Sustainable camping: green campsites

Especially during your camping holiday, you can optimally enjoy nature. It is important that the generations after us can continue to do so! More and more campers feel this way and therefore choose sustainable camping. And that can be very easy by choosing one of the many green campsites.

Environmentally conscious travel, it is a trend that more and more people are picking up on. During your holiday, paying attention to reducing your CO2 emissions. This is also becoming more important in the camping world. For example, we previously wrote about environmentally friendly tents that are made from old jeans. And fortunately, there are also many campsites that choose sustainability.

Ecological campsites

These green campsites have invested in sustainable camping in several ways. For example, by using green energy, economical water consumption and environmentally friendly cleaning products. In addition, thought has often been given to a good layout of the site, so that nature also gets enough space.

Furthermore, you can think of solar panels, LED lighting, light sensors and waste separation. And if there is a restaurant at the campsite, you can often eat local or home-grown products there. On the website Eurocampings.nl you can easily search for ecological campsites at home and abroad.

Quality mark: Green Key

In the Netherlands, there is a special, international quality mark for sustainable businesses: the Green Key quality mark. This includes all kinds of tourist businesses, such as hotels, restaurants, and even zoos.

Companies with the Green Key quality mark prioritize sustainability and apply it everywhere. This includes economical use of energy and water, environmentally friendly cleaning, recycling, and well-considered choices regarding organic food and certified products.

Campsites with this quality mark offer a wonderful holiday spot, but without unnecessarily burdening the environment. The certificate the campsite receives depends on the number of measures a campsite has implemented. This can be a bronze, silver, or gold certificate.
