Can you wild camp in UK national parks?

In the UK, wild camping is generally not allowed in most national parks without permission from the landowner. There are, however, a few exceptions:

1. Dartmoor National Park in England allows wild camping in certain areas, as long as campers follow the Dartmoor Wild Camping Code.

2. In Scotland, wild camping is permitted under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code in most undeveloped areas, including the Cairngorms and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Parks. However, there are some areas with seasonal camping restrictions, such as the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park's Camping Management Zones, where you must camp within designated areas or obtain a permit.

It is always important to follow the principles of Leave No Trace and respect the environment when wild camping. If you prefer designated camping areas, many national parks in the UK offer campgrounds and caravan sites, such as those found in the Lake District, including Ullswater.
