With 38 holiday parks across England, you'll find a range of fishing-friendly destinations with comfortable accommodation, including caravans, lodges and holiday homes, many close to lakes or fishing water.

Coarse fishing at Haven
Seven of our eight parks with lakes are for coarse or freshwater fishing, where you can catch plenty of bream, carp, perch and roach as well as other species. Kent Coast, Golden Sands, Primrose Valley and Thornwick Bay are catch and release, with the rest of the parks allowing you to net your fish which you could weigh at the end of the day. Take a look at our image gallery to see how many swims each lake has and what specific fish you'll be hoping to catch.
