About The Greener Camping Club
The Greener Camping Club was established in 2015 by four friends, themselves experienced campsite owners, with a shared passion for sustainable, low impact camping holidays.
At present, they have over 140 campsites. These carefully vetted campsites share the common theme of high-quality camping in beautiful settings. The majority of their campsites are located in west Wales, but they are slowly adding more throughout England and the UK. Their goal is for a network of high-quality and environmentally friendly campsites throughout the UK and Wales which will make their members happy campers.
When it comes to camping and glamping, they have you covered. They have a large selection of member-exclusive campgrounds in spectacular settings. Each year, membership costs just £12 (the membership year runs from January to December). Additionally, they have the "Trees for Life" program, which plants a tree for every new member registered. So far, they have planted over 32,000 trees - and plan on planting another 14,000 trees this year. With these steps, their hope is that these trees will offset some of the environmental impact responsible for any trip—even the eco-friendliest getaway. These trees are funded by the yearly membership fee.

These campsites in Wales and England are some of the nicest we've seen. They have the lowest environmental impact, using renewable energy and fostering zero waste initiatives to achieve 100% recycling.
In order to provide a safe environment for their wildlife, they have gone to great lengths to plant colourful and exotic plants. They also limit the number of visitors on site at any given time.
When it comes to space, they pride their selves on giving you plenty. You'll never have guy lines overlapping and most of their sites are placed with distance in mind. There is more space for nature and less mowing. We don't expect manicured lawns everywhere - it's good for the environment.
