This summer, we propose an easy and rewarding challenge: travel more consciously. Being a camper isn’t just about being in nature—it’s also a way of experiencing the land with respect, calm, and common sense. Every small gesture counts, and your holiday can have a very positive impact on the place you visit.

Te contamos cómo hacerlo posible.

It All Starts Before You Pack Your Bag

Responsible tourism begins long before you arrive at the campsite. A few decisions made ahead of time can make your trip much more sustainable:

• Choose a campsite with an environmental commitment: At Campings in Girona, you’ll find establishments that use renewable energy, water-saving systems, and actions that support the local area. Check out our selection of Green Life campsites.
• Extend your stay: Travel less and experience the area more calmly—this helps reduce emissions and lets you better enjoy your surroundings.

During the Holidays, Every Gesture Counts

Everyday habits can have a big impact, both positive and negative. If you want to be a more responsible camper, here are some simple but very useful tips:

1. Save water and energy

• Short showers, turning off taps properly, switching off lights when not needed… These little things can save liters and kilowatts.
• Bring a reusable bottle and avoid single-use products: Sort your waste properly and use the campsite’s recycling bins.
• Respect nature: Leave no trace, avoid unnecessary noise, and don’t take anything that might affect the landscape.

2. Support the Local Economy

• When you go shopping at the campsite store, add zero-kilometer products to your basket. It’s a sustainable choice that contributes to the development of the local economy.
• Eat seasonal dishes made with locally sourced products. You will discover authentic flavors and help reduce the environmental impact of food transportation.
• If you need other products, choose local shops, workshops, and producers. This way, you will directly contribute to the vitality of the area and the preservation of traditions.

3. Connect with the Local Culture

• Take part in traditional festivals, guided tours, or activities organized by campsites or nearby towns.
• Learn about local traditions, language, and history. Understanding the place you’re in allows you to experience it much more deeply.
• Try to avoid overcrowded spots and explore lesser-known corners. They’re often a real hidden gem.

Lead by Example

A conscious attitude can inspire others to travel more responsibly. That too is sustainability:

• Share good practices on social media. Show what you’re doing to care for the planet while traveling.
• Recommend local businesses you enjoyed. A positive review can make a big difference.
• Join in on campsite activities. Workshops, talks, charity events… Sometimes, building community is part of the experience too.
