Van life guide: England
Van Life in Lincolnshire: Best Spots, Meetups & Where to Park
Connect with other van lifers, join campouts and convoys, or meet someone special in Lincolnshire. Lincolnshire is a county of huge skies, a long flat coast and rolling wolds, with a magnificent cathedral city at its heart.
The van life scene in Lincolnshire
The Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape rises gently above the fens, and the coast has long sandy beaches and nature reserves such as Gibraltar Point. The fens and the Witham valley are flat, peaceful and rich in birdlife.
When you are based in Lincolnshire, it is simple to find your crew when you plan a campfire with fellow van lifers. The city of Lincoln has its own guide.

Parking up and staying legal in Lincolnshire
Coastal car parks on the Lincolnshire coast are busy in summer and some have height barriers. Check signs and use campsites for overnight stays.
In England, wild camping is generally not allowed without the landowner’s permission, and overnight stays on roadsides, in car parks and at beauty spots are often restricted by signs, byelaws or council orders. Dartmoor has its own arrangements, so check the national park’s current guidance. Use campsites, Certificated Locations, farm stopovers or pubs that welcome vans, and follow the Countryside Code.
Read the Countryside Code. Please leave places as you found them, be considerate to residents, and see our Community Guidelines and Safety Tips.
