Nysted Camping – Eco-responsible Holiday for your Family
How we made Nysted Beach camping eco-friendly
On Nysted Camping, the energy consumption has been limited by the use of LED technology on the entire campsite. Furthermore, the energy consumption is based on power from wind turbines and a big part of the lighting is controlled by time or sensors in order to reduce the consumption. Water-reducing filters have been installed to ensure the water saving at the campsite. Waste is sorted in 19 different categories, all cleaning products are either Nordic Ecolabelled (Svanemærket) or the EU Ecolabelled, and all areas are maintained without the use of pesticides. In addition, Nysted Camping inspires all guests to a more sustainable lifestyle, and we work with many local partners, so you get sustainable experiences, including:
- Waste collection in collaboration with the Danish Society for Nature Conservation to avoid waste in nature
- Beer and wine tasting in collaboration with local food producers
- Guided bike rides along the coast with descriptions of the landscape formed by the ice age, flora and fauna
- The challenge “Find 10 Things in Nature”, where children have to find plant and animal species based on pictures
- Sea kayak with a nature guide
- Catch of sticklebacks, crabs, cuttlefish and shrimps in the sea
- Seal safari to the colony outside the breeding season, where you can experience the grey seal
- Planting 100 new trees on the campsite in collaboration the local kindergarten to increase biodiversity
- Sessions with yoga and meditation
Look for the EU Ecolabel before you choose the Campsite
If you want to go on holiday with a good, green conscience, it is important that you choose a campsite with the EU Ecolabel. In Europe, only eight campsites are certified with the EU Ecolabel. All certifications are limited in time, so the campsite must continuously improve its footprint. At the same time, the EU Ecolabel motivates campsites to a more environmentally-friendly operation, so we do not put pressure on water and energy resources and threaten local biodiversity.
