The Haven fishing experience

Lovely lakes

There are 13 lakes spread across nine of our holiday parks, with three additional lakes at Far Grange and Hafan y Môr exclusive to our owners, who also enjoy free access to every lake. You can also swim across all of our lakes.

Go fish!

There's plenty of fish to catch in our lakes, among bream, chud, pike, perch, roach, common and golden rudd as well as tench. There are also common, crucian and mirror carp. Species vary by park, but we’ve seen some fish reach a massive 30lb!

Types of fishing

On a Haven site, you can try your hand at coarse, freshwater and specimen angling from March to November. Facilities vary park-to-park with most having a catch-and-release policy, but some will let you keep your haul until the end of the day before you weigh it and set it free.

You can bring your own equipment or rent rods, reels, and bait from our hiring service before heading down to the lake. Find out more about where you can hire in our park list below.
