Fully serviced pitches with access to 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.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Excellent wide pitches, toilets and showers are really nice. Facilities overall are extremely well setup. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Disliked: Fresh water access for camper vans is not the most practical so take in advance unless you have a very long hose.

Colin S. Dec 2024

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Spacious, flat pitches. Walks around the fishing lakes. Warm, clean toilet/shower block.
Easy check in with friendly staff.

Disliked: Pot wash area needs a bit of TLC. No plugs at sinks so people use toilet paper as a plug and leave on draining board.

Elizabeth C. Oct 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Loved it, just what I needed, peace and quiet, to rest a very over worked body and mind. I also received a very warm welcome at reception. Thanks to the people that were around.
I will definitely be back, shower block lovely and warm, exactly 💯 what is needed in the winter.

Disliked: Not much loo rolls in the female toilets, many cubicles without. Caught me off guard. Luckily had clean tissue in pocket. I am sure it would have been sorted if I had informed them, but in all honesty I had forgot, as carried a spare loo roll with me just in case.

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).
