Eco-responsible campsite
Our commitment to sustainable tourism
Since taking over Camping Vert Auxois in 2024, the campsite has been working hard to ensure that everything it does is geared towards sustainable tourism and respect for the environment. In order to reduce its environmental impact, these issues are factored into each and every one of its development projects.
Energy efficiency
At the beginning of 2023, Camping Vert Auxois installed solar panels in order to generate a portion of its electricity using sunlight. Now, they covers 1/4 of campsite’s energy expense.
The campsite is gradually replacing all its lighting with energy-efficient bulbs. Its toilet facilities are already equipped with LEDs.
Camping Vert Auxois has invested in a bubble cover for the swimming pool to reduce heat loss at night.
Its new website is environmentally friendly: a sober, uncluttered design and web hosting involving servers powered by renewable green energy.
Water efficiency
At the beginning of 2022, Camping Vert Auxois purchased a scrubber dryer for cleaning the floors of the toilet facilities, which has enabled it to considerably reduce its water consumption in this respect. This equipment has also helped to reduce the workload for its employees.
In addition, its toilet facilities are now cleaned using eco-friendly cleaning products.
The washing machine, which has been available to campers as of this season (2023), was also chosen based on its energy efficiency and low water consumption.
The taps in the rental accommodation and toilets are equipped with water-saving flow regulators.
Respect for the environment and biodiversity
Camping Vert Auxois does not use pesticides anywhere on the campsite. All clippings are composted or shredded and reused in flowerbeds and around plants, in order to prevent weeds from growing and to control soil temperature.
It also promotes biodiversity through the planting of some twenty different species of shrubs each autumn.
Local produce
As far as its restaurant is concerned, Camping Vert Auxois uses local producers as much as possible. Bread, pastries, and burger buns are made by a bakery in the village, and a portion of the meat used is also supplied by the local butcher.
The campsite is proud of its region’s gastronomic tradition and is delighted to showcase its produce and specialties. Its wine list is made up mainly of wines from Burgundy. It also offers an organic beer, La Voûte, which is brewed 800 meters from the campsite.
As a beneficiary of the Sustainable Tourism Fund, we would like to thank Côte d’Or Attractivité and the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME) for their support.
