The Oaks lakes at Sessay in North Yorkshire is home to lakes for both match and pleasure fishing. The lakes originally opened in 1994 starting with the Willows lake and over the years it has steadily grown. We currently have 10 lakes with over 400 Pegs, a large café, tackle shop and this year we will be opening a caravan Park in a quiet corner of the lakes so that everyone can come and enjoy the North's most well-known fishing complex.

The 4-acre field is rectangular with a mature wood running along the North West side providing shelter and privacy from the fishing lakes, the North east side faces the Hambleton Hills and the white horse.

A small peaceful, adults only, touring caravan park with supersized hard standing pitches all with their own electrical hook-up, situated in a quiet corner of the fishery but with easy access to the lakes and facilities. Next door to the tackle shop is the Oaks Lakes Cafe which is open everyday, serving cooked breakfasts, bacon sandwiches, panini's, soups, homemade cakes, ice creams and hot and cold drinks.

The Oaks Lakes sit to the North end of the village and are screened with woodland and hedges there are 10 fishing lakes used for many course fishing competitions and featured regularly in the leading angling magazines. The whole area teams with places to go, whether you want to Walk, Cycle or Drive there is plenty to do here is a few: 18 miles away is the ancient walled City of York straight down the A19 approx 35 Minutes. 3 miles will take you to the market town of Thirsk, with its interesting James Herriott Museum. Castle Howard sits thirteen miles from us in the pretty market town of Helmsley.

Cheap and cheerful

Over all the site is very good. Clean and tidy. The toilet block is nice enough, but not fancy. The push button showers are a bit hit and miss one worked well the other only lasted 6 seconds and the water temperature wasn’t stable. I stayed for the fishing and enjoyed myself. However, for someone not into fishing the site might be a bit boring. Would highly recommend for anglers.

Poor customer service - no dogs allowed

Booked and paid deposit - was on my way there when I noticed no dogs allowed - called the site and explained I had not seen this previously - very abrupt response from the owner who said no refund of the £45 paid or even an offer to change our booking timE - we appreciate this was the bank holiday weekend but we have never experienced a site not allowing dogs - customer service was very poor - we will not be booking again

Nice quiet site

Peaceful site and at only 7 minuets or so drive to Thirsk a good location, well spaced hardstanding level pitches, the facilities were well kept and clean and if you are a fisherman (which I'm not) an ideal location to indulge your passion, a very enjoyable few days and would no hesitate to stay again when in the area.

Not as good as it was last time

Quarterman, J - 28/08/2026

We have been coming for a few years but after a gap of a couple of years we decided to return. It wasn't the same as it used to be. Toilets weren't cleaned the 3 days we were there bins over flowing, no toilet roll, outdoor bins full. More staff required not just to collect fishing money and to double check they had paid later each day. Noise until 1.30am I know that isn't the owner's fault but maybe put signs up with a noise time limit not just on the website.

5 star fishing venue

Wild, John - 25/08/2026

Love this place. Friendly owners who work hard to deliver a 5 star holiday and fishing venue.The lakes are a joy ,easy access well stocked and a tackle / bait shop onside. Day tickets available at bankside and the owner is always happy to offer tips to get the best of your peg.The campsite is great too. Well kept with large pitches, Adult only and No dogs allowed.What a refreshing change to be free of noisy miss behaved dogs that foul every fixture and fitting.Great toilet block again well maintained and clean.For me the only reason I gave it 4 stars was I feel the showers are cramped and only two available.Although the owners are updating things regularly. A new addition this year two lovely shepherd huts.Keep up the good work your doing great 👍

Thanks for your help Sarah 👍

Great site,basic but clean toilets/showers.Lovely surroundings,so worth another trip.Only downside was visiting the onsite cafe,met by staff who were incapable of a warm reply to any question (the fishermen queuing in front of us even joked about the sullen reception).Had a breakfast,stone cold tomatoes,politely mentioned ,tomatoes removed from plate and replaced by the smallest tinned tomato I've ever seen.Shame because the cafe was ideally placed but won't be using again.Sarah was brilliant,swapped us over to a camping pod for final night.
