostly to ourselves (just one other motorhome for a couple of nights) nice meal on Sunday in the pub (which is dog friendly)we both had starters,very large portions then Sunday lunch I had baked ham and my husband and steak and kidney pudding both were lovely.

Disliked: Only one of the two shower/toilet was open which was OK when we where the only ones there, on the first night the owner let us know it wouldn't be opened that day because of the cold weather,then on the 3rd day there was no hot water so my husband ended up having a cold shower,then again the next night no lights or hot water in the shower/toilet eventually got hold of the owner who apologized and said it had tripped and rectified it.

Local attractions

If seeking a taste of traditional seaside stuff, set course for Skegness for sands and dunes, fairground rides and pier promenades, and endearing encounters with the residents of Natureland Seal Sanctuary. For meetings of the furred and feathered kind, it’s 15 minutes to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, home to tigers, tapirs, lemurs and hundreds of species of rescued parrots. If you prefer your wildlife in the wild, make the half-hour journey to Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve, a prairie-like vastness of dunes and wetlands where you can spot terns and skylarks while walking the trails. For longer hikes and bike rides, Horncastle (25 minutes) is a hub for two major routes: the Viking Way links the Humber Estuary with Rutland Water over 147 miles of grand terrain, while the 80 miles of the Lindsey Trail focus on the chalk hills, woodlands and ancient history of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Wartime history lies thick on the ground in these parts too, thanks to the role played by Lincolnshire’s people and airfields in the Battle of Britain: learn more at the Aviation Heritage Centre in East Kirkby, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitor Centre and the International Bomber Command Centre (20 minutes, half an hour and an hour away). Whether birdwatching or battlements are your bag, Tattershall Castle (half an hour) is worth a turn around, with 15th-century show-off interiors, woodlands full of wildlife and lakes nearby for wakeboarding and watery assault courses.
