For the money they charge should have a toilet in condition and bins provided and the man on charge very arrogant and racist

A1 PITS.... all I can say is.... unless you have ALL the GEAR for CARP fishing ONLY!!! DO NOT BOTHER!!! Great info on there website... Good description of all the lakes, extensive list of rules but states nothing about being for CARP fishing only!!! Lake 1 states great for beginners because has a variety of fish and smaller carp, ideal for the type of fishing we like to do...but NO!... We were asked to leave for not having CARP fishing gear ONLY! I thought fishing was about enjoying trying to catch a variety of fish not just sticking your rods in the water in the vain hope that the fish come to you!!! So thank you for asking us to leave... we had a great day fishing elsewhere catching several fish.... and a beautiful 27lb CARP and all on our so called simple fishing gear!! Thats what 40 years experience is all about!! What a clicky unfriendly bunch you are!!
