Holiday Park of the Month – Three Ponds Holiday Park

When choosing the perfect location for your holiday home, it’s about so much more than the caravan itself. The right holiday park creates a place where you can truly unwind, enjoy nature, and make lasting memories with family and friends.

This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Three Ponds Holiday Park, a beautiful owner-occupied park nestled in the heart of the South Downs in East Sussex. Combining peaceful countryside living with excellent facilities and easy access to some of the South Coast’s most popular destinations, it’s easy to see why this family-run park has become such a sought-after location for static caravan owners.

A Peaceful Retreat in the South Downs

Located in South Heighton, near Newhaven, Three Ponds Holiday Park offers a tranquil escape surrounded by rolling countryside, picturesque lakes and abundant wildlife. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing weekend away or regular holidays throughout the season, the park provides a genuine “home from home” atmosphere.

Unlike many larger holiday parks, Three Ponds is exclusively owner-occupied. This creates a welcoming community where owners can enjoy a quieter environment without the bustle of short-term holiday lets. Every pitch also benefits from its own enclosed garden, giving owners valuable outdoor space to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Family Run with Award-Winning Standards

Originally transformed from a tired park into the stunning retreat it is today by David and Joanne Barlow, Three Ponds remains proudly family-owned and operated. Their son Matthew now continues the family’s vision, maintaining the park’s commitment to exceptional standards, conservation and customer care.

The park has built an excellent reputation not only for its beautifully maintained grounds but also for its focus on preserving the natural environment, making it an ideal destination for those who appreciate wildlife and green open spaces.

Facilities Designed for Relaxation

Life at Three Ponds centres around enjoying the outdoors.

The park’s three well-stocked fishing lakes are a particular highlight, offering opportunities for anglers of all abilities. Residents can spend peaceful afternoons fishing for carp, tench, perch and other coarse fish, while simply strolling around the lakes is equally enjoyable.

Families are also well catered for with:

• Children’s play area and football court
• Picnic and BBQ areas
• Laundry facilities
• Caravan storage
• Beautiful lakeside walks
• Direct access to the South Downs walking routes

Whether you enjoy an active lifestyle or simply prefer to relax with a coffee overlooking the water, the park offers the perfect balance.

Explore the Best of East Sussex

One of Three Ponds’ greatest advantages is its location.

The park enjoys direct access to the spectacular South Downs National Park, making it ideal for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. Beyond the countryside, owners are just a short drive or bus ride from some of Sussex’s most popular destinations.

Nearby attractions include:

• Brighton and its famous seafront, independent shops and restaurants
• Historic Lewes with its castle, boutique shopping and traditional pubs
• Eastbourne’s elegant promenade and beaches
• The iconic Seven Sisters cliffs
• Cuckmere Haven and its breathtaking coastal scenery
• Newhaven Marina and ferry connections to France

With excellent transport links by both road and rail, it’s an ideal base for exploring everything East Sussex has to offer.
