The best campsites with fishing in the UK
For intrepid anglers, finding a decent campsite with fishing on-site is a huge win, providing easy access to well-stocked lakes with a pitch right by the shoreline.
But here’s the catch: fishing campsites don’t usually offer much more than a damp pitch in a remote location.
That’s why we’ve created this guide to the best campsites with fishing in the UK, hand-picking those that combine great fishing with brilliant facilities and amenities. Whether you want to pitch a bivvy far from other anglers or hire a lakeside cabin with a hot shower, we’ve got you covered!

East Sussex
Wylands Farm
This Premier Park lies close to the historical town of Battle, but seasoned anglers will be hoping instead to conquer the series of increasingly challenging lakes dotted around this 154-acre site. There are nine of them in total, ranging from beginner-friendly lakes with easy access to those reserved for accomplished anglers taking on heavyweight carp.
With a touring area, waterside pitches for bivvies and rented accommodation with access straight onto the main lake, there's plenty of choice for where to stay, too.
One of the highlights at Wylands Farm is the on-site cafe, bar and restaurant, serving hot meals and cold drinks for tourers, anglers and locals alike. Enjoy a refreshing drink on the balcony that overlooks the main lake and reflect on how this fishing campsite really is a step up from its competitors!

This collection of three premium campsites is found on the border of Herefordshire and Powys, a rugged landscape that retains a sense of its ancient past - though these luxury holiday parks very much bring a modern flair to your fishing adventures.
Two campsites, Rockbridge and Arrow Bank, provide brilliant river fishing while the largest campsite, Pearl Lake, enables you to cast off into the county's largest natural lake. Whichever site you choose to visit, you'll enjoy a peaceful break immersed in a beautiful natural environment, with plenty of extra activities and on-site cafe/bars to keep you entertained and refreshed.
All three campsites permit camping and touring, with glamping and rental accommodation on offer too if you fancy indulging in an extra luxurious stay!
Dorset
Lyons Gate Holiday Park
Hidden in Dorset's rolling green hills is this quiet campsite, offering a tranquil environment in which to relax - and, of course, to fish.
There are four well-stocked lakes at Lyons Gate Holiday Park, offering a challenge for beginners and experienced anglers alike. In the site's reception is a bait and tackle shop where the staff are more than happy to help those new to the hobby get to grips with their kit - it's just one reason why this campsite consistently gets five-star reviews.
Choose between touring pitches or rented static caravans when visiting, and holiday homes are available to buy, too. There's a woodland walk to enjoy at this dog-friendly campsite, finishing in a beautiful orchard that stands directly outside the rented accommodation.
With Dorset's beautiful coastline and seaside towns just a short drive away, there's plenty of reasons to visit Lyons Gate!
