The lowdown

  • This is a family-run campsite, managed by Andrew and his family. Proper handy if you fancy combining a few casts with a quiet camping break.
  • The Avon here is described as having a gentle flow. That gives the stretch a calm, unspoiled feel rather than anything wild or pushy.
  • The fishing page names bream, chub, tench and pike. Dace are also mentioned by the operator, so there’s a bit of variety in the water.
  • No length or peg count is published, so expect an informal campsite stretch rather than a marked-out ticket fishery.
  • There’s no published fishing-specific rule list. Best bet is to speak to Andrew or the family when you arrive and keep things tidy around the camping field.
  • The site is south-facing, with a cooling breeze coming off the river. Handy on a warm day, though it could make presentation a bit lively if the breeze gets up.
  • Kayaks and canoes launch straight from the field, and the water is also described as suitable for paddleboarding. Keep an eye out for other river users.
  • Nature is a big part of the draw. Deer visit the river, while kingfishers, cuckoos and woodpeckers are regularly seen around the site.
  • The campsite is seasonal, generally opening around May and closing around October depending on the weather. Three pubs are within walking distance too — bob on after a session.
  • There’s drinking water and an ELSan wastewater point, but no electricity. Campfires are allowed, making this a cracking simple riverside base.

Methods: The gentle flow should suit a relaxed session, with trotting or a feeder approach worth considering where conditions allow. Check the swim and fishing arrangements with Andrew’s family on arrival, as no detailed angling layout is published.

Key rules

    Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
