It looks to have some nice spots but they’re not cheap - certainly not free.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that yet.

Just had a look at the website. So, it's basically a marketplace to bring overlander and the sites' owners together. Why not? Looks like a good concept. It's limited to Great Britain and Northern Ireland, right? Have you tried it and any experience with it?

That would be such a great idea for the whole of Europe. Would love to have it establish something like this in Germany.

There is something similar for Germany (plus Switzerland and Austria) but still a bit different. You know "Landvergnügen"?

I think it’s doing more than that. In the UK wild camping is illegal and you need planning permission to set up a camp site. However “clubs” are able to give that permission for “campsites” for up to 5 vans.

So I guess Off Grid camp are a registered club and they are giving farmers the ability to set up camp spots on their land.

I haven’t tried it yet but I will As soon as we have the new truck.

I also think it’s somewhat different to Landvergnügen. As I understand it Landvergnügen Is like France Passion, Britstops. They work in the same way (especially that legal bit in the UK) but the stops tend to be aimed at Campervans and Motorhomes not 4x4. Because of this legal quirk, there are other versions of this concept in the UK e.g. Greener Camping

Basically it is a list of sites etc.. same as Nearlywild

Coco's and Nash are on them.

Nearly wild describe themselves as a “clib” so I think the same thing.

Have you tried their camp sites?
