Camber is an accreting dune system, which means the dunes are gradually getting bigger. Camber is part of the Dungeness cuspate foreland, a triangular mass of shingle formed after the last ice age. The dunes have formed within the last years and are now restricted by urban development. The dune system is wedge-shaped, 1km wide in the West tapering to 10 metres wide in the East, after a distance of 3km.
The plants are an important habitat for moths. Many scarce species have been recorded here, including:. The dunes are an important site for wintering birds.

There are also other castles found within driving distance including Bodiam, Sissinghurst and Knole.
