Wild camping here: Generally restricted

Wild camping generally needs the landowner's permission in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland is the exception (right to roam).

Informational only — always check current local rules and get landowner permission where needed.

Description

Also known as 'McCook's Cottage', Ben Alder Cottage bothy is a brilliantly remote refuge, nestled between the peak of Ben Alder and Loch Ericht.This medium-sized bothy sleeps up to six people, and has a wood-burning stove, although you'll need to bring your own supply of firewood. This bothy has a rich history, having been used by ghillies, stalkers, fishermen, walkers and poachers over the years, and is also said to be haunted!

News

New

A major milestone: we've rebuilt Camp Wild from the ground up.

The whole site is now faster, lighter on mobile data, and works smoothly even on a weak signal out in the wild.
- The map loads thousands of spots without slowing down.
- Pages open instantly and use far less data.
- Every spot now has its own link, so sharing a place is easy.

Improvements

- Map markers no longer duplicate or get stuck while panning and zooming.
- Coordinates read from a photo are now accurate, with a clear message when a photo has no location data.
- Sign-in, comments, and reports are more reliable.

Upcoming

We're continuing to polish the new experience. Spotted something off? Use the Report button on any spot — thank you for helping keep the map accurate.
