Hi, a group of friends and I are going to Mallorca mid-September. We were thinking of biking out into the remote parts of the island and wild camping for two nights.
Could anyone give me advice camping in Mallorca. Obviously we are responsible adults and would be camping away from tourist and residential areas, not having fires and clearing up after ourselves.
Is this likely to be a problem with anyone or would it be a similar situation to camping on the moors in the UK?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

I think this is one for DadsBarmy, a regular on here, and also a resident on majorca, hope he's along soon for you Goose.

Ok, thanks.... I hope he chimes in!!

Its a question thats never been asked before and TBH Ive never heard of anyone on here doing this so if your the first I would really appreciate any photos of the areas you manage to camp in, this would be amazing to see.

Ive done some digging for you, their is a climbing group that Im sure would be able to answer these questions for you, they can be contacted by email on john@rocksportmallorca.com

I also came across some guys on a camping forum that have actually done the wild camping and walking last year give them a go..... http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108993

Again please get back to us and let us know how you got on, some photos or if you dont mind a review would be amazing.

Ive done a bit more digging and apparently wild camping is not allowed and their is not many official campsites around read the following http://www.alcudiamallorca.com/en/alojamiento/campings-and-youth-hostels.html

Along walk ways their is small hostels see more about this here http://www.seemallorca.com/activities/walking.html

But I have read lots of people camping out wild and no one seems to bother them http://chrisonhiking.com/2011/03/walking-the-serra-tramuntana-in-mallorca/
