Yo!

I'm intending to bbq at East Coast Park.. I've already booked the bbq pit there but problem is, when I apply for the tent pitching permit, there's no "space" at that bbq area...

I was wondering, can I just pitch the tent somewhere near the bbq pit without a permit?

Or any other solutions? Thanks!

Yes you can.

You just need to pray hard that they are not doing spot checks on that day and you will be fine.

Oh, and if there are a number of people 'tenting' there, join them. It is good to be caught together than to be caught alone, because you could then use the excuse that you didn't know you needed a permit to camp there as many people are also camping there.

On legal issues, if you can't book a certain area for tent pitching, that means you are not allowed to set up a tent there.

mascrat SG

haha.

That means the place i apply for is the only place i can pitch tent at la?

I can't just pitch it beside the bbq pit hor?

There is a reason why they do not allow you to tent beside bbq pitches.

They do not want you to burn your tent down.

mascrat SG

Ohh...

Problem: Currently, my tent area and the bbq area quite far apart sia.

Well, even so, I am afriad there is nothing you can do.

Afterall, the law is the law.

You could try the unorthodox method I offered you earlier though.

mascrat SG

Hmm.. true true.

No choice lor.. I'll just walk? hahahhaha

Thanks forbiddensinner and others!

It use to be that you do not need a permit for weekends. But you will need one now, as the rules have been changed.

Like that really no fun liao.

But what defines pinching a tent since tents nowadays dont have to be pitched. Just open the bonings and Wa lah! you got shelter.

Can put in a inflated airbed and put down some nettings to keep out mosquito. And its light weight enough to be carried here and there.

how many days do I have to get a permit in advance?

It's such a pain in the ass. Dammit.

Rednano SG

y pay for tent permits when u can just buy a cheaper yet strong hammocks to tie between trees...

ShrodingersCat SG

Which brings me to ask - hey I heard hammocks now banned in the parks?!

Cos of tree damage or whatever.

If you don't hammock in a park - WHERE else do y ou hammock?!!

1 day in advance if you are applying online.

If you are using the AXS machine, I don't think you will need to apply in advance. You can apply on the same day you planned to set up your tent, as long as there are booking slots left.
