Wild Camping Spots in Europe
Hi everyone!
I’m looking for truly remote wild camping spots or regions in Europe — preferably far away from campsites, cities and tourist hotspots.
I know wild camping is restricted or prohibited in many European countries, and I understand that people might not want to publicly share their exact hidden spots. I’m mainly looking for recommendations for regions or hiking areas where you can still find that feeling of being completely surrounded by nature.
My ideal place would have mountains, forests, clear mountain lakes, rivers or natural swimming pools, rocky landscapes and amazing views — something with a bit of a Yosemite/Sierra Nevada vibe.
I’m the type of hiker who wants to hike in, find a quiet place to spend the night, enjoy the scenery and leave the next morning without leaving any trace behind. No fires, no trash, no damage — just respecting the landscape and leaving it exactly as I found it.
I’d especially appreciate recommendations for less touristy areas and hidden gems rather than the famous Instagram locations.
I completely understand if you don’t want to share an exact location publicly — even just pointing me towards a region, mountain range or trail would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
