Electric Hook-ups for the Campsite
We have our hook ups - you can probably hear the fanfare!
We are now the proud owners of eight electric hook up points - go to the campsite pages for full details and for our new terms and conditions regarding payment etc.
Dogs with well-behaved owners allowed at the campsite
We are delighted to announce that we now welcome dogs with well-behaved owners at the campsite!
Dogs must be kept on leads and are not allowed at the lakeside at any time but we also have a new dog exercise area where your dog can be let off the lead. Please clean up after your dog – a bin is provided for this purpose in the dog exercise area. We charge £1 per night per dog staying at the campsite. New Pleasure Bag Record on the North Pool
22nd May 2010 - new pleasure bag record on the North Pool: Roy Salmon used bread at the far bank to take a magnificent 210.5lb from peg 8 which included carp to 9lb.

We're delighted to feature in the Angling Times' Top 50 Stillwaters feature published in March 2010. Record fish from Rushcombe LakeLuke Nix, who has his photo on our gallery, has broken the record for the largest fish caught from Rushcombe Lake so far! Luke caught a lovely 10lb common carp on the pole with a size 16 hook and luncheon meat from the margins of peg 5. Luke had a great day and finished up with a 90lb bag of fish.
This beats the previous record held by Peter Bailey from Bristol who caught a lovely 7lb carp from peg 2 on the pole with a 10 hook, 8lb line fishing to the far bank with a mixture of pellet and bread on the hook and feeding nothing. He also had mirrors to 4lb in his 83lb bag! All this was witnessed by his wife June.
This just goes to show how much the fish have grown since we stocked the lake in 2003. Pleasure bag record broken on the Carp Lake
Congratulations to Shawn Kittridge who has broken the pleasure bag record on the Carp Lake! Shawn, a carpenter from Weston super Mare, broke the record on this lake with a huge 243lb pleasure bag, beating the previous record of 230lb set by Haydn Thompson last June. Shawn’s bag came from peg 1 and included mirrors to 12lb, crucians to 2.5lb and commons to 8lb. He fished on the pole to the left-hand margin 7 metres and 13 metres from his swim. A combination of paste and corn over 4mm pellet on a 14 hook and 4lb line with 16 elastic made it work for him. Luckily for Shawn, his haul was witnessed by his friends as they were fishing in the lake adjacent to him in the final of the Kev Perry Series. New fish, new prices
On 25th February we topped up the stock in the Match Lake and the North Pool with 10,700 new fish. We took delivery of roach to 8 inches and crucians to 6 inches from the renowned Framlingham Fisheries in Suffolk. There are some great photos on the photo gallery, click here.
For only the second time in 15 years, we have increased our prices for day tickets and season tickets. With effect from 1st April 2010 our new prices are £7 for adults and £5 for Juniors (14 & under) / OAP’s / Disabled. Season tickets are £140 for adults and £100 for concessions.
New bridge
Work has now been completed on the new bridge from the main back to the island of the Match Lake. The work was carried out by Benedict Simmons Landscaping and it looks terrific.
