Eco camping

Eco-camping All washing should be done away from the water source and fouled water should not be returned to the water source but strained through loose grass in your wet “pit” which can then be burnt. Grease from cooking can be disposed of in the same way.

Put your other rubbish in a strong plastic bag, ready to be emptied into a site bin or taken with you when you leave.

Be sure to bag up all tins and bottles and bring them home for recycling.

Burn paper packaging and cartons on your camp fire.

Don’t cut live wood. Keep fires small to conserve wood.

Plan to minimise rubbish. Buy items with little or no packaging, remove excess packaging at home, cutting out the cooking instructions.
