17:30 update
Sussex police have taken all the tents including the large marquee.
Someone locked onto the pole of the marquee confused around 50 police for a good hour. Eventually they had to lock-off because police were talking about dismantling the marquee, which would have been extremely dangerous for the locked-on protester.
There are reports that there are still people up in the trees on the site.

Two people have been arrested for aggravated trespass at Fishersgate, the second EDO factory where a rooftop demonstration happened this morning. The arrestees are currently being held at Worthing Police Station.
A Critical Mass, 'Bikes not Bombs' is just about to depart from the Level in Brighton.
Despite this minor setback, actions will continue against the Brighton bomb builders, and Smash EDO are calling for people to come to Brighton and participate in actions against EDO.
"Every bomb that is dropped, every bullet that is fired in the name of this war of terror has to be made somewhere. And wherever that is, it can be RESISTED"

Either of those is lighter than a tent to carry and with a couple of walking poles (or two suitably spaced trees) and some para cord you have an instant shelter than can be dis/assembled in minutes. With the poles used as uprights you can camp up anywhere you can get your pegs secured.
The poncho also has the advantage of being an item of clothing (and 100% waterproof if kept in order).
I'd recommend getting a suitable bit of heavy weight groundsheet from a camping suppliers (the bigger one often have rolls of the stuff that can be cut to size).
The same can also be achieved with a lightweight nylon groundsheet (so long as it has eyelets) which is the cheapest option (but as some will already know tarps have limited durability).
If you really want to push the boat out then search for 'bivvy bag'. 2nd hand MoD ones usually go for around £50.
Make sure you wash anything 2nd hand you buy (according to instructions) and avoid the risk of scabies.
So:
1 poncho or basha
1 bit of heavy duty groundsheet to keep your sleeping bag dry
Suitable length of parachute cord (to tie to corners and pegs (and between trees if that your thing!))
4 tent pegs
2 walking poles if you want maximum possibility of camping where you like or can predict what the tree availability will be.
That'll fit into a little bag easily and isn't obvious to the plod.
Optional:
1 Goretex bivvy bag if you want to be able to sleep out comfortably in all adverse weather conditions (not usually needed in the summer) with least possibility of a wet sleeping bag.
And don't forget "I have the right to responsibly access this land".
