MABLETHORPE CAMPSITE REVIEW (C&CC)

 

PRICE AND BOOKING: 

2 nights (October 9th-11th 2020) cost us £38.70. That was for two of us with electric hookup, which is really reasonable.

October is classed as 'out of season' and prices tend to be cheaper during this period.

There were signs on the entrance to the site stating 'Advanced bookings only', but this may well be because of the current Coronavirus Pandemic, but I would still advise booking in advance / phoning  ahead to check that pitches are available - especially if planing to visit during the peak summer season. 

The sat nav took us directly to it, the road does look like a dead end, and there is no 'brown sign' indicating there is a campsite at the end - but there is! and this road in fact follows round a bend which then leads directly to the sea front. 

 

Suitable for all units - tents, motorhomes & caravans and offers hard standing, grass and electric hook up pitches. 

 

There is a barrier upon entry, which you get a code for on arrival so you are able to reenter after a day trip. There are also full, quite modern facilities including toilets, showers, pot washing, Elsan point as well as laundry. Free wi-fi is also available onsite, however it was weak where we were in the middle of the field. On the plus side, we both had strong fast 4G on O2 and Three mobiles.  

 As it's a club site, certain rules apply, for example;

This site also had a small wooden children's play park, a separate enclosed ball field, and enclosed dog walk. 

There was no shop on site during our stay (but this was during the COVID Pandemic - so we weren't allowed in the 'office') – however there is a small 'corner shop' about 10min walk from the campsite.

The whole site was very flat and level, with well kept grass, however, I did spot the odd wild mushroom or ten - so keep an eye on scavenging dogs. 

The sun rises and sets along the back of the field - behind the distant wind farm. 

  

The site had very minimal lighting (predominately just on the electric posts and facility block) so I advise taking a torch - and your binoculars if you like to look at stars - as due to it's location there is minimal light pollution. If you're lucky you may also spot the odd bat or two too! 

  

NOTE: if using electrics - make sure you read the unit correctly - we went without electrics for the first night as Dave thought our unit was broken - but he'd just not turned the switch on properly.
