Camping in Hong Kong
Discover a slower, wilder side of Hong Kong when the city lights fade and the night sky opens above the hills and sea, as camping trips unfold along sweeping beaches, mountain ridgelines and outlying islands where tent lights replace neon and dawn breaks over calm bays instead of busy harbours.
From Sai Kung’s remote coves at Tai Long Wan, Ham Tin or Long Ke Wan to grassy headlands above Double Haven or Tsin Yue Wan, campsites sit between turquoise water and lush peaks, turning Hong Kong’s country parks and UNESCO Global Geopark into your overnight backyard while you fall asleep to waves and cicadas, wake to first light over empty sand, and spend the day swimming, hiking coastal trails or exploring nearby rock formations and fishing villages before returning to the fire and stars.
Whether you pitch at officially designated country‑park sites tucked in the forest, carry your gear out to a white‑sand beach, or join supported camping experiences with boat transfers, meals and even hostel‑style indoor options at YHA camps, each trip feels like a mini‑expedition without ever leaving the city, blending Hong Kong’s more than 40 recognised campsites with countless wild‑feeling bays so weekends become simple, low‑impact adventures built around walking, stargazing and the changing colours of sea and sky.

Camping FAQs
Are camping tours suitable for complete beginners?
Yes, our featured camping tours are designed to be very beginner‑friendly, even if you have never camped before.
- The route, distance and campsite are chosen to suit first‑timers, with reasonable walking time and established, accessible camping spots in Hong Kong.
- Guides teach the basics—how to pitch a tent, use camping gear, stay warm and dry, and follow Leave No Trace practices—so you can learn step by step instead of figuring everything out alone.
- Most equipment and logistics are provided or pre‑arranged, which removes the stress of buying gear, finding a site, or dealing with transport and safety checks by yourself.
As long as you are in normal health, can walk the stated distance, and follow instructions, a guided camping tour is actually one of the easiest ways to try camping for the first time.
What is included in the camping tour?
Our featured camping tour is a fully guided experience, not just a tent rental, so most of the planning, gear and safety are taken care of for you.
- Professional guide and hosting: Certified local leaders handle route planning, safety checks, weather decisions and campsite setup, while also sharing stories about Hong Kong’s nature, geology and culture.
- Camping equipment: Group gear such as tents, cooking equipment and basic lighting is provided; depending on the package, sleeping mats or bags may also be included so you do not need to buy a full camping kit.
- Meals and water arrangements: Simple camp meals or BBQ and hot drinks are organised for the group, with cooking tools and fuel supplied, so you only need to bring your personal snacks or special dietary items.
- Logistics and permits: Meeting point details, local transport during the tour (if included), campsite reservations and any required permissions or park procedures are pre‑arranged, turning camping into an easy city escape instead of a complicated DIY project.
You just bring your clothes, personal items and a sense of adventure—everything else that makes “camping as a tour” possible is bundled into the package.
What should I wear and bring for the camping tour?
Wear light, quick‑drying outdoor clothing, closed‑toe shoes with good grip, and bring a small backpack with your personal essentials.
- Clothing: Sport T‑shirt, hiking pants or leggings, hat, and a lightweight rain/wind jacket; avoid cotton as it stays wet and cold.
- Autumn/winter: Pack warm layers such as fleece, thermal top, beanie and warm socks, and add or remove layers using the “onion” system to match the temperature.
- What to bring: Headlamp or torch, water bottle, personal toiletries, simple tableware if required, personal medication, power bank, and one full change of clothes in a dry bag.
- Weather check: Before departure, check the actual temperature and weather warnings on the Hong Kong Observatory “MyObservatory” app and dress accordingly for day and night conditions.
Are there any age, weight, or health restrictions for camping?
Most featured camping tours are open to a wide range of ages and body types, but there are some basic safety guidelines to keep everyone comfortable and safe.
- Age: Family‑friendly routes can usually welcome children when accompanied by a responsible adult, while more demanding routes may have a minimum age (for example 8–12 years old) and sometimes an upper age limit depending on fitness rather than age alone.
- Weight / backpack load: There is usually no strict body‑weight limit, but participants should be able to carry a backpack up to around one‑quarter to one‑third of their own body weight over uneven ground.
- Health & fitness: Guests should be in generally good health, able to walk the stated distance without severe breathlessness, dizziness, recent serious injuries, or unstable heart / respiratory conditions; those with chronic illnesses should consult a doctor before joining.
If you are unsure whether a medical condition, pregnancy, or mobility issue is suitable for camping, contact the operator in advance with details so the team can advise routes, pace, or alternatives.
What day camping tours are available?
Camping tours in Hong Kong are generally available when weather permits, often daily during peak seasons.[conversation_history]
For outdoor camping, these are mostly offered from autumn through winter, taking advantage of cooler, drier conditions ideal for comfortable stays.
Spring and summer options exist but are limited due to higher humidity, rain risks, and heat advisories.
What is the minimum and maximum group size for a camping tour?
Most camping tours run with small groups so the guide can look after everyone and the campsite stays relaxed and safe.
- For regular departures, the typical minimum is 2–4 guests to confirm a tour, and the standard maximum is around 8–12 people per group, depending on the route and guide‑to‑guest ratio.
- For bigger private, school or corporate camps, larger headcounts are possible by adding more guides and splitting into sub‑groups, but each guide still only looks after a limited number of participants.
Exact minimum and maximum may vary by date and itinerary, so always check the specific tour page or contact the operator if you have a very small or very large group.
