ABOUT nearly wild camping

Nearly Wild Camping is a network of diverse locations (mostly across the UK) , many offering Nearly Wild Camping experiences.

They all have things in common:

Plenty of space between pitches to ensure peace and privacy

Most locations are campfire/BBQ friendly

Only basic facilities

They are all much more than a place to sleep, offering the chance to explore where you are through guided walks, star gazing, badger watching, having a go at some regular onsite tasks (from feeding the chickens to carving a spoon), cooking up some homegrown veg on your campfire and much more.

This is where every location is different, each with its own unique feel and experiences to offer, from family farms to nature reserves and hilltops smallholdings to riverside woods.

Working together as a community

At the same time Nearly Wild Camping is a collection of location owners supporting each other towards a common purpose of making more of their living from the land and sharing its magic with others.

The emphasis is on integrating Nearly Wild Camping experiences into activities and interests already onsite and encouraging campers to make the most of other opportunities in the area.

As it grows this network has the potential to not only be able to share fixed costs through group discounts and access a huge network of people to market to between them, they can also share their learning, pool advice and good practice, and support each other through regular meet ups and communications.
