General info
What is Eco Camping? Eco camping is camping with little to no impact on the environment. Even during the building phase of the campsite, we are doing as much as possible by hand to avoid using machinery that not only burns fossil fuels but causes more damage to the land. I offer 3 veggie meals a day and accommodation in a shared bell tent for volunteers, in exchange of full hospitality!
