Family day out near me – Fishing
Do you have fishing fanatics in the family? Or maybe someone who wants to try their hand at catching some great fish?
Our 5 fishing lakes are all slightly different to accommodate different abilities. We have Betty’s Lake and Sumner’s Lake, which is perfect for the more experienced angler, and Farm Pond, which is ideal for juniors and the less experienced angler looking to get into the sport.

Family day out near me – Dog Walk
In need of a change of scenery, and want to take your dog with you? Not only do we have our Dog Wood and The Dog Meadow, but we also have walkways meandering through the campsite and woodland areas, which also go straight onto the Downs Link!
Read our blog on cycling and walks in West Sussex here.
Our campsite is dog friendly, however, make sure to keep them on a lead within the campsite.
From our about us section: ‘We have created some picturesque walks through the woods on the farm, particularly through the bluebell season. These trails span out to miles of footpath, bridleway, and farmland. Whilst we hope that you enjoy all the footpaths on the farm, we do advise that if you have dogs or young children, you look for alternative routes to cross any fields where cattle are grazing.’
Family day out near me – Working Farm
Sumners Ponds was once a dairy farm and now, not only are we a campsite and fishery, but we are also still a working farm! We have a beef herd of around 100 cattle, and in the summer, you will be able to see them grazing out in the fields. We also have a large brood of chickens, a small flock of sheep, and 3 shetland ponies!
