Fishing Glamping With Night Fishing and Carp Over 30lb
Bell tents at Hunters Lodge Fishery in Elsham, North Lincolnshire, next to three specimen carp lakes holding fish over 30lb and a silver fish lake. Night fishing is allowed on every lake and there is a tackle shop and café on site.
For carp anglers who don't need a lodge: specimen lakes, night fishing and a bell tent. Three specimen carp lakes, Willows, Kestrel and Kingfisher, hold fish over 30lb, with a 32lb 9oz record on Kestrel, and night fishing is allowed on all four lakes. The accommodation is bell tents with proper beds, not lodges, with a shower block a short walk away. It suits carp anglers who want to fish long sessions and keep costs down.
Good for
- Carp anglers after a Lincolnshire thirty
- Night fishing sessions
- Anglers happy to glamp rather than stay in a lodge
Think twice if
- You want a lodge or en-suite: showers are in a separate block
- You want a quiet lake at short notice: specimen lakes take a maximum of six anglers and are booked online
Pre-book your lake
Willows, Kestrel and Kingfisher are booked online through LakeBookings, with a maximum of six anglers on a lake at a time.

What a Stay at Hunters Lodge Is Like
Hunters Lodge Fishery is on Church Street in Elsham, a village in the Lincolnshire Wolds about eight miles from the Humber Bridge. It is a four-lake fishery with bell tent glamping rather than lodges.
The bell tents come set up before you arrive: Lumiere and Cogsworth sleep four in a double and two singles, and Philippe sleeps six in three doubles. A newly fitted shower and toilet block is about five minutes' walk away, with another toilet near the tents and a washing up area. The minimum stay is two nights.
Night fishing is allowed on all four lakes.
The fishing is the draw. Willows, Kestrel and Kingfisher are specimen carp lakes with fish over 30lb, and Kestrel's record is 32lb 9oz. Heron is the silver fish lake, with small carp, ide, rudd, bream, barbel, tench, roach and chub. Night fishing is allowed on all of them, and the café serves breakfast, sandwiches and coffee.
