Nursery Fishing Lakes And Caravan Site is a small fishing venue with caravan and motorhome pitches at Ellingham, just outside Bungay on the Norfolk and Suffolk border. It sits on Old Yarmouth Road, roughly two miles from Bungay and about four from Beccles, which puts the Waveney valley and the southern edge of the Norfolk Broads within an easy drive. Pitches are grass with electric hook-up, and the reason to come is the lake rather than the pitches: this is an angling venue that happens to take vans, not a touring park that happens to have water. That tells you most of what you need to know about who it suits. If your idea of a good trip is waking up, walking a few yards and putting a rod out, Nursery Fishing Lakes will do you nicely. If you want tent camping, a play area, a bar or any kind of evening entertainment, look elsewhere, and note there are no tent pitches here at all. Dogs are welcome on leads, the site is listed as open all year, and there are pubs within walking or cycling distance in Ellingham and Bungay. One caveat before you plan a trip: the operator website is no longer live and the site does not currently appear on the Caravan and Motorhome Club list of Certificated Locations near Bungay, so phone ahead to confirm it is trading, what it costs and whether you need to be a member.
No, this is a caravan and motorhome site and there are no tent pitches. Pitches are on grass with electric hook-up. If you are looking to camp under canvas near Bungay you will need to find a different site in the Waveney valley.
Are dogs allowed at Nursery Fishing Lakes?
Yes, dogs are welcome and must be kept on a lead around the site. That matters more than usual here given the lake and the anglers pitched around it, so keep your dog close to your own pitch and under control at all times.
Do the pitches have electric hook-up?
Yes, the pitches have electric hook-up. Beyond that, expect a simple grass field alongside the fishing lake rather than a full facility touring park. Confirm the current setup by phone before you travel, as the site no longer has a working website to check details against.
Do you need to be a club member to stay?
This is unconfirmed. The site has been listed as a Caravan and Motorhome Club Certificated Location, which would mean members only and five vans maximum, but it does not currently appear on the Club's list of Certificated Locations near Bungay. Ring ahead to check before booking.
Is Nursery Fishing Lakes open all year?
Yes, the site is listed as open all year. That listing has not been confirmed against a live operator source, because the website is no longer working, so treat the dates as a starting point and phone the site to confirm it is trading before you set off.
Where is Nursery Fishing Lakes and what is nearby?
