Campsites With Fishing

Reel in the big catch at these campsites, where fishing is available onsite or just a short stroll away. From tranquil fishing lakes to bubbling rivers passing through, these are the best campsites for those wanting to cast a line, sit back, and enjoy the great outdoors.

As for locations, there are campsites all over the UK that offer fantastic fishing. From the dark waters of the famed Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, to a small and peaceful fishing lake on our Veryan Club Site in Truro, there’s a fishing campsite for everyone.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, we want your on-site fishing experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Each fishing spot will have its own rules, but here are some general tips to help you and everyone else enjoy your time by the water. 

• Stay vigilant near the water’s edge and wear sturdy footwear. While riverbanks and lakeside fishing spots may be maintained, erosion can happen, and you should take care near the water’s edge.
• Check the weather forecast each day and dress appropriately.
• Look after local wildlife by keeping rods and bait in sight and by using non-toxic weights.
• Do your bit for the environment by using bins to dispose of any rubbish or by carrying rubbish with you until you find an appropriate disposal point.
• Using barless or micro barb hooks has been shown to increase the survival rate of fish after release. Therefore, we prefer the use of barbless hooks while fishing at our campsites.
• Reel fish in until you can pick it up with your hand, keeping the fish in the water for as long as possible. Try to prevent the fish from struggling and jumping as much as possible to prevent exhaustion.
• When you do handle fish, do so with wet hands to prevent damaging their scales.
• Hold fish firmly so they can’t shake free.
• Please release fish back into the water gently, causing minimal disruption.
