wilderness camping

Remote tent living

Wilderness camping is camping in remote, undeveloped areas away from established campgrounds and amenities.

Unlike car camping at designated sites, wilderness camping typically requires hiking to reach and demands self-sufficiency—carrying all supplies, leaving no trace, and often obtaining permits for backcountry access: We spent a week wilderness camping in the Boundary Waters.
