ABOUT
UKSN is Built for Wild Campers
Find freedom, connection, and confidence outdoors. UKSN supports wild campers across the UK with skills, knowledge, and a like-minded community that respects nature and self-reliance.
Why UKSN is Perfect for Wild Campers
Wild camping isn’t just about sleeping under the stars — it’s about freedom, simplicity, and connecting with the land. At UKSN, we understand the balance between adventure and responsibility. Whether you’re experienced or just curious, we provide the knowledge, tools, and community to help you enjoy wild camping legally, safely, and confidently.
WHY JOIN UKSN?
Learn the Rules and the Ropes
We help you understand the legal side of wild camping in the UK and how to tread lightly — so you can camp responsibly and confidently.
Meet Others Who Get It
Wild camping can be a solo pursuit, but it doesn’t have to be lonely. Connect with others who value the peace, silence, and freedom of sleeping wild.
Improve Your Setup
From lightweight kit to stealthy pitches and Leave No Trace practices, UKSN shares knowledge that helps you camp better, lighter, and smarter.
Access Secret Meets and Woodland Nights
We host wild-style events and overnight meetups that give you a chance to explore the outdoors with others who love it as much as you do.
Go Beyond Camping
Wild camping is often the first step into wider self-reliance. UKSN also introduces you to bushcraft, navigation, weather awareness, and emergency preparedness — all useful for time off-grid.
WHAT MAKES UKSN SPECIAL?
Welcoming Environment
The UKSN has a fully formed constitution and code of conduct. We also have both anti bullying and child protection policies in place that we expect all members to adhere to at all times. These core documents form the backbone of UKSN, ensuring that our community remains a safe environment for all members.
The UKSN is one of a small number of organisations to hold a Camping and Caravan Exemption Certificate in England, Scotland and Wales. This enables us to operate campsites for sole use by our members without needing planning permission or to apply for change of use for the land.
