Swallow’s Hide is another of our fantastic Safari Tents and unlike any other camping experience. Situated on the bank of the Sumners Lake the views through the fully opening bi-fold doors are superb!
The tent itself can sleep a family of four between two bedrooms but is also perfect for couples. The master bedroom comes with a double bed and the second bedroom a set of bunk beds. All the bed linen is supplied.
The living area is furnished with a sofa, tub chair, fold-up dining table and benches and a large log burner. A “smart” satellite television with catch-up services and free Wi-Fi
Also in the living area is a well equipped kitchen complete with, an oven, hob, fridge, sink, microwave and plenty of storage space. Cooking equipment, glassware, crockery and cutlery are all provided.
In the surprisingly spacious bathroom you will find a shower, flushing toilet, towel rail, sink and light-up mirror.
Outside you will find a large BBQ, picnic bench, bait and tackle storage shed complete with its own bait fridge and two lounge chairs perfect for enjoying the view.
There is a private veranda overlooking the Sumners Lake and is ideal for fishing or just relaxing and taking it all in.
Use of electric and gas is inclusive, and all the bed linen and towels are provided. Guests will need to bring their own washing up liquid, bin bags etc
Fishing on Sumners Lake from your platform is included within your stay. Guests are welcome to fish the other lakes which are near-by but will need to purchase a day ticket.
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 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.

The tent was so well equipped! I packed bin bags, tea towels, washing up liquid, tea, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper but it was all there for us on arrival. The beds were so comfy and the tent felt so homely and warm. Perfect celebration for my husband’s 50th birthday.

We stayed in Swallows Hide which was lovely, up to date accomodation with a fishing deck & stunning views. Very dog friendly too (We had 3 dachshunds with us).The service we received throughout our stay was first class & we are looking to return next year.Only feedback for consideration is the beds and seating in the tent we're not particularly comfortable but perfectly fine for a couple of nights.

Superb in every way from the warm welcome from staff, home made cake etc. Very clean, excellent facilities. Good, if not challenging fishing in the main lake..Coming back next year!

Staff are amazing. Allowed us to check in early as accommodation was ready. Had a slight problem with the lights, that we did not notice till after the office had shut. But as soon as I rang the bell there was someone there to help. Would recommend an upgrade of the mattress in the double room. We have stayed in some of the other lodges a few times and the mattress in them are fantastic. Struggled to sleep on this one. Loved the cake, bread, milk etc that is left for guests. Will be back soon.
