Frequently Asked Questions
What sleeping bag rating do I need for UK camping in summer?
A 3-season sleeping bag rated to around 0°C is ideal for UK summer camping. Even in July, temperatures can drop to single figures overnight in the Lake District or Scotland. A 2-season bag works for milder southern sites in June–August, but a 3-season gives you flexibility.
Do I need a separate groundsheet for camping in the UK?
Yes, strongly recommended. UK campsite ground is often damp, and a footprint or groundsheet protects the tent floor from moisture and wear. Many tents come without one — check before you buy.
Are campfires allowed on UK campsites?
It depends entirely on the campsite. Many sites prohibit open fires but allow raised fire pits or BBQs. Always check the site's rules before packing firewood or a fire pit. In Scotland, wild camping and campfires are generally permitted under the Land Reform Act, with care.
