What is the 28 day camping rule?
The ’28 Day Rule’ allows a landowner to use land for tented camping only without having to get formal planning permission for 28 days in a calendar year. The land cannot be used for more than 28 days in any calendar year. The 28 days do not have to be consecutive. We would advise you to record the exact dates when the land is being used.
