Hey, me and a few mates are planning on going to Camber Sands for a few days camping, but I just had a few questions that I would love to have answered:
1. Can you legally camp on Camber Sands? If so, is there a limit to the amount of tents you can erect on the beach?
2. Can you light fires on Camber Sands or have BBQs on the beach (they'll only be small)?
Thanks for your time :D
Answer
Hi, Camber Sands is really nice. Lovely all round there. I've moved away up north now but I still get there at times on family visits.
You can't camp on the sands but you can put up a beach shelter and use a small tent for a beach shelter.
If you're caught sleeping in it at night that's your concern.You might get away with a warning but you could be in for a court appearance so weigh it up yourself.....
You can't have fires, however small. The fines even for small fires can be very big so don't risk it.
You can use disposable BBQs with proper safety and care, or a camp stove so long as you don't interfere with other people's enjoyment of the beach which means keeping enough distance between your kitchen arrangements and odours and other people.
There is a very good camp site at Camber Sands with decent facilities and a lot of space. It gets very popular so getting a booking at this time of the year at short notice isn't easy. Also, nearly all camp sites don't like groups of young people and it can be impossible to find a place that will accept a group of under-25s even.
If you are all under 18 just forget all about getting a booking at a camp site in the UK or in most of Europe..
No camp sites are really cheap these days and sometimes a B&B or a backpacker hostel can be cheaper than putting up a tent on a camp site.

Wild camping ( not on a site) isn't a great idea around Rye and the rest of the south east coast. It isn't the kind of country were you can get away nicely hidden somewhere and if you get caught you can be in big trouble.
I've camped wild all over the UK and round the world but the south east and southern coasts are not good for it in most areas.
There is one beach though in Sussex where you can have small fires...small ones.
On Brighton beach there are often a load of students and others who have all-night beach parties.
It's fun on Brighton beach at night and there's enough space under the pier to sleep a hundred people when the rain comes calling.
I've slept under there a few times.
Some small tents are on the beach sometimes and sometimes people sleep in them.
Sometimes they are convenient hidey holes doubling as hotel rooms for social activities of the reciprocating kind with whoever you just fell for at some party or other.
Brighton is a bit err, sociable that way. Take care if you get caught up in party fever after a few beers or vodkas on the beach.
You don't know where people have been. Or what they brought back with them
Gatwick airport is just up the rail track a few miles, with direct trains all day to Brighton. I use them every few weeks

If you have your own tents there is a camp site at Postern Hill in the really beautiful Savernake Forest, near Marlborough, Wiltshire www.campingintheforest.co.uk/england/postern-hill-campsite
