Fully serviced pitches with access to paid 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.

Liked Nice quiet site. Nice position. The showers were hot and powerful and lots of space to get changed.

Disliked The toilets could have been better monitored. Toilet roll was all gone by the end of the weekend.

Would never go back, much better places with camping available!

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Fishing on Friday afternoon was OK.

Disliked Toilets and showers were disgusting and not cleaned all weekend, shower head broken in one of the showers.
All the lakes near the campsite were booked for matches which meant you had to drag your kit across thd site to the lake by the entrance, access to the lake is difficult due to steep banks.
I paid up front for both days fishing but anyone fishing on Saturday would have done so for free.

From the manager: Hi, thank you for your recent review.

we apologise about the toilet blocks we aim to check them 3 times a day but it seems this hasn't been done, which I am more than happy to pass this along to the team as we aim to make sure everything is perfect for everyone's stay.
On our website you can view our matches to avoid disappointment, and there is always the option to move to the lakes that are closets to the campsite after the matches finish.

We have a bailiff going round checking tickets amongst other jobs that are to be completed on the fishery so there is a possibility of not seeing them come round as much as what you are expecting but I can assure you they are checking that everyone has paid.
But we kindly ask that you not call our staff members a "wacky backy baliff" as it is completely defamatory and could put their job at risk.

The campsite feels spacious and it’s very picturesque with the fishing lakes.…

Liked The campsite feels spacious and it’s very picturesque with the fishing lakes.
Shop and cafe were very handy too.

Disliked Toilets and showers.
This was the second time we’ve stayed here this summer and both weekend the toilet and showers on the campsite weren’t cleaned. No toilet roll, bugs, flies and spiders everywhere and dirty floors. The rest of the fisheries and campsite was lovely but this lets them down massively and don’t think we’ll return again because of it.

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).
