How to adopt the right attitude when camping?

On campsites, discretion is key. People come here to connect with nature and listen to birdsong, rather than their neighbours’ conversations.

  • Do not play music, even at low volume, and do not play instruments. Instead, let yourself be enveloped by the sounds of the bush!
  • Speak softly. If you are in a group, keep as quiet as possible and minimise your voices so as not to disturb the peace and quiet of other campers.
  • Above all, do not try to attract animals by leaving water and food on the campsite.
  • Use soft lights and turn them off while you sleep. Do not use powerful torches to shine on animals. The night belongs to them!
  • Avoid constantly slamming car doors.
  • Sleep with your car keys handy. Sometimes the alarm goes off unexpectedly at night.
