This summer, we want to encourage you to think about the impacts of wild camping on the environment and on other people visiting, living and working in rural Scotland.

Our message is for campers - whether camping remotely or near the road - is to stay safe, behave responsibly and to leave their camping site like they had never been there.

Individually the impact of considerate camping may be minimal, but popular areas may get many visitors week after week over the summer. The cumulative impacts of this can be significant, so taking simple steps to minimise impacts will benefit everyone.

Our camping web pages provide information for campers on how to make sure that when camping they can stay safe, protect the environment and minimise the signs of ever having been there.

Be a considerate camper and think about the following: Litter - bag it and take it home
