Enhanced fishing experience at Riverside Holiday Village

Discover river and lake fishing at Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare

Visitors to Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare will be able to enjoy an enhanced fishing experience at our award-winning holiday park and campsite this spring.


Work is currently underway to place more than 20 new jetties along the bank of the River Axe, which flows through our new campsite. We are also expanding the man-made fishing lake and raising the riverbank to help protect against flooding.


These new jetties will provide safe access to the river and the abundance of fish species that call it home. The River Axe is a fertile river, generously stocked with roach, perch, chub, pike, carp and eels.


If you are staying with us, fishing is free, passes are available from reception. However, you must have a fishing licence. If you are not staying with us, day passes are available to purchase from reception.

On another sunny morning this April, volunteers from Riverside Holiday Village, Edithmead Leisure and Park Homes, Fairways Holiday Park and New House Farm headed out on our third 2-mile 'litter pick' along Bridgwater Road in Weston-super-Mare. We managed to collect 14 sacks of litter, plus several broken road signs and a damaged car tyre! As usual, energy drink cans were by far the biggest offender, closely followed by discarded alcohol bottles and fast food takeaway wrappers. We even found a discarded wet floor sign! All waste was collected by our waste management partner, MJ Church. Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030. We would like to say a massive 'thank you' to all of our volunteers - we're planning another 'clean' this September - please keep a lookout for more updates about future events!
