Campsite on the banks of a Canal or River ?

[g4fne]

Hi Folks.

 

I'm looking for a campsite

 

The ideal scenario is to have direct access to a canal that doesnt have a close season, that i can fish on a day ticket or for free

 

Failing that, a river or canal that does enjoy a close season & i will have to go after 16th June

 

Area - Anywhere thats within 2-3 hours of Kent.

Campsite - Small & quiet would be the ideal (just me the missus & Dog in a tent), but must have at least showers & toilets.

 

I can find very little in Kent so having to spread my wings a little.

 

Any info gratefully recieved

 

 

NB : I will also consider a stillwater as a last resort, so if anyone aware of any gems, where i can dangle my very underused waggler, i'm happy to take the info aswell

Anchor Meadow on the Warcs Avon at Harvington is nice but no showers toilets etc. Just a little before you get there though is Meadow Farm campsite which has all mod cons.A couple of sites on the Severn at both Bewdly and Hampton Loade.

 

Plenty of still water ones in SE but as you say not any good river ones I can think of and the only cannal one I know has a closed season (SSI).
