Short Version:

 

Since December 2023, Mwnt Camping has become a campsite operating within the Eco Camping Club (also established by the founders of Mwnt Camping). We are recognised by the Welsh Government as an organisation that promotes outdoor leisure.

 

When you stay at Mwnt Camping, you will need to be a member of the Eco Camping Club, but don’t worry it’s free! We used to have to charge campers £12 a year when we were part of a different camping club. We’d prefer to make camping more affordable for visitors and felt that the membership fees we were collecting were not offering good enough value to campers, so the Eco Camping Club was brought into existence!

 

Oh, one other thing – if you are thinking of setting up your own campsite, we may be able to assist you and even grant you an exemption status, if you wanted to run an Eco Camping Club affiliated site, email us for details.

Long Version if you want to know a bit more about the club constitution:

 

Purpose of the Eco Camping Club:

 

The Eco Camping club is focused on our members and enabling ecologically sustainable camping as a means of recreation:

​

To meet the needs of visitors who are concerned about the impact that their leisure and recreational activities might have on the environment.

 

To promote a model of camping that is sustainable with a focus on land management, recycling and rehabilitation of poorly managed farmland.

 

To educate and empower people on the benefits and possibilities of living a more self-sufficient life, with tours of our own organic food growing methods etc.

 

To inspire people to make changes to their own lifestyle in enjoyable ways once back at home (by demonstrating our gardening methods, rewilding, natural composting etc).

 

To encourage visitors to try our produce and experience the quality of home-grown food, with much lower carbon footprint that supermarket shopping.
