What about facilities?

Basically hosts just offer a corner in their garden for you to pitch your tent on. In addition, they may offer access to drinking water, a toilet and electricity. They are not obliged to do so though: all of these are bonuses. Consider a garden as a bivouac spot; not a fully-fledged campsite.

Does Welcome To My Garden cost anything?

Using Welcome To My Garden is completely free. However, as a platform we do incur costs. If you want to make a donation that will put a big smile on our faces! We are a not-for-profit initiative, so we’re not making any money out of this.

Rules

Here’s how Welcome To My Garden works. Make sure to read the rules before starting your adventure! After all, this platform will only work well if we all play by the rules.

Covid-19 warning

At any time adhere to the government's measures to stop the spread of Covid-19.

Network of citizens

Welcome To My Garden is a network of citizens offering free camping spots in their gardens to slow travellers. It is a not-for-profit initiative and no income should be made from it. Welcome To My Garden will not take any responsibility for any loss, damage or injury incurred during a stay.

Send a request in advance to the garden owner

Garden owners might not be home and ready to welcome you at all times. We ask users to contact the garden owner in advance to check availability directly. This should be done by sending a request to the host through their profile. After establishing the initial connection you can exchange contact details, so that you can stay in touch and update your host about your arrival time by email or phone, depending on their preference. When you send a request, provide some information about yourself and about your expected arrival time.

No car rule
