Experiences

The land is the resort. Roam free or join a guide — here's how to fill the hours between sunrise coffee and the evening fire.

Forest & ridge hikes

Twelve waymarked trails fan out from camp, from a 30-minute lake loop to the half-day climb up Heron Ridge for valley-wide views. Maps and walking poles at reception.

Lake kayaking

Glide out across the lake when the water is glass. Stable sit-on-tops, life jackets, and a quick safety briefing included — paddle for an hour or the whole afternoon.

Campfire & stargazing

Gather at the central fire pit each evening for marshmallows on the house. On clear weekends our resident astronomer sets up telescopes for a guided tour of the dark sky.

Forest spa & sauna

Unwind in the wood-fired cedar hot tub and barrel sauna tucked in a quiet clearing, followed by a cold plunge in the brook for the brave. Treatments by appointment.

Foraging walks

Join naturalist Rowan for a two-hour wander to identify wild mushrooms, herbs, and berries — then cook your finds over the fire back at camp.

Open-fire supper club

Once a week our camp cook fires up the grill for a long-table feast of local, seasonal plates. Bring a bottle, meet your neighbours, stay for the stories.

No timetable required

A day at Wilden, roughly speaking.

There's no rush here, but if you like a shape to your day, this is how most guests fall into it.

  • Sunrise coffee on the deck while the mist lifts off the lake.
  • A morning trail or a lazy paddle, depending on the weather.
  • Afternoon hammock, sauna, or a book by the brook.
  • Supper over the fire, then stars until you lose count.

Most experiences are free and need no booking — but the spa, foraging walks, and supper club do fill up. Tell us what you fancy.
