Fully serviced pitches with access to fishing lakes
Around 30 minutes’ drive from Warwick, Birmingham and Leicester
Café, wheelchair accessible facilities, parent and baby washroom

Would waking up and walking just a few feet for a spot of fishing be something of a holiday win for you? And how about finding that around 30 minutes by car from Warwick, Birmingham and Leicester? At Makins Lakes, in the village of Bramcote and 10 minutes’ drive from the Warwickshire town of Nuneaton, your pitch won’t just be close to a peaceful peg, you’ll also have a long list of Heart of England holiday highlights close by. Of course, the lakes on site aren’t just for the enjoyment of anglers. Being by the water brings a peaceful feel to all the pitches. There are views over the Warwickshire countryside too, but this isn’t a middle-of-nowhere kind of place. Each pitch is hooked up with electric and water access points. The shower and toilet block have accessible areas for disabled guests and there’s also a family-friendly parent and baby washroom. There’s an on-site café and bait shop and if you can’t bear to leave the lakeside, they’ll even deliver food out to you so you need not stop fishing all day. When you’re ready to rest your rod for a bit, it’s a 25-minute drive to catch a bit of culture in Coventry (UK City of Culture 2021) or 40 minutes to Stratford-upon-Avon, the must-see town for all things Shakespeare.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The peace and quiet, ignore people that say you can hear the M69, it’s a very dull background noise.
The walks around the fishing lakes were beautiful, after the fishermen have gone. The site was clean and the facilities toilets and showers all worked adequately.

Disliked: Nothing

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Plenty of pools

Disliked: Electric hook ups are an absolute disgrace falling apart , that's if they work at all,
Nothing to do what so ever, Cafe only open until 2pm, so don't go unless you are into fishing, just for reference if using Sat Nav don't just put in post code or you will end up on M69, Which then tells you have reached destination, looking around we found the camp site runs right along the said motorway. Needless to say constant traffic noise was both day and night. Having reached camp site eventually, the receptionist told us being sent on M69 happens on a regular basis

Natalie P. Apr 2025

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Site was a good size with separate field for electric and non electric pitches. Toilets were cleaned regularly, although I didn't use the showers they were a good size and in their own rooms with space to get changed in and hooks for clothes/towel. Entrance
was a gate with code that closed in the evening making it feel safe

Disliked: There wasn't anything I would say I disliked but I would say that there's a few things I would add.. a drinking water tap in/nearer the non electric field and to not have the chemical disposal next to the washing up area.

Local attractions

If you’re in the mood for a quiet picnic or woodland stroll, Coombe Abbey Country Park (15 minutes’ drive) is a 500-acre parkland made for whiling away a day outdoors. There’s also a play area, zip lining and climbing forest if the family’s up for an active day. Or you could always try out the angling here too if your break really is all about fishing. Entertaining the kids shouldn’t be too tricky around these parts either. Immerse yourself fully in the medieval world of dungeons, knights and princesses, jousting and falconry with a visit to Warwick Castle (35 minutes). Or scream if you wanna go faster at Drayton Manor Theme Park, home to rollercoasters, Thomas Land and a 15-acre zoo. Animal antics of all kinds are also order of the day at Twycross Zoo (30 minutes).
