Withy Water

About Us.

Withy Water Caravan Park & Fishing Lake was established by the Baker Family as a farm diversification business to compliment their established dairy farm business.

Withy Water Caravan Park has now matured into the ‘wildlife wonderland’ as described by the David Bellamy Gold Award.

The fishery was first established with its popularity leading people wanting to stay with us for their holidays. The natural progression was to provide a caravan site for people to come and enjoy not only the fishing Withy Water has to offer but the natural beauty of the local area and the enjoyment of other businesses and what they have to offer too!

Conservation Awards

We are very proud that we have received the David Bellamy GOLD conservation award. Achieving this award is a testament to our commitment in making sure you enjoy your stay here with us.

What is the David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award?

The David Bellamy Conservation Award Scheme is one of the longest running green tourism awards in the UK.

The idea of the scheme was first sown when Professor David Bellamy OBE gave a talk to members of the camping, caravanning and holiday home park industry in which he gave the audience members a challenge to be part of the environmental solution and not part of the problem. David was then invited to visit many parks and was amazed at the wide range of work that the most forward-thinking owners were doing for the environment.

David was so impressed that a partnership was formed between the Conservation Foundation (the environmental organisation that David co-founded to help businesses get involved in conservation) and the British Holiday & Home Parks Association to set up an award scheme.

Comments

Just returned from another visit, loved all the lovely flowers and new trees at the entrance. This site gets better every time we come. The addition of the dog off lead area is great, Daisy and Dave (our Bassetts) loved running around in there. Beverly and Jim always welcoming and the fishing is a bonus for my husband. Keep up the good work. See you again soon.

We have loved our stay here. Thank you for providing a lovely environment, especially for the dog, with the super walk and exercise area. We will see you again and next time I will bring my rod!

Very friendly tidy site. Lovely and peaceful surroundings. Showers and toilet block very clean . Excellent dog run. Helpful staff on site nothing too much trouble will definitely be coming back.

Great people, visitors and staff alike. Will be going again soon with my father who is wheelchair bound as the lake is accessible to all.

A lovely well kept site, the owners can't do enough to make your stay, the fishing was also good, I would highly recommend this site.

Nice walks nearby and a large field to walk our Labrador. Beautiful clean shower block. Close to the M5 and an ideal stopping place on the way to Cornwall.

Great place to stay, really friendly, easy access, dogs welcome and some great fishing. A few steps from the van and your on the lake edge. The surroundings are lush with loads of different plants bringing in wildlife.

Very good site friendly service and owners, dogs catered for with their own off lead field to run in. Level access for wheelchairs unfortunately toilet blocks and shower blocks not wheelchair accessible. Very peaceful and pleasant site to stay on.

It's a well organised clean site with good fishing facilities. The team here are very helpful and also very friendly. We've met some nice people on site. This is our 3rd visit and would thoroughly recommend it.

Great site, first time we have used this site but we will be doing so again, clean facilities, park well maintained and kept spotless, flower planters around the site make it very attractive and staff are very friendly.

Brilliant adults only site. The park wardens very welcoming on our arrival. Brilliant facilities. We plan on a return visit, fishing kit next time. Very good price. Couldn't find a single fault. Even Zak our border collie loved it.

Excellent service from Beverly. Booked last minute on the way home to catch up with some friends staying there. Despite being fully booked she fitted us in in the middle of the field, and even leant us a very long EHU lead. Very impressed.Lovely, charming, well kept site with very clean modern facilities and a lovely fishing lake. I had a good few carp and lots of bream and roach, very enjoyable.Would definitely return.
