Eco-camping: features, advantages and useful information

Eco-campings are eco-friendly campsites that try to minimise the human impact while showing the beauty of nature.

They have become particularly popular in recent years as a response to the demand of campers who are more and more looking for eco-friendly places.

In this article we see all the characteristics of eco-camping and other opportunities for a green stay.

What are eco-campings

Eco-camps are campsites that adopt eco-friendly practices such as recycling waste, reducing water consumption and using biodegradable materials. In these areas, guests often have the opportunity to actively join in leisure and educational activities related to nature and environmental protection, such as beach cleaning.

It is also important to underline that staying in an eco-camping does not mean giving up the comfort and services of a traditional campsite: toilets, showers, restaurants, laundry service are available.

Why you should choose an eco-camping

Among the most appreciated aspects of an eco-camping holiday are

• practising a non-invasive and sustainable tourism, discovering the territory in an authentic way, favouring quality over quantity;
• being in touch with nature and rediscovering a more authentic and responsible connection with it, in a relaxing and peaceful environment, far from the daily hustle and bustle;
• use a vegetable garden and enjoy organic 0 km food, without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers.

How to choose the best eco-camping

In order to choose the perfect eco-camping for you, consider, first of all, the location: if you are looking for a 100% green stay, you can choose a campsite surrounded by nature, far from urban centres and close to parks or nature reserves; if, on the other hand, you would also like to visit sightseeing attractions, you should choose a campsite that is close to local amenities.

Be well informed about the extra services provided by the campsite: if you are travelling with kids, you can look for eco-campings with a wide range of activities for children and families. If you are planning an adventure holiday, opt for campsites that offer excursions and outdoor activities.

More than eco-campings: other sustainable alternatives

Ca’Savio’s proposal: eco-friendly camping in Venice

If you are looking for a sustainability-oriented campsite to spend your holiday in Cavallino-Treporti with your family or friends, you will find everything you are looking for in our campsite.

At Ca’ Savio we strive every day to leave a positive imprint on nature and local communities. In fact, one of our main goals is to preserve the natural and social environment and to coexist with it in a regenerative way.

The Sustainable Global Development Goals are part of our philosophy and are expressed in a number of concrete steps, such as:

• the care of a garden rich in biodiversity and available for all our guests;
• the protection of the dunes, habitat of the Fratino, an endangered bird;
• the reduction of light pollution by ensuring dark areas;
• the planting of flowers for pollinators and new trees;
• the design of new water systems for sustainable management.

We also adopt several approaches to reduce human impact on the ecosystem, including:

• reduce water wastage without precluding essential supplies;
• use sustainable irrigation with plants that have low water needs and are local and therefore more easily adaptable to the climate;
• optimise waste management on the beach through the inclusion of 9 waste collection islands;
• reduce the use of plastic on the campsite, replacing it with compostable packaging;
• provide our guests with electric car charging stations;
• use photovoltaic panels to take advantage of renewable energy;
• rent bicycles and electric scooters directly on the campsite to explore routes immersed in nature;
• have an in-house supermarket, stocked with 0 km food.
