'Wild' camp in Wales

Find off-grid camping spots with landowner permission

Off grid locations

Adventure off grid with a camping road trip in Wales

With rugged mountains, stunning beaches and some pretty epic national parks, we can’t get enough of Wales.

If you’re looking for breathtaking views and amazing hikes, Snowdonia has you covered. As do the huge open spaces of the Brecon Beacons National Park and craggy cliffs and hidden coves of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

And as Wales has some of the world’s darkest skies, wherever you stay in your camper truck or campervan, you’ll be surrounded by stars.

We’re all for planning your own wild and scenic itinerary, but if you want some road trip inspiration, the three Wales Way routes, taking in coastline and castles and country’s mountainous spine are a great place to start.

Can I wild camp in Wales?

Wild camping is not allowed in Wales, including Snowdonia National Park. But getting deep off-grid and finding a truly wild place to stay is more than possible if you know where to look. 

Our friends at Off Grid Camp have rounded up some of Wales’ best off-grid spots, including mountain-top pitches and rural farms with only sheep for company.

Pay to stay and you’ll get wild, remote, 4x4 awesomeness – all with the landowner’s permission.

When camping at these locations, you must agree to:

  • be self-sufficient: I will not expect toilets, bins, water or any facilities unless these luxuries (!) are offered by the individual Off Grid Camp locations.
  • leave no trace: I will take all rubbish away with me and leave no trace. Not even a rogue tissue, burnt fire mark or unnecessary tyre tracks.  
  • 'The Poo Pledge': Where no facilities are provided, I agree to bring a shovel or to have a self-contained toilet and ensure that there is no evidence of my business for future campers.  
  • drive responsibly and within your capabilities: I will liaise directly with landowners and adhere to their requests.
