Can you still camp off-grid in the UK? Or is wild camping becoming impossible?
In this video, we head to South Wales to find out if it’s still possible to escape the crowds and discover a truly remote, off-grid camping spot. With more height barriers, overnight parking bans, and busy van life locations than ever before, finding quiet places to stay in the UK is getting harder.
After exploring the stunning Pembrokeshire coastline, including the famous Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy, we leave the coast behind and drive deep into the mountains. Using a private off-grid camping site, we test whether you can still experience true solitude in the UK — away from campsites, crowds, and restrictions.
Along the way, we take on narrow mountain tracks, get stuck in the mud, and set up camp in one of the most peaceful valleys we’ve ever stayed in.
So… is off-grid camping still possible in the UK?
