Due to the campsite’s sensitive location by the River Wye, traditional toilets with septic tanks aren’t feasible because all waste must be taken off-site. As a result, we’ve upgraded our facilities from portaloos to an eco-friendly vacuum toilet system!
This system, similar to those on planes and trains, uses vacuum pressure to transport waste to above-ground tanks located in the carpark. It uses just ½ litre of water per flush, compared to 5-10 litres for regular toilets, and avoids chemicals.
We’ve also added new hand wash and washing-up pods, as well as a disabled toilet and shower. The ‘grey water’ from these, and from our office and catering trailer, is now collected and properly disposed of.
This new technology allows our visitors to enjoy our beautiful countryside with minimal environmental impact!
