Can you wild camp in North Devon?

Wild camping is not officially permitted in North Devon, as most of the land is privately owned or part of protected areas. In the United Kingdom, wild camping is generally only allowed in certain parts of Scotland and Dartmoor National Park. However, there are several designated campgrounds and caravan parks in North Devon, including those around Woolacombe, where you can enjoy the beautiful coastline and countryside. Always seek permission from the landowner if you wish to wild camp and follow the Leave No Trace principles to minimize your impact on the environment.

Hipcamp has the perfect pitch to match your camping style.
