Bring your rod to Janson Fishery Caravan and Camping in Elton near Nottingham for angling days aplenty, in peaceful and green surroundings within the Vale of Belvoir National Landscape. This is an excellent spot for anglers, with a full five lakes on site (three match and two pleasure). Bag your day ticket to cast off in one of the pleasure lakes including Tomo's Lake, with carp into double figures as well as barbel, tench, roach, rudd and golden orfe all to land, and Donut Pool, a mixed lake with ide, barbel and again carp up to double figures. There are regular match days at least twice a week too (booking for these is essential), and all types of anglers will find all types of kit and bait needed in the well-stocked tackle shop. The lakeside café is open from Tuesday to Sunday for sandwiches, breakfasts and hot and cold drinks; the adjacent bar opens on Fridays (6pm-10.30pm) and Saturdays (11am-10.30pm) for refreshing drinks, and it hosts a quiz or bingo night most Saturdays. At other times, pick up self-catering supplies close by in Bingham: barbecues are allowed on site. Janson Fishery Caravan and Camping has toilets, showers and a chemical disposal facility.

What customers say

This is a chill, spick-and-span, adults-only spot with spotless amenities. Mates rave about the friendly, helpful staff and cracking fishing across heaps of lakes. Lots mention the peaceful vibe and clean showers. A few noted occasional road noise, and some had issues with not enough loos/showers when it was chockers. A little cafe and tackle shop's on-site.

Liked All requirements catered for and lovely pitch beside one of the fishing lakes. Easy to locate. Cafe and shop (mainly fishing tackle) on site although I didn't have a chance to use either.
Great field adjacent to exercise the dog (apart from some sharp thistles!)

Disliked Shower a little grimy. Slightly noisy pitch near the road.
