Hardstanding Touring Pitch

  • 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 The lakes are beautiful, Shame about the rest.....

Disliked 😡😠🤬😤😡😠🤬😤😡😠🤬😤😡This was by far the worst place we've ever stayed at. We arrived late as planned, our pitch had been taken by someone else. Tried a number of times to contact the emergency number to no avail. We even texted the numbers given and asked them to call us back urgently due to this Problem. Eventually we knocked on the vehicle that was on our pitch to be told that their pitch had also been taken by someone else and this seemed to be a pattern going back quite a few pitched. We'd booked a fully services pitch but didn't get what we paid for. We had to pitch our caravan on the grass in the dark due to the water and electricity being so far away. We had to scramble around trying to find extensions in order for us to have power and water. We also had no waste water draining point. This was night one. Night two the power kept going off all night long which was a huge inconvenience. Everyone on site was complaining and at no point did the owners apologise for this. Night three there was a car revving their engine at 3am in the morning. As well as being incredibly close to the motorway and hearing what sounds like a formula one race track day and night, we were very happy to return home after what should have been an exciting time celebrating a birthday. I have no doubt whatsoever that the owners will probably reply to this review trying to defend themselves but this is factual. It's just a real shame that nobody replies to our text or phonecalls that first night. We were also not the only guests trying to make contact with you on Friday night either. Extremely poor customer service and absolutely NOT recommended and anyone staying here at this site do so at their own risk. 😡😠🤬😤😡😠🤬😤😡😠🤬😤

Liked Late check in was a great option for us, site was clean and tidy

Disliked The electric kept going on and off every 5 minutes on the Saturday night, we tried ringing the emergency number but there was no answer.
Road noise was quite high during the day but expected being right by the motorway.

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).
