The environmental camping holidayWhat is environmental camping? Camping is one of the most environmental holidays available. It leaves one of the smallest environmental footprints as only minimal changes are made to the landscape. Apart from the provision of reception and shower areas little change is made to the surrounding environment. Compare this with hotel complexes where major disturbances are made to the land with little chance of reversal to the previous state. Also, campsite landscapes are often enhanced by the provision of additional trees, hedges and wild areas to give privacy, wind protection and a feeling of being out in the wilds to the holiday makers. These areas in turn provide habitats for insect, animal and bird ecosystems benefiting the wider area.
The daily lives of the campsite dwellers changes enormously during their stay as compared to their home life. More time is spent observing and enjoying nature as well as partaking in countryside pursuits and less time is spent watching television, driving cars and engaging in other fuel burning activities. Most campsite holiday makers arrive by car, however, once on site alternative transport is often used for example, cycles and walking, all adding to the environmental benefits of camping. The essence of camping is to live close to nature. It provides a great advertisement for the benefits of the countryside and helps change peoples' habits to be more environmentally conscious which hopefully they take back into their normal lives.
