- Pitches for CAMC members, 15 minutes' drive from Bewl Water
- Well-maintained grounds near the High Weald National Landscape
- Bar and restaurant with homemade food; fishing for an additional fee
Fishing, homemade food and a location just outside of the High Weald National Landscape? If those three points have you nodding yes, you sure will like the sound of Pittlands Lakes Certificated Location. With pitches for Caravan and Motorhome Club members only, the well-maintained grounds play host to a friendly bar and restaurant, multiple fishing lakes, a playground and a dog-walking area.
At this site, it doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced angler or looking to give your kids their first introduction to fishing. As well as having excellent lakes for experienced folks, there is an additional lake suitable for kids and beginners; a short pole or net can also be hired directly from the site. Just take note that all fishing activities are subject to an additional fee.
Fishing can be hungry work, so it's also convenient that Pittlands Lakes Certificated Location has an on-site bar and restaurant that serves delicious homemade food, including full English breakfasts and Sunday roasts. Its outdoor dining area has been set up to overlook the lakes, so you always have a scenic spot to tuck into some food on bright days.
If you need anything else – snacks perhaps – there are shops and restaurants in Marden and Paddock Wood, which are both within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Down south is the High Weald National Landscape and stunning locations like Bewl Water and Scotney Castle (both of these are within 15 minutes’ drive of the site). The coast, including Hastings, is a 50-minute drive away from base.

Local attractions
If heritage sites are your sort of thing, this is quite a handy base. The National Trust’s Scotney Castle (15 minutes’ drive) has medieval castle ruins with a moat, a Victorian mansion and stunning, green parkland. That should be the makings of a grand day out, indeed.
There are plenty of other historic sites scattered around the High Weald National Landscape to the south of the site, including Bayham Old Abbey (15 minutes), Hever Castle & Gardens (35 minutes) and Bodiam Castle (half an hour).
Sissinghurst Castle Garden (25 minutes) is not quite in the National Landscape, but it's another splendid spot. The house belonged to writer Vita Sackville-West, and visitors can stroll around the writing room, the garden and library just as she used to.
Families shouldn’t overlook Bewl Water (15 minutes), especially if they want to be able to take their pick from a range of outdoor activities. The lake has a cycle hire station, walking and cycling trails and, conveniently for those who want to get out onto the water, an aqua park and watersports activities like paddleboarding, kayaking and windsurfing.
