As wild camping (free camping) laws can vary in the UK, it pays to check in advance to find out the rules and regulations for the area you’re planning on travelling to. In England and Wales, it is illegal without prior approval, but in Scotland, for example, the laws can be much more relaxed.

Campsites are widely available in the UK, however, and are quite affordable, starting at around £12 per night. Many national parks also allow you to camp overnight. Details can be found here.

To hire a campervan in the UK or Ireland, suppliers usually require a full licence (requirements vary by company and vehicle type). A standard Category B licence (or equivalent) allows you to drive vehicles up to 3,500kg MAM. To drive heavier motorhomes, you need Category C1 (3.5–7.5t) or Category C (over 7.5t). If your licence isn’t in English, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official translation—check GOV.UK guidance and your supplier.
