What is the Ecological Levy?

This fee amounts to 0.69€ per night and per person, allowing the campsite to set up actions in this sense with the participation of everyone.

The implementation of this fee makes it possible, for example, to finance the reprocessing of waste in order to accentuate selective sorting, to increase the progressive mulching of flower beds and, for the years to come, the creation of various eco-responsible projects, such as the creation of a compost area and more economical water treatment. Provision of more ecological products for the maintenance teams (eco-responsible toilet paper, green cleaning products)
