The 28-day camping rule in Wales refers to a regulation that allows landowners to permit camping on their land for up to 28 days per year without needing to obtain planning permission. This rule is applicable to both tents and caravans. It is important to note that the landowner must still comply with other relevant regulations and laws, such as environmental protection and public health. The 28-day rule is a convenient way for landowners to offer temporary camping options, and for campers to enjoy a variety of camping experiences in Wales.
