Don't just go and camp on a farmers field somewhere. Apart from being incredibly rude, you could find that your tent gets trampled in the morning as the cows are driven in for milking, or as the sheep are moved. Not to mention that said animals would probably start chewing the tent. You also run the risk of finding the farmer striding up to your tent at 5 am, shotgun in hand, telling you to "gerroff my land". As to the person above me, the law has now changed, what with right to roam coming in.
I believe that you're not allowed to camp in National Parks anymore, but you could check.
A decent campsite shouldn't be any more than £15 a night, and that includes things like loo, showers, tv and games room. Well worth it IMHO

There is not any authorized loose tenting wherever within the UK - until you'll be able to convince a landowner to permit you to camp on their land for not anything. It is in most cases feasible 'fly-camp'( to camp with out permission) with out entering predicament through being discrete. If you pitch someplace hidden away in which you reason no harm or disturbance then: - you might not be observed in any respect. - men and women who uncover you can also come to a decision to depart you on my own there. Fly-campers who reason annoyance to occupiers, and result in them finding out to appear out for and kick out any long run fly-campers, are a risk to all others.

Apparently there is a 'no trespass' law in Scotland which means you can camp on anyone's land for free -- it's considered polite just to knock on the door of the closest house and ask permission -- but they can't legally say no. I did this in summer 2000 and we had great luck everywhere we went.

Through YHA (youth hostel association) you can rent tents from 5 pounds- I'm pretty sure that includes staying on their premises.
