I fished Cottington Lakes in 2016 and while there looked around the campsite and Cl , so this year i returned with the wobblebox and stayed on the Cl for 6 nights . The approach is quite easy and the Cl is a beautiful, large meadow close to the specimen lakes . You will need extra hookup cables if you dont want to be on top of your neibours as the hookups are all from one point in a corner of the field . All the grounds are beautifully tended and wildlife is abundant . From rabbits and squirrels to buzzards, kingfishers and muntjac deer The fishing is better then good , and in the specimen lakes there are true monsters , with carp to over 50lb , pike 20lb+ , perch 5lb+ and rudd over 2lb . For the pleasure fisherman there are several other lakes of varying difficulties , all beautifully tended . The services are all by the reception block and are clean and adequate . There is also a cafe , bar (limited opening hours) and tackle shop .The staff are all friendly and knowledgable about the site , lakes and local surroundings Nearby Sandwich is a lovely extremely old town , worth a few hours just strolling around the narrow streets and sucking up the history all around you . There are also some very fine old pubs and eateries , antiques and knick-nacks . Deal is a much larger seaside town with good shopping and a very steep pebble beach. The Coach and Horses (turn right towards sandwich) serves lovely food and the staff are absolutly lovely also The only slight downside for me is that there is a bit of road noise and the local military do occasionally low fly over the site , but this was for me a very minor gripe Whether you fish or not this is a lovely place to stay , i reccomend it
