Wild camping for beginners

Hikers Support Crew offers beginner-friendly wild camping experiences designed to introduce people to safe, responsible, and enjoyable nights in the outdoors.

Our guided wild camping trips cover everything you need to know, from choosing the right equipment and campsite selection to campcraft skills, navigation, and environmental responsibility. We focus on building confidence, practical knowledge, and respect for the landscape, ensuring every participant feels comfortable and prepared.

All trips are led by fully qualified Mountain Leaders who prioritise safety, good decision-making, and positive group experiences. Whether it’s your first time carrying a pack or your first night under the stars, our guides support you every step of the way.

Based in Lancashire, we operate across the Lake District, Yorkshire, the Peak District, and Wales, selecting locations that are suitable, scenic, and appropriate for beginner-level wild camping.
