Cleethorpes Beach (Haven Holidays)

Cleethorpes Beach, the Haven holiday park formerly known as Thorpe Park Holiday Centre, is a large family touring and camping park set near the mouth of the Humber at Humberston, just outside Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire. The touring area has 120 pitches taking everything from tents to motorhomes, and it sits about five minutes' walk from the main facilities, with a heated wash block, accessible showers and covered dishwashing areas. This is a resort-style park rather than a quiet field: on site you get a heated indoor pool with an outdoor space bowl flume and SplashZone, the Adventure Village activity area, a nine-hole golf course, freshwater fishing lakes, the Marina Bar and Stage entertainment venue, and food from Slim Chickens, Burger King, Cook's Fish and Chips and a new J D Wetherspoon pub. The sandy beach runs straight from the park towards Cleethorpes and the River Humber, with the town about two miles north and Grimsby roughly five miles away. Dogs are welcome on pitches, though continental tourers and gazebos are not permitted. Reviewers rate the location and the helpful touring wardens, while a few flag that some pitches can pool water after heavy rain, so ask about pitch choice. Touring pitches start from £10 a night, booked through Haven, and the park opens seasonally rather than all year, making it one of the busier family options on the Lincolnshire coast.
