Are you allowed to camp in Singapore?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"camping
(Credit: Guduru Ajay bhargav<\/a> \/ Pexels)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You will be happy to know that camping is indeed allowed in Singapore, though with some catches that you have to pay attention to. To do so, you will need to apply for a camping permit to be granted permission to set up a tent in one of the allowed parks. This is required on both weekdays and weekends, including public and school holidays. Those travelling in groups of more than 40 pax can only be allowed to apply for Pulau Ubin campsites, subjected to prior camping approvals from NParks.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I get a camping permit in Singapore? <\/span><\/h2>\n
\"camping

Aside from Pulau Ubin, c<\/span>amping permits are mandatory for camping in other approved locations. You can secure your camping permits at AXS stations for East Coast Park, West Coast Park and Pasir Ris Park. As for Lazarus Island, be sure to obtain your camping permit by applying for a<\/span> Temporary Occupation License<\/span><\/a> from Singapore Land Authority at least seven working days in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much is a camping permit in Singapore?<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"camping
(Credit: Matthew DeVries<\/a> \/ Pexels)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are currently no charges for a camping permit application. However, you may apply for only one permit for one tent at a single time. You can re-apply for another permit after the existing permit has expired. Once a camping permit has been issued, it cannot be transferred and the holder will be held responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n
