Guernsey is welcoming the first eco-camping site on the island this month. Launching on the date of the summer solstice, 21 June, WildGuernsey is a new sustainable land project, aiming to offer guests a ‘true west coast experience’ that reconnects with the natural environment.
WildGuernsey’s WildCamping will be the first eco-campsite and eco-accommodation on the island with tipis for guests to stay in and luxury bathroom facilities. Guests will have the option to stay at either personal tipis or canvas tents, choosing between:
- Barefoot WildCamping: Pitch your own tent in a private area amongst mature blackthorn hedges
- Bare Canvas Comfort: Canvas tents uniquely fitted out
- Simple Luxury: Just turn up and everything will be ready for you, including comfortable sleeping arrangements.
WildGuernsey will offer a choice of tailored packages and activities such as WildSwimming, WildForaging, WildSeaSnorkelling, surfing, guided walks, cycling, beach craft, fishing and kayaking.
A range of locally sourced products will also be available, from sloe jelly, lemon curd and seaweed crisps to bath truffles, massage bars, hand woven gathered baskets and even wedding favours.
WildGuernsey will be an interactive farm experience: it will feature demonstrations on how to live sustainably and will encourage guests to enjoy the island car free, with incentives such as free cycle rental and giving them bus pass during their stay.
WildCamping’s location is one of the most peaceful corners of Guernsey, with beautiful views out to the sea and access directly to the beach.
For the first time this summer, motorhome owners will also be able to travel to Guernsey, as the Vaugrat and Fauxquet Valley campsites have now opened their doors to motorhomes for overnight stays.
