Beach camping in West Sussex

·

In West Sussex, you’ll find over 30 beach camping spots where the sound of waves sets the pace. Pitch your tent near dunes or tucked behind wind-bent oaks. Prices start at £17 a night, with an average around £69. Toilets, showers, and pet-friendly sites are common, so you won’t have to rough it. Swimming, wildlife-watching, and horseback-riding top the to-do list. Check out Fox Wood Campsite - under the oaks (23 reviews) for secluded pitches under ancient trees, Woodfire at Westerlands (10 reviews) for big skies and easy walks, or try Skoolie Stays (1 review) for something a bit different. Most sites are a quick drive from pebbled beaches and coastal trails. Bring a windbreak, pack your swimmers, and leave only your footprints—rubbish bins are at most sites, but it’s polite to tidy up after yourself.
