Skegness campsites

The seaside town of Skegness is located on the coast of the North Sea in Lincolnshire. With a diverse range of things to see and do, Skegness is synonymous for beachside fun and one of Northern England's best known beach resorts.

If you're looking for fun in the sun and love the beach then you'll enjoy strolling along Skegness Pier and relaxing on the sandy Skegness Beach. A seaside classic, Skegness will win your heart with donkey rides on the Blue Flag beach and quirky rounds of crazy golf backed up with tasty ice creams. Make sure not to lose your lunch in all the thrills and whirling of the seaside's top adventure park, Fantasy Island. 

Do you love animals? Then no matter how young or old you are, the cute residents at Natureland Seal Sanctuary will charm you. In addition to seals, the sanctuary is also home to penguins, meerkats, butterflies, Soay sheep, crocodiles and snakes to name a few. This venue helps nurse sick seals back to health, so it's a worthy place to spend a few pounds and a lovely afternoon. If you're looking to be mimicked, follow this up with the lively National Parrot Sanctuary.

When the weather turns, there are great options on hand with all the cuteness of encounters at the Skegness Aquarium. It's full of tropical wonders themed around the narrative of Treasure Island. After that you can opt for live entertainment at The Embassy Theatre or the ritz of the Tower Cinema which offers fantastic 3D experiences. Batemans Brewery will help adults understand the ale brewing process and get to know the tasty flavours of Lincolnshire. 

Alternatively, if you're eager to get caught up in the action and thrills of car racing, zoom to Skegness Stadium with its exciting stock car and banger racing events. It's a great day out for car lovers or anyone who enjoys a show. 

Or, you could scale things down and discover the model vehicle collection at On Your Marques. They've got exhibits on GT racing, rallying, Indycar and supercars and while you're there you can test your nerve revving on the 50m Scalextric circuit. 

Families can have a wonderful retro day out at Butlins with enticing attractions including an outdoor funfair and Splash Waterworld. A visit to the beautiful Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve is also excellent fun for families and nature lovers. You'll see shorebirds wading through the tides and the lagoons found at Tennyson's Sands are a prime habitat for breeding waterbirds.

Don't forget that 'Skeggy,' as its affectionately called, is also making waves in local culture. The SO festival is an arts celebration you won't want to miss in the summer that brings together incredible performers in Skegness. There are plenty of museums too, top of the list being Village Church Farm, a fascinating open-air farming museum.

When it's time for an escape to the country, the Lincolnshire Wolds are on hand. They're just a few miles inland and allow you to explore sleepy valleys on incredible walks.

Visitors who want to see the surrounding area have a variety of nearby options. The seaside town of Mablethorpe and the coastal villages of Sutton-on-Sea and Ingoldmells which is home to Fantasy Island are all within easy travelling distance of Skegness. Slightly inland is the town of Burgh le Marsh which is home to Dobson's Windmill. Further away, the city of Lincoln is a great location for sightseers seeking day trips from Skegness.
