Melbury has always had a locked carpark for as long as ive known. You can still access the lake by foot though.

not sure If its still on a day ticket but I used to fish Clovelly county club lake, I never saw another soul on there, this was years ago when I used to live in Bude.
Bude canal is good for a few carp but not very carp friendly, used to be 1 rod only and no bivvy until sunset and down before sunrise, things might have changed now.
upper and lower tamar.
there is also carp in the river that runs next to the canal maybe some surprises in there as no one fished for them

Not sure where you have sorted out to fish, but I would recommend Stafford Moor in Devon. Just caught up on this thread and do not wish to comment on some of the recommendations! Very difficult to find a good carp fishery in the South West of the UK, I have been carp fishing for over 55 years (UK and France) restarted fishing in the UK just 2 years ago, tried a few venues down here but only 1 ticks my boxes!
