No. Certain organisations such as the Boy Scouts Association and Girl Guides Association have exemption certificates that have the same effect as if a camping licence had been issued.

If a site is to be used as a camping site for more then 28 days then planning permission will be required from your local council.

If you allow your land to be used as a camping site by the public for more than 42 days consecutively, or 60 days in a year then you require a camping licence. If you do not have a camping licence but still use your land as a camping site then you may be fined.

A camping licence normally does not expire and will not need to be renewed unless a change of owner or change in planning consent.

The fee to apply for a camping licence ranges from zero to £600 or more, depending on your local authority.
