Did you know? Camping is naturally sustainable

Camping offers a sustainable alternative to traditional holiday accommodations

Camping and other low-impact accommodations offer a sustainable option for holidaymakers conscious of their environmental impact. Environmentally conscious consumers are actively turning to unique camping options closer to home as an alternative to traditional holiday accommodations, including short-term rentals.

Hipcamp is proud to partner with landowners to offer sustainable camping options and is grateful to organizations such as Leave No Trace for providing practical guidance to help people care for the outdoors.

Leave No Trace principles such as traveling and camping on durable surfaces, and disposing of waste properly ensure campers are minimizing their impact on the environment while they enjoy the outdoors.
