Camping in the Galloway Forest Park
The idea of camping in the Forest Park is an exciting prospect providing a
real sense of freedom, however, whilst ‘wild’ camping is possible we
strongly recommend that campers make every effort to ensure this is
carried out with the upmost of care.
There are several bothies in the Forest Park, see: Bothies
We also recommend that walkers are familiar with the Outdoor Access Code, for further information go to:

What the Code says
Access
rights extend to wild camping. This type of camping is lightweight,
done in small numbers and only for two or three nights in any one
place. You can camp in this way wherever access rights apply but help
to avoid causing problems for local people and land managers by not
camping in enclosed fields of crops or farm animals and by keeping well
away from buildings, roads or historic structures. Take extra care to
avoid disturbing deer stalking or grouse shooting. If you wish to camp
close to a house or building, seek the owner’s permission. Leave no
trace by:
-taking away all your litter;
-removing all traces of your tent pitch and of any open fire (follow the guidance for lighting fires);
-not causing any pollution.
