Nearly Wild Camping
Learn from people who know the land
Experience Providers are Nearly Wild Camping members who share what they know: bushcraft, foraging, navigation, wild swimming and more. Some are working instructors, some are skilled amateurs. All of them are reviewed and approved before they appear.
What this is
Guided experiences for wild campers
Providers set their own availability, prices and terms. Nearly Wild Camping introduces you, then steps out of the way.
Skills and courses
From a weekend of bushcraft to a foraging afternoon, providers offer structured sessions at or near member locations.
Reviewed and approved
Every provider applies and is reviewed before their profile goes live. You see what they offer, where they work and what they say about themselves.
Contact them directly
You get in touch through Nearly Wild Camping. Everything after that, dates, pricing and arrangements, is between you and the provider. No booking fees, no commission.
Included in membership
Full provider profiles and contact are part of your £24 a year membership, alongside every wild camping location and members’ events.
