Guide notes

Official checks first

Open the current permit, park-alert, map, and visiting-safely sources for the exact trip you are planning.

Confirm the current vehicle access permit requirement.
Check park alerts and the official access guidance close to departure.
Review weather and tide information without treating a snapshot as an access decision.

Match the plan to the official guidance

Access arrangements differ by destination. Check the intended route, destination, vehicle requirements, recovery preparation, communications, and return plan at the official sources.

Camping is a separate check

If the trip includes camping, choose the exact camping area and confirm its permit, access method, alerts, and visitor information separately.
