We have just booked to go to http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=2819

and are interested to dabble in a little bit of fishing while we are there , Has anyone been and my question is , How much are the permits per day (ish )

Hubby has fished in the past , I have held a rod once lol so a bit naive on all of it

thanks in advance

Hey, fellow anglers! I've never been there but anywhere you can fish must be gr8!

Have a gr8 time -you jammy beggars and at least now your sad blue face will have gone.

lol thanks for getting rid of the blue face

I do have a slight problem with this fishing lark , I wont be able to put anything that wiggles on the hook and i wont be able to touch the fish if caught

So think thats hubbys job whilst i get comfty with a book and a choccy bar

Hi,

We have recently returned from 2 weeks at Cofton. I don't fish and have no idea what a permit cost, but I would like to make a general comment about the site...

Although there was a new fecilities block nearing construction, there were no where near enough showers or toilets. There were only 2 chemical disposal points, both being quite a walk from our pitch. The pool could not contend with the number of people using it on a nice day. The lifeguard had to clear the pool of all inflatables one afternoon. Although there was a dedicated football area, some teenagers still wanted to play in the pool area.

It looked to me like to owner was expanding the number of pitches at a fast rate, but expanding the facilities at a slower rate.

Also the beach at Dawlish Warren, which is the nearest and could be walked to, is nothing special, likewise other beaches in the area.

I have read reports that this site is much better than Lady's Mile down the road, I dread to think what that's like.

Hello

We are going for the second time this year in September.  Really like the site. Very clean and well looked after.  We have been 3 times in the past two years.  My Hubby fishes there and in May the permits were either £25 or £30 per week for 2 rods.  The biggest fish he caught was a 16 pounder but there are bigger ones in there so we have been told.  Only 3 weeks and will be there again.  Not that I'm counting or anything.
