Pitch your tent here? (Ian Murray/Photographer's Choice/Getty Images)

Yes, you can do this! A newish Web site called Campinmygarden.com enables you to connect with folks who’ll let you pitch a tent in their yards for a small fee.

It’s the same online community concept established by sites like Airbnb.com and Couchsurfing.org — only you’ll sleep outside the house, rather than inside. Accommodations vary based on the property, of course; some members offer showers, running water, WiFi, secure gates, power sockets. As with most campsites, the prices are generally super cheap — like 5 to 20 pounds; they’re set by the member.

The Web site was started up in England in April 2011, so a bulk of the “gardens” are found in the UK — which is just fine, given that the countryside is so peaceful there it’ll likely lure you into a taking a nap in somebody else’s tall grass anyway. For example, consider this wide open field in South Downs.
