Petition Action

Introduce the legal right to wild camp responsibly in England’s national parks

Petition Details

By introducing a legal right to wild camp in England’s national parks, it would enable the public to enjoy those areas which are less accessible. Guidelines for responsible wild camping should be established, which include leave no trace principles, encouraging good practice.

Additional Information

Connecting with nature has numerous mental and physical benefits. Currently wild camping requires consent of the land owner yet many tolerate it in national parks without consent. The majority of wild campers are discrete, camp in remote areas and respect the landscape by leaving no trace.
With the current cost of living crisis, it is even more important that the public have the ability to enjoy our stunning national parks more, responsibly and without fees.
