Springwood Fisheries

The gentle plop of rising fish and the rustle of reeds set the tone at this waterside site, where the soft Derbyshire light reflects off well-stocked fishing lakes. Morning mist rolls across the water as anglers settle in for the day, while campers wake to views across peaceful pools fringed with wildflowers and native grasses.

This is a straightforward pitch for fishing enthusiasts and those seeking rural quiet in Central Derbyshire's gently rolling countryside. Tents, campervans and caravans are all welcomed on grass pitches beside the fishery, making it ideal for anglers wanting to maximise their time on the banks, or families after an unpretentious countryside escape. The region offers good access to the Peak District's southern reaches and Derbyshire's market towns.

Facilities are kept simple with toilets and showers provided for campers. The fishing lakes are naturally the main draw here, though it's worth checking the campfire policy on arrival if you're hoping for an evening fire. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious—a working fishery where the focus is on the water and the wildlife rather than bells and whistles.
