About Pondside Glamping

In the south of the High Weald National Landscape, about 10 minutes from the East Sussex coast, Pondside Glamping offers a peaceful retreat mixing countryside calm with easy beach access. This tiny family-run site clusters a handful of well-spaced bell tents around a sheltered grass field—each comes with an ice box, stove and kettle, while shared loos and showers sit close by. Wheelbarrows help ferry luggage from the car park, keeping the set-up fuss-free.

A public footpath runs straight from the site through horse-dotted fields, perfect for stretching legs or walking the dog (well-behaved pups welcome year-round). Despite the rural feel, you're only two minutes from a couple of pubs, a butcher and a tea room, or five minutes to Hastings' supermarkets. Beaches lie within easy reach—Hastings and Winchelsea are 10 minutes away, Camber Sands about 25—making this a handy base for families and motorcyclists chasing both coast and countryside without the crowds.
