What is ready on your spot

You bring your rods and your cooking gear, and everything else is already there. That way you can fish for a week without setting up camp first, and still have a shower and a fridge close by.

  • Safari tent of over 25 m²

    With Solar Tackle chairs and a table, so you can leave your own tent at home.

  • Power in the tent

    Your safari tent has electricity, so you have light and can charge your gear.

  • A boat of your own

    On every spot, with life jackets in the tent. You are welcome to bring a bait boat.

  • Unhooking mat, weigh bag and net

    They are on the spot, so no diseases come in from other waters.

  • Shower and toilet

    Clean facilities with a washbasin and a place to do the dishes.

  • Clubhouse

    With a fridge, freezer, coffee and tea.

The Hungarian carp, only here in the Netherlands

Carpdistrict was started by Jos Tilleman, who has fished all his life and has fished for carp in many European countries. The Hungarian carp always stayed with him, and that is why it now swims in Walenhoek.

That makes this lake the only place in the Netherlands where you can fish for this carp. You fish in green, quiet surroundings, close to home and without a long journey abroad.
