Millions of Britons are looking to travel abroad again, many of whom will be doing so in a caravan or motorhome. Over the pandemic, drivers fell in love with leisure vehicles again, with the industry seeing a massive boom with staycations becoming the new normal.
But now, drivers are being warned of the laws associated with travelling with a caravan, motorhome or campervan.
In England and Wales, wild camping is only legal with the land owner’s permission, with Dartmoor National Park being one exception to the rule.
However, there are plenty of nearly wild campsites to pitch up at.
In Scotland, right-to-roam laws are still in place, so it is legal to camp as long as they follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

France
Wild camping is generally tolerated in France, as long as the driver has the permission of the landowner.
Motorhome aires are particularly popular in France as they allow overnight parking in areas around the country, generally for free.
They are only for motorhomes and campervans, and are designed to encourage tourists to the area.
Portugal
In 2021, a law was introduced making wild camping, under certain conditions, legal in Portugal.
Overnight stays are allowed for no longer than 48 hours.
The law states that outside protected areas, overnight stays are allowed for a maximum period of 48 hours “in the same municipality”.
