A length of string attached to the bikes and the other to your big toe when settled in for the night.
Is this what they mean when they say "toeing the line?"

For E bike removable Batteries keep them in the tent.
I'd lock the bikes up near to the campsite buildings /fence/tree and camp as close as possible with usual bike security precautions.
I also have 5m cable lock the I loop through the bikes and put under the tent so if you start pulling the bikes it disturbs the sleeper.
I'd also speak to your insurers and find out what they demand.... meet those requirements and sleep easy and let them worry.
I find campsite folk usually pretty honest and community minded. Mosy I've ever had stolen at a campsite is a bottle of detergent / shampoo that I left behind at the facilities.
Thanks for sharing that, very helpful. I will be getting insurance sorted and make sure I meet what they specify.

If you aren't yet insured. Consider adding it to Home and Contents. I Find it without exception a faff, but cheaper than a bespoke policy (non ebike).
But shop around the policies for the more and least onerous & sensible terms.
If in doubt contact the insurer and ask for clarification before buying.
Have you cyclecamped before?I’m planning the first overnight camping trip with my e bike. I’m looking at Weymouth (UK) and I’ll need a campsite with electricity to charge the bike. It’ll be me, my partner, two bikes and a tent. Could anyone share how you secure your bikes?

Far more like 'bike thefts on campsites simply cannot compete against bike muggings for headlines'.
That's a fair point but I think there's more to it than that for many.
When it comes to having built ones bike having chosen every single part carefully, they're not so easy to simply replace. Then there's the gut wrenching feeling when you discover your bike isn't where you left it and especially when put camping...how the hell do you get home if no one's around with the means to pick you up?
What if you're not insured? Not everyone is.
Whilst it is indeed an inanimate object, they are to many people more than just a bike. For me personally, it's a means of keeping my depression from completely taking over and means I no longer have to use the incredibly s**t UK public transport system ram packed with noisy inconsiderate a**holes to get about. This is a hundred times worse when you're an introvert.
