About Grooby's Pit

A great location for those wanting some much needed peace and quiet. Welcoming adults only, this small touring and glamping park is perfect for keen fishermen and those looking to explore the Lincolnshire coast, with Skegness just a 15 minute drive away. Touring pitches are positioned around both lakes, welcoming caravans, campervans and motorhomes. All of the pitches allow up to two guests, ensuring it is never too overcrowded, with a 16 amp electric hook up, light and individual water tap. On the Main Lake, pitches are hardstanding with gravel and level with grey waste draining. There are 9m x 9m pitches for all tourers, surrounded by fresh hedging, with a 5.4m x 9m hardstanding pitch for campervans and motorhomes only. Rock pegs are recommended for awnings. On the Nursery Lake, there are two gravel 9m x 7m hardstanding pitches, along with three grass pitches. Please note, these pitches require grey waste to be collected. If you fancy a little luxury, there are also two glamping units onsite, a deluxe glamping cabin and the Squirrel Hideaway shepherd's hut. Each sleeps up to two with a double sofa bed (bedding and towels not provided), storage, wall-hung TV, and an ensuite with a loo, heated towel rail, hand basin and shower. For all of your cooking needs, you will also have a kitchenette with a microwave, hob, fridge/freezer, kettle toaster, crockery and utensils. You will have a wall heater to keep you cosy, along with electric and table and chairs for dining. Double doors lead you out of Squirrel Hideaway to a patio area with a private fishing peg. For unwinding in style, the deluxe glamping cabin features double doors out to a partly covered deck with a wood burner, table and chairs, a double rocking chair, outdoor lighting and a lower deck for fishing. Tucked away to the side, you will even have a private hot tub! For evenings onsite, guests are welcome to bring along their own BBQ, just please ensure they are raised from the ground. Open fires are not permitted. Four-legged friends are also welcome to join you for your stay, they are just not permitted in the deluxe glamping cabin.

Grooby's Pit is open from 15/03 to 30/10.

We were met at the gate by Tracy, a very friendly and cheerful lady. This site was fantastic, very clean, the facilities are very clean and modern. They obviously take great pride in running and maintaining the site. Unfortunately, we could only stay one night, but hope to return in the near future for a longer stay. Kind regards, Angela and Andrew.

On arrival we were greeted by Tracy! First impression, absolutely lovely, friendly, very informative! We were then taken to our pitch. We had a lovely relaxing time whilst caravanning so thank you. Site is absolutely immaculately kept - in fact faultless! Facilities were spotless. Everybody seemed to be holidaying at the same time as us, were definitely on happy oxygen! Such a friendly trouble free site! Fishing was also very good. If possible we would give 10 stars, the amount of hard work put in for us to holiday shows! Seasonal pitch holders were also very welcoming and friendly! Thank you so much Neil and Tracy, we will definitely return.
