Hi

did my first couple of days wild camping (on my own - absouloutley loved it and found a gem of a location

Suddenly the whole thing of owning a camper made 100% sense

located in an isolated car park between the beach and the sand dunes of a nature reserve, with adjacent cafe / modern/clean toilets u can use 24 hrs and only a half hour from brighton

google west bay nature reserve to find it.

its where the river arun meets the sea nr littlehampton.

I assume you all familiar with radar keys ?? ???

We used to go to climping alot but I thought that they had put up height barriers and patrol it to stop overnighting

Yes Jed

- there are the height barriers jed, but my devon skylight sneaks under them without a worry

Perhaps you should forego the macho image of a 4XW with its chunky and tall slippers (tyres) and accept the lower ride height of a carrige more suited to you station in life

Suggest a westy in hearing aid brown
?

Do you know the height of the barrier Matt?

does that mean you need a Radar key to access the facilities?

Hi

AM camping there again on saturday evening so willconfirm barrier height next week

The facilities are behind the visitors center but only the mens and womens are locked overnight

as regards a radar key for the acessable loos - you can get a key from your local council ot google radar...

or a wide conventional flat screwdriver will avail you of the facilities here and uk wide (leave them as you find them) as the radar l;ocks can be opened in case of emergency

happy camping !

Matt - You might have company Saturday!

I was thinking about coming down there after your recommendation.

Wife is not so keen on Wild Camping but I'd rather be somewhere lovely and wild rather than parked between two white plastic caravan and a view of the "club house".

And this is why I don't post my special little sites...

just got back from climping

no hasstle and can recommend this as a good spot - bear in mind iits my first one so nothing to compare it with.

If anyone tries it hope youenjoy it

I made a note of barrier height which I will post later as its in the van

Matt

matt, I must have found the wrong place!

We went down the road with the Black Horse in it, past Baliffscourt Hotel and there is a car park, cafe and toilets at the bottom. The car park is £1 an hour (height barrier is 2.25m) and you collect a ticket on the way in.

Car park is locked at 8pm and there are "no camping" signs. Although I guess you could park on the road outside the car park after 8pm (in fact lots of people were packing there all day despite the parking restrictions).

As it happens we were treating ourself to a meal out as it was a wet day and so we spoke to the landlord at the Black Horse and parked in his car park overnight.

It's a nice spot though. Sunday we walked the dog down to Middleton.

Was that you in the car park with a pale Blue van and white roof?

Not me

Mines dark brown n cream devon

Hope you enjoyed your trip

The post code gets you there via sat nav - passing the Littlehampton golf club

Barrier height 2.06m

Matt

Yes a good trip and although not the same place was an ideal spot to wild camp. Love waking up next to the sea, kicking myself that I didn't go straight in for a swim!

Maybe next weekend - Southwold in Suffolk. Another chance for a bit of wild camping, great beer and a dash to the sea in the morning
