Petition Action

Make Wild Camping legal across the UK

Petition Details

Extend the Land Reform Act of 2003 to England and Wales to allow wild camping in any unenclosed area.

Additional Information

Wild camping is a civil offense in England and Wales unless the permission of the landowner has been granted. However, with most woodland, moors, and other such areas, who owns the land, and how to contact them is very unclear.

However, the Land Reform Act of 2003 allows camping in almost any unenclosed area in Scotland, granted the area is left how it is found.

Wild camping is often regarded as the best way to escape to feel free and grounded, with little reason it shouldn't be legal.
