Some of the group camped on the wall and they all told they had a great time too. John our guide was wonderfull, very helpful and friendly and and spoke good english and had a lot of information to share. Two other guides (Jamy and Dan stayed at the camping place (the biggest part of the group chose for camping only a few for the farm stay) and they were also very nice and helpfull.
The parts of the great wall we hiked on were beautiful. Jiankou wild unrestored wall and Huahuacheng was restored but also ery beautiful and nice views of the wall and the lake. Quite steep as well!
I am not a fast walker but I can go on for long times and both days I would have loved to hike even a bit further once the hike was finished (because of the busride to and from Beijing etc it is more like two half days hiking actually. )
Also good communication on forhand by email and a great clear website with a scedule with hikes on it long in advance.
All in all I did enjoy the hike with over night stay near the wall (you could see the wall from the hostel area) very very much.
It is well worth the money!
Usally I like to organise and do things independently (i also went independantly to f.e. badaling and mutianyu great wall but it really is a lot of extra you get here. Like transport to beautiful parts where no public transport is going, chinese style shared meals on these table with the inner part turning, like minded hikers, and guides that are not mainstream guides but hiking-guides.
Thank you very much! I would highly recommend!!!

The first day hike on the Jiankou Great Wall deserves a medium-strong rating as as it includes a strong uphill hike. We never rush and include some breaks so this hike is suitable for everyone with an average to good physical condition. The Huanghuacheng Great Wall hike is fairly easy so we give day 2 an easy-medium rating.
