Wild Camp Experience
Join us for an unforgettable adventure on our Wild Camp Experience with food provided by Wild Gourmet NI from Saturday, June 14 to Sunday June 15 2025. . Get ready to experience the freedom of sleeping under the stars in the middle of the Mourne Mountains.
A wild camp is a great way to do a bit of re-wilding and get back to nature. We will hike into camp and set up our home for the night. Dinner will provided by Wild Gourmet NI – homemade beef stroganoff (with lentil veggie option) and garlic bread cooked on the fire with homemade chocolate brownies for afters with chocolate sauce made freshly made at camp!!! Yum Yum!
We will relax by the camp fire in the evening where we can all sit around and have a bit of craic over a hot chocolate, toasted marshmallows and s’mores. After a night tucked up in a cosy tent with only the tranquil sounds of the mountain around us we will then rustle up fresh breakfast rolls with maple cured bacon and Cumberland sausage(veggie option available) with a warming tea or coffee to wake us up. What a way to start the day!
