Campsites with fishing in Fernworthy Forest

·

Set in the heart of Fernworthy Forest, camping here means waking up to misty mornings and casting a line before breakfast. With over 780 fishing-friendly campsites in this area, you’ll find pitches tucked between pines, beside quiet lakes, and along winding rivers. Average nights run about £80, but you can snag a spot for as little as £9. Facilities like toilets, showers, and pet-friendly policies are common, making it easy to settle in and focus on the real draw—fishing, wildlife-watching, and trails that meander deep into the woods. Locals rate Brig's Farm (66 reviews), Westland Farm (46 reviews), and Goren Farm (46 reviews) for their quiet spots and easy access to the water. Don’t forget a sturdy rod and a pair of boots—the banks can get muddy after a rain, and you’ll want to explore beyond your pitch.

St Kew, England · 86 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go swimming before breakfast in the clear water of a secluded lake. Cook your bacon and eggs over an open fire while you plan your day, or just laze it away in the peace and quiet of your own personal tipi. You can always go fishing tomorrow, and walk along the cliffs the day after that… The site is a unique woodland valley folded around a clear, spring-fed lake created from the old Tregildrans Quarry. Our tipis and tent pitches are dotted about this secret 20 acres full of ferns, bluebells, oak and meadowsweet. Left in peace for many years there's been no modern chemicals or poisons on the land, meaning we've got bluebells, dormice, Red Admirals and shy woodland Jays for you to spot. It’s a place set apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about in a boat. We're committed to giving you a genuinely individual service from first contact to your time staying with us. We established CTH in 1996. This was the first and we believe still is the best tipi holiday site in the UK. We know our area inside out and can always help with local knowledge or contacts if you need them. We want to offer our guests a sustainable holiday. A return to real camping means the lowest possible impact on the land and environment - our tipi poles don’t even break the surface of the earth. Your footprint while here could only be bettered by a survival expert. You don't have to fly! a major bonus, and we source all our wood, fish and canvas locally and work with local people wherever possible.
