Can you wild camp in Yorkshire?

A scenic view of Yorkshire

Wild camping is not generally permitted in Yorkshire, as most of the land is privately owned or part of designated areas such as national parks. However, there are some exceptions. Wild camping is allowed in certain areas of the North York Moors National Park, particularly in remote, higher altitude locations. It is important to follow the "Leave No Trace" principles and seek permission from the landowner if possible.

Alternatively, you can consider staying at established campsites in Yorkshire, which offer a range of facilities and amenities. You can find a variety of campsites in Yorkshire on Hipcamp.
