If you’re searching for a truly exclusive carp fishing holiday in France, Oakview Lake ticks all the boxes. Set within established, private grounds and offered on an exclusive-use basis, this intimate French carp lake delivers big fish, quality accommodation, and complete peace and quiet — the perfect combination for a memorable carp fishing escape.
Listed by Angling Paradise, Oakview Lake is ideal for anglers who value privacy, comfort, and the genuine chance of landing the fish of a lifetime.
Total Exclusivity in a Stunning French Setting
Oakview Lake is a 2½-acre carp lake available exclusively to just one booking at a time, accommodating up to four anglers. With private access and no day-ticket pressure, you can fish at your own pace and truly unwind.
Although the owners live on-site, they are not based on the lake complex itself — giving you the reassurance of support if needed, while still enjoying total exclusivity throughout your stay.
This makes Oakview particularly popular with:
- Couples
- Small groups of 2–4 anglers
- Social fishing groups looking for a relaxed, private venue
Outside of the summer months, the lodge can also be booked as accommodation-only, making it a great option for anglers and non-anglers alike.
The Lake – Intimate, Feature-Rich & Perfectly Balanced
Oakview Lake has been designed with social and individual fishing in mind.
- Four large double swims
- Swims positioned on all four banks
- A centrally placed island allowing anglers to spread out if desired
- The option to fish directly from the lodge terrace
Depths range from 3ft to 7ft, with a clay bottom lightly covered in silt and plenty of clear gravel spots. Key features include:
- The central island
- A deep bowl
- A defined trench
- Margin features all around the lake
Whether you prefer fishing tight to features or spreading rods across multiple spots, Oakview offers plenty of tactical options.
The Fish Stock – Big Carp, No Nuisance Species
Oakview Lake is packed with large, well-cared-for carp — and crucially, there are no nuisance fish.
- A strong head of carp over 40lb
- Multiple 50lb carp already recorded
- Average fish size well over 30lb
- Very few carp under 20lb
- Only other species: pike and a few small grass carp
Weekly catch reports dating back to 2009 speak volumes about the consistency of the lake. For anglers chasing a true UK PB-beating fish, April is widely regarded as the prime time, with pre-spawn conditions offering the best chance of a 50lb+ carp.
Lakeside Accommodation with Panoramic Views
Overlooking the water is a comfortable two-bedroom lodge, designed to let you fish, relax, and socialise with ease.
The lodge includes:
- Two twin bedrooms
- Sofa bed (sleeps up to 6)
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Shower room with separate WC
- TV and Wi-Fi
- Large covered wooden deck
- Panoramic lake views
Fishing directly from the terrace is not only possible — it’s one of Oakview’s standout features and a huge draw for social anglers.
