Minimalist camping: experience the freedom of simplicity

Start your sustainable adventure

Less is often more - especially when you're travelling sustainably. Minimalism not only reduces your luggage, but also your ecological footprint. If you value environmental friendliness and want to discover our campsites and partner companies, conscious preparation is the first step towards an environmentally friendly adventure.

Here are some practical tips on how you can be more minimalist and resource-efficient when travelling.

Packing list: What is really important?

Start with a well thought-out packing list. Concentrate on items that can fulfil several purposes. For example:

• Clothing: Use the layering principle and pack clothes that are easy to combine.
• Kitchen equipment: Choose a lightweight, reusable set of plates, cups and cutlery.
• Technology: Reduce electronic devices to the bare essentials. A smartphone can navigate, take photos and light the way - that's often enough.

Sustainable packaging solutions

Avoid single-use plastic. Use them instead:

• Cotton or mesh bag for your shopping.
• Refillable containers for cosmetics and food.
• Lightweight stainless steel bottles for water or other drinks.

These options are durable and reduce waste on your journey.

Regional instead of stockpiled

Instead of taking provisions with you, opt for regional products that you can buy locally when travelling with our app. Our partner businesses often offer you fresh, seasonal food. This not only supports the local economy, but also avoids unnecessary packaging waste.

Repairing instead of throwing away

Travelling minimalist also means looking after and repairing your equipment. Pack a small sewing kit or all-purpose glue to repair clothing or equipment while travelling. At our pitches, you'll have plenty of peace and quiet and perhaps even the opportunity to exchange valuable tips with other travellers.

Use resources more consciously

Be careful with water and energy. Many of our pitches offer electricity and water supplies that you can use. Here are a few tips to help you do this as responsibly as possible:

• Water: Use collapsible buckets to transport water efficiently and save space.
• Energy: Use solar chargers for your electronic devices.

Travelling consciously: Less is more

Minimalism doesn't just mean reducing physical things, but also travelling more consciously. Plan your route so that you use pitches that are not too far apart. Undertake daytime activities nearby to explore the surroundings sustainably and reduce your fuel consumption at the same time. This approach promotes a decelerated and environmentally friendly way of travelling.

Sharing instead of buying

You don't need to own many useful things. For example, borrow tools that you rarely use or swap items - such as books you have already read - with other travellers. Our partner companies often support this philosophy.

Conclusion:

Minimalist travelling can have a big impact

A minimalist lifestyle when travelling has many advantages: less luggage, less use of resources and more focus on the essentials. By planning consciously and acting sustainably, you can not only protect the environment, but also build a deeper connection with nature and the people on our pitches and at partner businesses.
