Can I go Glamping in Worthing?

[KatyMac]

Do they have beds in them?

I have been googling for hours.....& then when I find a site I don't understand the booking

No, but you can in East Sussex

shameless plug...

there isn't much 'glam' about worthing? nice promenade though for strolling along , ice cream optional!?

Gee thanks

I know but we have to go,I'm trying to incorporate a holiday & a work trip

You could do the holiday bit by staying in Brighton.

Mybe I'd have to drive him to & from Worthing each day or be without the car

If we went to Worthing we might go by train rather than drive

The Brighton-Worthing morning commute can be quite horrible. OTOH you don't need the car in Brighton.

Is there some where in Ferring? or northbrooke Titnore Way

Sumners Ponds is about a 20 main drive away from Worthing towards Horsham. Nicer drive than Worthing-Brighton. Has camping pods and a nice cafe, walkable to nice village pub. There is a caravan park at Titnore Lane but you would still need a car really (and presumably a caravan!)

I just want somewhere nice just to 'be'; while he goes off to his conference

Or there is a Travelodge on the seafront and if the weather is good Worthing beach knocks spots off Brighton, especially for little ones at mid-tide when there is loads of sand to play in and lots of safe, shallow paddling.

The Travelodge is dire. Or was, about 2 years ago.

Sumners Ponds looks nice - bit further than I wanted but I'm sure I'll cope

It is dire - we stay there every year & I can't wait to leave

The windows never open/close properly, it's very noisy, the bathrooms have always been uber-basic

How about west wittering? There's a lovely sandy beach there

Is there somewhere nice/cheap to stay there

I actually don't mind Worthing it's the Travelodge I'm trying to avoid

But I rest at weekends (even if I'm away) so I want somewhere nice just to 'be' I wondered about a bell-tent/yurt as DH can't really 'camp' because of his chest; I have to say I'm loving those 'pods'

I have never been in the Travelodge so sorry for the poor recommendation. I have stayed in a pod at Sumners Pond. Very cosy, even in February when we were there.

Cheep I think it's understandable. Travelidges in other locations are ok. This one is just salubrious.

No problem - it's just the worst Travelodge I have ever stayed at - it was awful!!

& we stay in Travelodges all over the country

glamping in arundel. I haven't been here, but very close to worthing, lovely to wander around in arundel

Arundel is lovely

It looks amazing but I want the wrong part of the week (Thurs-Mon) so I'd have to book a whole week (Fri-Fri) which is expensive

Still cogitating

Blackberry Woods is lovely, up near Ditchling though so you'd need to do the commute from there, not sure what that is like. I go to BW when I just want to sit outside of my tent for a few days with knitting and puzzles but they have glamping too.

That's a bit expensive at £127 a night for the wooden thingie

I think a pod would be better for DH - he's not allowed to 'camp' as he mustn't sleep on the ground, so the Pod might be OK

I thought Glamping might be OK as they often have beds

Commute Ditchling to Worthing is doable. I reckon 30 mins in rush hour along A27 although depends where in Worthing and what time you leave. DH does Ditchling all the way to Chichester in under an hour leaving at 7.30 - leave it to 8 and it's a bit longer. I'm local to Ditchling so can give you recs on things to do, and have a friend who camped at blackberry wood and enjoyed it :)
