Common questions

How much does it cost to list my land?

Listing your land only requires a Nearly Wild Camping membership at £24/year. There are no additional listing fees or commissions.

How do I get paid?

Members contact you directly to arrange bookings, and payment is handled directly between you and the camper. We don't have a booking system on the website because wild camping locations aren't like normal campsites with designated opening times and pitches, so this approach keeps it flexible and personal.

What if my land doesn't meet all the criteria?

Every location is unique. If you're unsure whether your land is suitable, submit your location anyway and our team will review it and provide feedback.

Can I remove my location later?

Yes, you maintain full control. You can update availability, temporarily close, or permanently remove your location at any time.

What support do I get as a landowner?

You'll have access to our landowner community, dedicated support team, and resources on managing your location, dealing with bookings, and maintaining quality standards.
