Wild Camping

Lake Mahinapua1 Bennett & Slater cropWaking up surrounded by natural beauty and experiencing the solitude of the countryside is what lures many a traveller to wild camping. As romantic as it sounds, there are still rules to consider…

… rules that not only make the experience safe and rewarding, but also preserve such special places for those that follow in the same footsteps.

Before we upwardly mobilised ourselves into our little campervan, we always used to stay in a tent (Vaude, all the way!), surviving such episodes as a bear pawing the tent, insect invasion, storm, flood, and of course the challenge of remaining romantic in a confined space on a diet containing beans.

Here on Lonelyplanet.com, we provide some of our best tips for happy camping in the wild places of the world. Go well!
