Where in Europe can you legally wild camp?

Scotland (under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code) and much of Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Finland under allemansrätten) broadly permit responsible wild camping on uncultivated land, as do the Baltic states. In most of France, Italy, Croatia, Spain and Germany it's restricted or banned. England and Wales need landowner permission, except Dartmoor. Always check local rules first.

Is wild camping illegal in Croatia and France?

Wild camping is officially prohibited in both. Croatia enforces it strictly, especially along the coast and in national parks, with substantial fines. France bans it too, though rural areas are sometimes tolerated. In both countries the safe choice is a licensed campsite.

When is the best time to camp in Europe?

July and August have the warmest weather but the biggest crowds and prices. June and September are the sweet spot — warm, much quieter and cheaper. Alpine and northern sites generally open roughly May to September, so check dates.

Do I need a car to go camping in Europe?

For most great campsites, yes — they're rural and a car or campervan transforms the trip. Fly to a regional hub and rent a vehicle. A handful of city-access campsites are reachable by public transport.

What's the difference between a pitch and a mobile home?

A pitch is a plot where you set up your own tent, caravan or campervan. A mobile home (or glamping unit) is pre-built and furnished with beds, a kitchen and often a bathroom — you just bring your luggage. Big resorts offer both.

Do Pakistani travellers need a visa to go camping in Europe?

Yes — most destinations are in the Schengen Area, requiring a short-stay Schengen visa (currently €90 plus service fees). The UK needs its own visa. Apply early for summer trips via our visa desk.
