The Nearly Wild Camping Club

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US

The Nearly Wild Camping Club is a non-profit co-operative of like-minded people – bringing together ambassadors for the countryside, its rich heritage and wildlife, with those seeking to explore and learn through informal fun. We have been featured on the BBC website, in the Guardian and Countryfile magazine.

Members access our online directory which currently has 250+ locations (with many more in the pipeline) mostly across the UK – many exclusive to Nearly Wild Camping Club members. Most offer more than just camping
– open fires, local produce, pottery, nature walks,
fishing, woodland camping….and more!

Whether you are a camper or a potential location (or both) membership of the Nearly Wild Camping Cub is just £24 per year for a family subscription – less than 50p per week! Most of our Business partners offer member discounts on equipment and accessories.

Our NEW ‘members-only’ Community section of the website adds more value with a number of themed camps taking place over this May, June and July with bushcraft related activities at no extra cost.

All our members are also shareholders of the co-operative
with a say in how the Nearly Wild Camping Club develops,
the members own and run the organisation.

What our members say

'My first time wild camping with my two young sons, We had a good time... and the farm staff were friendly very helpful. It was perfect for us as a learning experience.'

'Really friendly and relaxed experience, there are some very nice spots to pitch up and feel very isolated, even though you’re not far from the farmhouse.'

'could not have been more welcoming and it was the most peaceful sunny five days we have had in a long time. There was only ever a maximum of two other tents so it felt really calm and quiet.'

'There is a deep sense of being away from the busyness of the world, and having an opportunity to sink into nature. The calls of the owls at night and an encounter with a deer in the early morning added to the magic'

'we received a very warm welcome and were given good advice to help us have the most lovely stay. Really pleased to have found it, as close to home and yet feels likes a real break when here'

'Stayed for just one night but wished we’d had longer Beautiful and tranquil river/woodland setting with the option to pitch up in open meadow also. Brilliant tidy compost loo available.'

'This is our first adventure with Nearly wild camping. This is exactly what we wanted, to get back to nature and reconnect our minds, time away from the drudgery of life. What a lovely friendly host, we will be back'

'Had a lovely time in the lovely woodland setting. The landowners were very accommodating and helpful. Plenty of wildlife and space to enjoy.'

'Felt really safe camping alone. Beautiful scenery, peaceful site, friendly owners.'

'The campsite was private and is surrounded by trees they have recently planted. There was also a wheelbarrow to easily wheel things to and from the pitch'
