Welcome to Sumners Ponds, an award winning Fishery and Campsite set in the glorious countryside of West Sussex.

Our campsite can accommodate caravans, motorhomes, campervans, tents and trailer tents across the four camping areas at Sumners Ponds. All the pitches on Bluebell Park, Ribbon Park and Sumners Park have electric hook-up and are a mixture of gravel (hardstanding) and grass. The Rally Field, our non-electric area is open at weekends through the summer months and is for tents only for back-to-basic camping.

Sumners Ponds is home to four lakeside lodges, each with its own character and charm, enjoying an enviable setting with their own private fishing veranda. These superb log cabins boast fantastic views over the beautiful Sumners lake and offer a paradise to fishermen and nature lovers alike.

Our four purpose built self catering holiday cabins stand 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. Fishing from the lodges is included with your stay. However guests are also welcome to fish the other lakes which are near-by providing they have purchased a fishing Day Ticket. All lodge residents are welcome to use all of the other facilities on site.

Sumners Ponds is home to four quirky and beautiful handcrafted Shepherd’s Huts which can accommodate up to two people in each. They’re perfect for a quick stop over and a romantic few nights away and are all situated in the Sumners Park area of the site so have superb views across the Sumners Lake and Farm Pond. Best of all this accommodation is run on a B&B basis so breakfast at The Cafe by the Lake is included each morning! Please note that the Lakeside Shepherd’s Huts are not suitable for fishing.

Our Safari Tent, Swallow’s Hide really is the ultimate in luxury camping and perfect for those who want to ‘ease themselves into camping’! Situated on the bank of the Sumners Lake the outlook and atmosphere is unrivalled. The Safari Tent can accommodate up to four people across two bedrooms so is ideally for small families especially nature lovers and anglers.

The original glamping accommodation, Camping Pods are perfect for those that want the camping experience but don’t want to set up and then take down a tent. Plus you have comforts such as lockable door, heating, lighting and electricity. Our pods are otherwise unfurnished so you need to bring all your camping equipment with you such as bedding. This means you can set your Camping Pod is whatever format works for you. The Lakeside Pods are ideal for fishing too!

Sumners Ponds is an ideal touring base, with many beautiful towns and villages near by. Access to the South Downs 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.

Very helpful staff, clean and tidy site, very good facilities (café was free great!). Beautiful woodland on campsite, amazing walks in surrounding areas. Loved that we had a tap for water on our plot. Only disadvantage was the shower temp and pressure as we were camping on a cold weekend I really wanted a very hot shower but apart from that we loved the campsite and will definitely be back!

The site itself is still nice, but beware of the building works affecting the access road.We got stuck on the way in and out.The road is only half the width due to the houses being built where the cowshed and overflow car park used to be.Getting in was a nightmare, as there were so many cars and vans coming out, we were blocking the road.On the way out , my Husband got out of the car , to see if there was traffic coming in. Good job he did, it took us ages to get out. Mainly what looked like people arriving for a coffee, and delivery drivers.Then when we got to the road, I had to pull right out to be able to see the road ahead, because the width of the exit was restricted, due to the building work.I also felt, that there was little instruction regarding entrance and exit points. We felt as though as paying Customers, we were let down.We didn't know about the works, as we booked a while ago.Come on Sumners, you have a duty of care, it wasn't good enough.

We were not bothered by the renovations being completed at the entrance - no impact at all on our long weekend break. We love Sumners Pond for the peace, scenic walks ( and nearby villages) and excellent on site facilities.

We found the site extremely well maintained, peaceful and offering excellent facilities.Local pub has live music ( we’ve been lucky on each trip so far) great classic pub food ) and Billingshurst is a quaint traditional village a short drive away. We found the on-site cafe - excellent and plan to try out their late afternoon menu in future.A great site for a cheeky quick weekend away for us.

The cafe could open for longer and def for dinner … outside washing up areas had no plugs …fishing was good with lots of easy access swims .. lovely clean facilities but not sure why you would need cubicles with just sinks ? Showers good but maybe instructions how to use them once you know you wave your hand it’s easy …

The site is lovely with good facilities, the cafe is very nice. Only downside is the mess around the building work.

Fantastic stay, nice little pod, clean facilities and well stocked lakes. The only thing is they do not allow campfires 🔥

Disapointed

I have stayed at Sumner ponds many times over the last 30 years and was surprised. At the state of surfaces in car park and paths around the whole camp site . My wife found it very difficult to get about as she uses a walking aid .I realise that there is a lot of work going on at entrance to site but when we paid£40 + and it wasn't fully serviced pitch we found it to be expensive considering every thing.Terry wood

Enjoyed our 4 night stay there recently. Showers could better if they ran for longer and were a hotter, other than that very happy
