Legalise Wild Camping

Closed 77 signatures

What the petition asks

Legalise wild camping in England.
It gives more freedom to the general public that want to explore and see the beautiful English sites we have, meaning people that love hiking or going on rivers can make a longer trip by setting up camp wherever they are in the wild.
Scotland can wild camp, why can’t we?
