The gentle splash of anglers' lines breaking the water's surface sets the rhythm at this peaceful lakeside site, where the early morning mist often clings to the surface of well-stocked fishing lakes. Nestled in the rolling Sussex countryside, Wylands combines camping with some of the region's finest coarse fishing.
This is a haven for fishing enthusiasts who want their pitch just steps from the water's edge, though non-anglers seeking tranquillity will find plenty to appreciate too. The site sits within easy reach of the South Downs National Park and historic market towns, making it an ideal base for exploring East Sussex's patchwork of fields, woodlands and quintessential villages.
Accommodation is refreshingly straightforward—bring your tent, campervan or caravan and choose your spot among the lakeside pitches. Basic facilities include toilets and showers, keeping things simple and fuss-free. The campfire policy should be confirmed when you arrive. The atmosphere is wonderfully low-key, with the focus firmly on the fishing and the countryside calm that envelops this corner of Sussex.
