Locals Hate This Free Van Spot — But We Love It | VW Vanlife UK

It’s the hottest day of the year and we’re back at our favourite wild camping spot — Shinglebank, Isle of Sheppey. Controversial? Yep. Scenic? Always. And today? Absolute chaos. Jet skis, Coast Guard, fire brigade, and even the police — everyone turned up for a wild one. With new £15 overnight charges and caravan bans incoming, this might be one of the last free nights we ever get here. Still, with views like this, who needs a hedge-bound campsite? We had lightning storms, late-night madness, salty swims, and even made some unexpected new mates — all part of the unpredictable charm of wild camping. 🐾 Starring: Martin, Jenine & Krypto 📍 Location: Shinglebank, Isle of Sheppey, UK 🚐 Van: Big Red (VW T5 Pop-top) 📸 Honourable mention: @DonnyUtton 🎵 Music: Epidemic Sound + Lickd licensed tracks 💬 Would you pay £15 to camp here overnight?
