Willow’s Hide, is glamping at it’s finest and would tempt even the most reluctant campers. Sleeping up to 4 adults and 2 children means it is perfect for couples or families that love the camping experience but can’t live without a bit of luxury.
Perched on the bank of Sumners Lake, the outlook and atmosphere of this Safari Tent is unrivalled.
Bi-fold doors on to the decking area allow for stunning views of the lake at all times of the year. The central heating will keep you cosy and warm even in the winter months.
Inside there are two double bedrooms and one cosy “Nest” bedroom perfect for kids and accessed via a small ladder. In addition there is a large, open-plan kitchen and dining area, a cosy living area with a smart-TV, as well as a spacious and modern shower room – it’s hard to remember you’re in a tent!
The kitchen is fully kitted with fridge, cooking equipment, glassware, crockery and cutlery all provided.
Outside there is a large decking with your own tackle and bait shed, a private fishing platform, BBQ, and outside seating.
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.
PLEASE NOTE: The accommodation is situated in a bay which allows margin fishing only.

Facilities clean and tidy. Staff always friendly. Pricing getting too high. Cafe on the Lake needs to be open longer hours. Closing at three during the week with a nearly full campsite is too early. I have been staying at Sumners for the last 15 years at least and seen... Facilities clean and tidy. Staff always friendly. Pricing getting too high. Cafe on the Lake needs to be open longer hours. Closing at three during the week with a nearly full campsite is too early. I have been staying at Sumners for the last 15 years at least and seen many changes. Mostly good.

Had a lovely, relaxing stay in Willows Hide (Safari tent) for 4 nights… We all really enjoyed the welcome package! We had an issue with the fridge when we first arrived, but they were aware of it and quickly replaced it with a new one. Was very pleased to see the fountain working again on Sumners Lake as it’s makes a huge difference to the feel of the accommodation & helps to drown out a lot of noise of other people in their accommodations. They only down side to booking again is having to pay such a high deposit even when it’s for a long time away (50%) & also having the reception office staff such a big security deposit (I believe that leaving your card details should be enough - because it is hard to physically handover that amount of money to have to wait two working days to get it back as well once you’ve left.

We love the accommodation and location, in particular that you have your own decking to fish from. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The cafe on the lake is a lovely place to have lunch and some drinks, and ideal that catering trucks come onto site. We also drove to Littlehampton for the day as only a 40min drive away. We can not fault Sumner Ponds and will be back Next year :)

The kids loved the Cabin bed and fell in love with the Shetland Ponies on site. All staff were friendly and helpful and everyone enjoyed fishing off the platform attached to the Tent. Great to have its own bait and rod room. We will be back!

We live the peaceful aspect of the place, the walks that you can do, and of course the fishing. I have told many people in Horsham about Sumners, and it always amazes me how many are not aware of its existence. Perhaps a marketing campaign, in the County Times for instance, might bring your wonderful campsite to more new customers?
