Free camping in the Scottish Highlands and Skye
8 free and low-cost places to camp in the Scottish Highlands and Skye, with facilities and directions, and the ones we’d go back to first.
Our picks
Wild camping is legal in most of Scotland under the outdoor access code, and on parts of Dartmoor. Elsewhere in the UK you need the landowner’s permission, so free spots are rare; small certified sites are the cheap option.
