Tony was a fantastic guide and the walk was spectacular.
Spending a night out in the wild is one of the best ways to fully experience the Isle of Mull’s wilder side. This guided wild camping adventure is flexible and tailored to suit your fitness level, with all the kit provided if needed. Whether it’s a peaceful mountain location or a remote beach, this is a proper back-to-basics experience with a few comforts thrown in.
Your experience begins with a chat over maps and options at the meeting point to decide on the most suitable wild camp spot. We’ll tailor the route to your group’s fitness and preferences—mountain backdrops, coastal views, or both. Once the location is chosen, we’ll head out with our kit, either carrying everything or having some stashed in advance to keep things manageable. Along the way, there’s plenty of time to take breaks, learn a few navigation basics if you're interested, and enjoy the scenery.
Once at camp, we’ll set up our tents and prepare a hearty evening meal. After dinner, there’s time to relax, watch the sunset or take some photos—Mull’s coastal light is fantastic for that. In the morning, you’ll wake up to the sounds of nature, have a hot breakfast and then make your way back at a relaxed pace. Everything is packed out, leaving no trace. Whether this is your first wild camping trip or something you’ve done before, you’ll get a proper sense of what makes it special.
This wild camping trip is based on the south side of the Isle of Mull, starting from the Power House near Carsaig. The area is known for its variety of landscapes, from steep coastal cliffs and ancient woodland to white sand beaches and quiet glens. It’s remote enough to feel like a real escape, but still accessible for a short adventure.
Depending on the weather and your preference, the chosen camping area could be in the hills above Loch Buie, on the shores of a secluded bay, or tucked beneath craggy peaks inland. Mull’s relatively low visitor numbers outside the main villages mean it’s usually easy to find a quiet and beautiful spot.
No previous wild camping experience is required, but you should be comfortable walking on uneven terrain for up to a few hours. If carrying a full pack is a concern, we can adapt the route or pre-place equipment to make things easier. A general level of fitness and a sense of adventure are helpful.
You’ll need your own waterproofs, walking boots and warm layers. Everything else can be provided, but feel free to bring your own gear if preferred.
This wild camping experience is led by a fully qualified Mountain Leader who has been guiding on Mull since 2011. The focus is on providing personalised adventures in beautiful, quiet locations that most visitors never reach. With a strong background in outdoor leadership and safety, you'll be in safe hands throughout.
The business was started by someone who swapped city life for the hills and now shares that passion through guided walks, wild camps, and navigation training. With experience travelling and leading in remote places across the world, from the Andes to the Himalayas, you’ll get a properly thought-out wild camping trip that feels special but never over-complicated.
No, previous wild camping experience isn’t necessary. This trip is designed to suit beginners as well as those who’ve camped in the wild before. The pace and distance are tailored to your fitness level, and any equipment you might need can be provided.
If you’re completely new to wild camping, you’ll get support with everything from setting up your tent to cooking a simple outdoor meal. It’s a great way to try out wild camping in a safe and supportive environment with an experienced guide.
The walking distance varies depending on the chosen campsite and your fitness level. Some routes may be as short as 1–2 miles each way, while others could be up to 6–8 miles, especially if you want a hillier or more remote setting.
There’s flexibility to stash kit ahead of time or use easier paths to keep things manageable. The terrain can be rough and uneven in places, so a reasonable level of walking fitness is recommended, but the pace will always be steady with plenty of breaks.
Food provided includes a packed lunch for the first day, a hot evening meal, and a simple breakfast the following morning. Meals are nutritious and chosen to suit the outdoor setting, typically with a hot option for the evening such as pasta or a curry.
Dietary requirements and preferences can usually be catered for with notice—just mention them when booking. You’re also welcome to bring your own snacks or favourite treats for between meals.
Yes, you’re very welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer. This includes tent, sleeping bag, mat, stove, or any other equipment you normally use. If you’re unsure whether your kit is suitable, you can ask for advice before the trip.
If you’d rather travel light or try wild camping for the first time without investing in kit, everything essential can be provided for you. The equipment supplied is good quality and suited to the conditions on Mull.
There isn’t one fixed campsite—your guide will offer options based on weather, wind direction, tide times (if coastal), and your walking ability. Campsites are chosen for their seclusion, beauty and suitability for a low-impact overnight stay.
You can share your preference—whether you’d rather camp by the sea or in the hills—and your guide will do their best to match it. Some sites require a short hike in, while others are more of a challenge if you're up for it.
