Sustainable camping: green campsites

It is precisely during your camping holiday that 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 that is why they choose sustainable camping. And that can be done very easily by choosing one of the many green campsites.

Environmentally conscious travel is a trend that more and more people are picking up on. During your holiday, pay 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 terrain, so that nature also gets enough space.

You can also 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 in the Netherlands and abroad.

Quality mark: Green Key

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

Companies with the Green Key quality mark have sustainability high on their agenda and apply it everywhere. Think of economical use of energy and water, environmentally friendly cleaning, recycling and well-considered choices regarding organic food and products with a quality mark.

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