Wild camping spots

Free, off-grid pitches in nature β€” no facilities, just you and the view. Leave no trace.

Wild camping is the purest form of van life β€” a free, off-grid pitch with nothing between you and the view. It's legal and celebrated in some places (Scotland's access laws) and restricted in others, so it lives or dies on respect: arrive self-contained, light no fires, and leave absolutely no trace. These are the spots for waking up somewhere wild and utterly your own.

We list 5 wild camping spots across 5 regions, 5 of them free.
