Self-Drive Holidays
The DreamLake Complex, consisting of six mature, tree- lined lakes offers excellent carp and catfish angling on either our Inclusive Package or Voyage Self-Drive basis. Currently five of the lakes are open, the sixth housing a huge number of stock fish, ensuring future growth and development. We aim to provide our anglers with the highest quality French carp fishing holiday.

Offering the size and numbers of carp you would never hope to find in any English water, the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful Champagne countryside only serve to enhance the DreamLake Experience. DreamLakes 3, 4 and 5 are able to offer a great experience for anglers who want to do their own pioneering in France.

Only four hours drive from Calais, and with the advantage of knowing that there is always someone on hand to give expert help and advice, you have the freedom to enjoy some really impressive ‘all action style’ carp angling.

Shop & Facilities
On-site you will find a small shop in addition to the shower/toilet facilities and will benefit from the exclusive services of a DreamLake Bailiff. Should you wish, your P&O Ferry or EuroTunnel crossing, equipment hire, travel insurance, bait, and breakfast/evening meals can be arranged for you prior to departure.

Complementing the services available, and located at the DreamLake Lodge (adjacent to DL2) is our air-conditioned Restaurant, Shop and Tackle Hire Centre, payphone and TV, as well as further shower/toilet facilities. Rods, reels, bedchairs, mats, nets and buzzers are all available for hire prior to departure whilst bait, leads, marker floats, braid, hooklinks and a wide range of other useful tackle items are stocked on-site.

In addition you will find confectionery, beers, wine, phone cards, aspirin, Coleman fuel/gas, batteries, films and various other sundry items including our top quality DreamLake T-shirts, sweat-shirts and caps.

Bailiffs
Finally, our trained Bailiffs are there to ensure the success of your DreamLake holiday. All are skilful anglers and possess a wealth of angling experience. They are happy to help and pleased to offer guidance and assistance. Please make sure that you take advantage of their knowledge and make your DreamLake holiday a ‘dream come true’.

Bait
For the best results from your holiday I strongly recommend our DreamLake Specials. They are used every week and are more than just an attractive bait... they are also part of the carps' staple diet and as a result are not treated with suspicion.
We have proved week after week that the more anglers who use DreamLake Specials, the better the overall results. You are only there for one week at a time, so don't leave anything to chance!

All equipment hire must be arranged and paid for prior to departure. A refundable hire deposit of £25 per item is required. Damage incurred may result in the loss of some or all of the hire deposit.

Passports & Travel Times
All British holidaymakers should ensure that they hold a Full Ten Year British Passport with a validity of at least 3 months beyond the travel date. Non British subjects should consult their Embassy for information on possible Visa requirements.
