Wild camping, also known as camping, backcountry camping, or stealth camping, refers to the practice of setting up a temporary campsite in natural environments, such as forests, mountains, deserts, or other remote and less-developed areas, without using designated campgrounds or established facilities. Unlike traditional camping in designated campsites with amenities like toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, wild camping involves staying in more secluded and untouched locations.

Wild camping often involves hiking/trekking/cycling into remote areas and setting up a campsite for the night. Campers typically carry lightweight and portable camping gear to minimize their impact on the environment. This practice allows outdoor enthusiasts to immerse themselves in nature, away from the crowds and conveniences of established campgrounds.

However, wild camping comes with responsibilities and ethical considerations to minimize environmental impact and preserve the natural beauty of the areas being visited.

While wild camping can provide a unique and rewarding outdoor experience, responsible practices are crucial to ensure the sustainability of these natural areas for future generations.
