UK Camping & Motorhome Guides – Your Practical Hub

Welcome to the UK tag page. If you love hitting the road, pitching a tent on a beach, or just figuring out where you can stay overnight, you’re in the right place. Here you’ll find easy‑to‑follow advice on everything from beach camping rules to motorhome basics.

Essential UK Camping Rules

First things first – know the law. Wild camping is mostly illegal in England and Wales, but Scotland’s Outdoor Access Code lets you camp on most land as long as you follow a few simple rules. In England you can still camp on many public parks and designated sites; just check local signs or ask the council. Beach camping is a hot topic – some Scottish beaches allow it, while most English coasts have strict bylaws. Always look for signs that mention "no overnight camping" or fines.

When you find a spot, keep a low profile. Set up after sunset, leave before sunrise, and clean up every piece of litter. Respect the environment – don’t build fires where it’s banned, and stay away from protected wildlife areas. These habits keep you safe from fines and help preserve the scenery for the next camper.

Motorhome Tips for UK Roads

Driving a motorhome in the UK is a great way to see the countryside, but there are a few quirks. Most UK motorways have a 12‑ton weight limit, so check your vehicle’s weight before hitting the motorway. Watch for low bridges, especially in older towns – a quick online map check can save you a crash.

When you need a place to park overnight, look for official motorhome pitches, caravan sites, or welcome points that allow motorhomes. Some supermarkets and service stations let you stay for a few hours, but always ask the staff first. Remember to use the built‑in toilet responsibly – many sites require you to empty the tank at a dump point.

Safety matters on the road. Keep a first‑aid kit, spare wheel, and extra lights handy. If you’re travelling in winter, check your anti‑freeze levels and carry chains for snowy stretches in the north. A simple check of tyre pressure before each long drive can prevent breakdowns.

Beyond rules and road tips, this page pulls together a mix of articles that cover everything you need. Want to know if you can pitch a tent in a public park?
