Camping

In my mind, we do 3 types of camps:

1) Camping just to camp (heading to a beautiful spot just to escape the city)

2) Camping for convenience (pitching up somewhere so that you can start a nearby hike early the next day)

3) Camping for a challenge (summit camping!)

In all the years we've been camping, I can only really think of 2 times i've camped just to camp... so (2) and (3) are definitely my go-tos!

90% of the time when we camp, we are wild camping, but there are a couple of sites i've been to and loved (listed here). I've also listed out all the places we have summit camped here.

What is wild camping? In a nutshell, it is camping anywhere outside of a recognised campsite. That means no set pitches, no showers and no toilets - just you, nature & a shovel!

In Scotland there is 'The Access Code' which essentially means you can wild camp anywhere that isn't private land so long as you are not disturbing the view or too close to buildings/roads.
