Camping in the United Kingdom: what to know
Season
Many campsites open from March or Easter to October, and some all year. School summer holidays (late July to early September) and bank holiday weekends are the busiest times.
Wild camping
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, wild camping needs the landowner’s permission. The exception is parts of Dartmoor National Park, where the Supreme Court confirmed the right to wild camp in 2025. In Scotland, the Outdoor Access Code allows responsible wild camping with a tent on most unenclosed land. Around Loch Lomond you need a permit in the camping management zones from March to September.
With a motorhome
There is no general right to sleep in a vehicle by the roadside, and many car parks and lay-bys forbid overnight stays. Scotland’s access rights do not cover vehicles either. Many pubs, farms and some councils offer motorhome stopovers. Some rural roads are narrow, so check height and width limits.
Rules vary by region and may change. Always check current local regulations and signs before you travel.
