Whether you’re unwinding by your pitch, casting a line, or strolling beside the lakes, Carney Pools offers a refreshing and easy-going summer atmosphere.
A Scenic, Waterside Setting
🎣 Lakeside Atmosphere
Carney Pools is known for its tranquil fishing lakes, creating a calm and picturesque backdrop for camping. Expect:
Open grassy pitches
Waterside views
A peaceful, nature-filled environment
It’s a lovely spot for anglers and non-anglers alike, with plenty of space to relax and soak up the summer surroundings.

Multiple stocked fishing pools
Well-maintained pegs
A variety of coarse fish species

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or simply enjoy a quiet few hours by the water, the fishing facilities are a real bonus. It’s the perfect chance to bring your gear and enjoy a relaxing session without ever leaving the campsite.
