Sumners Ponds Fishery
Sumners Ponds Fishery and Campsite is situated 10 minutes away from Horsham town centre so it is pretty easy
to stock up before fishing. This popular fishing venue is made up of 5 fishing lakes / ponds.
Sumners Ponds is a day ticket fishery offering 4.5 acres of well stocked water in two ponds.
The smaller of the two ponds is one of the most prolific in the area and is ideal for well behaved youngsters,
as there are always oportunities to catch, whatever the weather! There is plenty to interest the serious angler
here too with Carp to 24lbs and an abundance of Roach, Rudd, Perch, Chubb and Tench.
The larger pond has the bigger fish with a large number of doubles and twenties, with the largest around 36lb.
There are some fine Chub and Tench to be had along with some good sized Bream and Perch. Roach to 2lb can be
found in both lakes.
There are lake-side camping, glamping, pods and lodges facilities available with views over the water, so ideal for the whole
family. Sumners have installed a shower and washing/WC block which offers ample space and high quality
washing facilities. There is a new on-site shop and cafe selling hot and cold snacks, ice creams, drinks, bait
and sundries and direct access to many acres of woodland walks on footpaths and cycle ways. There is also direct
footpath access to Barns Green Village with its pub and well stocked post office and shop.
Please note: the largest of the 5 lakes is no longer a day ticket water, anglers must have
lakeside accommodation or pitch unless you are a member.
Sumners Ponds are open all year round.

Catch Report
"lovely caravan and camping park"
"This is a lovely caravan and camping park. We have stayed here 3 times now and won't be the last time.
It's got a lovely cafe and resturant. Sometimes they have entertainment and the food is really good.
People come from round the area for afternoon teas, lunches and evening meals. The family that run this park
are a nice friendly family. The fishing lakes are nice even to sit having a drink round the lake is nice on a
sunny day. The toilet block is perfect the best we have been to and we have a caravan and have been to alot of
caravan parks
We have been to Somners Ponds twice this year and thinking of going back in september. Its a working farm so
there are animals there."
"don't fish this place, I WANT IT ALL FOR MYSELF!"
"Don't fish this place, it is no good what so ever, the fish are tiddlers, the accomodation is bad
the people are all horrible, and the smell from the farm is bad..
(I WANT IT ALL FOR MYSELF!) Don't tell anyone how good it is please."
