The moorhens pick their way through the reeds at dawn, and if you're up early enough with a flask, you'll hear the water lap against the far bank before the rest of Yorkshire stirs.

This is a quiet spot for anglers and anyone happy with simple pitches — tents and campervans both welcome, though you'll want to ask ahead if you're bringing a dog. The fishery draws regulars who know the water, and there's a gentle, unhurried feel to the place that suits couples after a low-key weekend or solo campers who've come for the fishing rather than the fanfare. You're in classic East Yorkshire countryside here, flat and green, with the kind of big skies that make you forget you're only an hour from the coast.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's worth ringing to check what's onsite before you pack. Campfires may be allowed — ask when you arrive. Expect a no-frills, peaceful pitch where the main soundtrack is birdsong and the occasional splash from the lake. If you fish, you've found your place; if you don't, bring a book and settle in.
