The responsible traveller's charter

in motorhomes, campervans and converted vans

"I will use common sense where I park to protect nature and nice places!"

Pillar 1

Parking

Before parking (with my motorhome, equipped camper van or van), I will make sure the place and its access are authorised by local regulations or the owner of the place - properly, on one parking spot only - without gathering several vehicles and without staying several nights at the same place, especially if the place is free, very busy or limited in capacity (=itinerancy) - observing a respectful distance from others and greet other travellers

Pillar 2

Black and grey water draining

I will drain my black and grey waters only in areas designated for this purpose, never in the natural environment. Thousands of designated areas exist on the app! And I accept to contribute to the costs of services that may have a fee.

Pillar 3

Supporting the local economy

And I will support local business as much as possible (markets, local producers, restaurants...).

Pillar 4

Responsible behaviour

I will avoid "camping behaviour" on public roads because unpacking accessories (wheel chocks, awnings, tables, tents...) can be forbidden or can harm the nomad travellers' image.

Pillar 5

Natural environment

- I leave nothing but footprints. If I can't dispose or recycle my waste, I will take it with me - Nature is everyone's responsibility, I won't hesitate to pick up waste found at the spot - I won't light campfires or barbecues in nature, unless explicitly authorised - I will be discreet and respect the tranquillity of the place (no loud music, TV, pets...), both during day and night - I will choose another spot if it's already "full"

Pillar 6

On a private place

- I will introduce myself when I arrive - I will respect animals and the life rhythm of the place - I will ask permission before unpacking exterior materials (including barbecue) and my pets Travelling is being responsible and respectful of all that surrounds me... It's all up to me! #NATUREPROTECT
