Wild Camping seems to have really taken off in the UK recently, but what is Wild Camping, and is it legal in the UK?<\/p>\n
What is Wild Camping?<\/h3>\n
Many people have different opinions on the definition of Wild Camping; the term is very loose and is often interpreted differently.\u00a0 You may have heard it called stealth camping, off-grid camping or bush camping.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\nMost people would agree though, that in general the true meaning involves sleeping in a tent somewhere in the wilderness, ie not on a campground.\u00a0 Some people will go even more extreme and sleep in a hammock or a bivvy, while others will claim that their campervan\/roof tent park up is Wild Camping.<\/p>\n
Whatever your definition, there’s a real sense of escape and adventure in Wild Camping which seems to be appealing to many people right now.<\/p>\n
Is Wild Camping legal in the UK?<\/h3>\n
There are actually only a couple of places in the UK where Wild Camping is legal; Scotland and Dartmoor in the South West of England.\u00a0 It is important to note that the right to Wild Camp in Scotland and on Dartmoor does not<\/b> extend to vehicle camping.\u00a0 Overuse and damage to the landscape has also caused the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park to introduce camping bans in certain areas and a permit system in others.<\/p>\n In the rest of the UK, most of the land is privately owned and the only legal way to camp is with the permission of the landowner or in a registered campsite.<\/p>\n If Dartmoor or Scotland are too far away, or if you want to camp in a vehicle thankfully there are lots of other options that can give you the feeling of wild camping without hours of research into land ownership and requesting permission.\u00a0 Here are a few of our favourites:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you haven’t used HipCamp before use the referral link above for \u00a310 off your first stay.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Greener Camping Club is a members club which licences over 160 small eco-friendly camping and glamping sites across England and Wales.\u00a0 Membership costs just \u00a312\/year.<\/p>\nSo how can I find wild places to camp?<\/h3>\n
