Glamping at Sumners Ponds Fishery and Campsite in West Sussex is a unique and beautiful spot set in tranquil countryside amongst 100 acres of lakes, woodland and pasture.
The campsite itself boasts high quality campsite facilities, acres of woodland, a working farm and fishing lakes. All this in a beautiful and secluded setting which is perfect for just relaxing, or for the more active, exploring the many footpaths and safe cycle-ways within and around the site.
Sumners Ponds is an ideal touring base, with many beautiful towns and villages near by. Access to the South Downs National Park and the coast is easy, while Brighton is only half an hour by car and London only one hour away. There really is something for everyone.
The Cafe by the Lake is our restaurant and bar which is open to both those staying on site and the general public. We aim to provide the highest standard of food and service.
When you arrive the Smith family and the team will be here to ensure that your glamping break in West Sussex is as enjoyable as possible. We look forward to welcoming you.
The purpose built self catering holiday Norwegian log cabin stands overlooking the Sumners Lake which is well stocked with Carp to and around 36lb, Perch, Tench, Roach Chub, Bream and Pike, providing excellent course fishing. Guests are also welcome to fish the other lakes which are near-by. All cabin residents are welcome to use all of the other facilities on site at Sumners Ponds Fishery & Campsite.
The cabin is light and spacious, tastefully furnished, fully equipped to a high standard. Use of electric and gas is inclusive as wall as bed linen for all beds and sofa beds. Towels are not provided so guest will need to bring their own as well as washing up liquid, bin bags etc.
Two well behaved dogs are welcome at each cabin so you can enjoy a dog-friendly glamping break in West Sussex at a charge of £20 each per week.

We were pleasantly surprised by how much nicer it was in the lodge than we had expected from the photos. The balcony and swim are directly outside the lodge and even though there were quite a few people around there they have cleverly situated it with trees and a fence to make it feel completely private. We've stayed at a few fisheries and this place was spotlessly clean, which was so important at this time. The lodge was well appointed and very comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a short break. The views from Grebe were terrific - we had lovely sunrises, sunshine, fog and rain and for my wife (who doesn't fish) it was the perfect space to read and write. Also, the owner mentioned to us that he is renovating the lodge which we can't wait to see - we will definitely be back next year. Also, we had takeaway from their Cafe by the Lake and it was tasty, good value and they provided generous serves. One thing we really appreciated was the good water pressure in the shower. The staff were friendly and helpful and couldn't have been more careful about Covid both in the cafe and cleaning the lodge before our arrival. All in all, I'd strongly recommend Sumners for a break for families and couples. Thanks Sumners Team!

Grebe lodge was very good, the only problem as far as we were concerned was the double decks due to the fact that we have mobility problems last year we stayed in Morgan lodge which was much easier, it would be an idea to put this information in your brochure.

Mr J Hollands - Stayed with partner, Jan 2020
Enjoyed our time at Sumners Ponds. I came for the fishing that was OK. No carp out of Sumners Pond but it will always be hard in January. Accomodation was comfortable and warm. Washing facilities would like a proper shower, rather than one that feeds off the bath... Enjoyed our time at Sumners Ponds. I came for the fishing that was OK. No carp out of Sumners Pond but it will always be hard in January. Accomodation was comfortable and warm. Washing facilities would like a proper shower, rather than one that feeds off the bath taps. Excellent, will come again.
