Our commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism

Our Eco-Responsible Commitment & Vision of Sustainable Tourism

At Camping Le Ventoulou, located in the heart of the Dordogne Valley, we’ve always been committed to sustainable tourism that respects the environment. As a member of the Sites & Paysages network, we fully share the values of the Natur’Camp CSR charter charter: preserving nature, valuing people, supporting the region and acting for the future.

Sustainable Tourism Inspired by the Natur’Camp Charter

The Natur’Camp approach, supported by the campsites in the Sites & Paysages network, structures our actions around simple principles: reduce our impact, protect biodiversity, encourage responsible behavior and promote vacations rooted in the local area.

This charter guides our day-to-day decisions and encourages us to go even further in protecting our environment, managing our resources wisely and meeting our social commitments.


Our Concrete Actions for the Environment

At Le Ventoulou, sustainable tourism isn’t just talk: it’s a visible reality from the moment you arrive.

  • Preservation of local biodiversity:
    Preserved natural areas and flower meadows
    Installation of nest boxes, insect hotels, refuges for micro-fauna
    Pesticide-free maintenance, respect for natural cycles
  • Responsible resource management:
    Reduction and precise monitoring of water and energy consumption
    LED lighting, rational watering, local plants
    Eco-labelled cleaning products
  • Waste reduction and circular economy:
    Selective sorting throughout the campsite
    Composters available to holidaymakers
    Reducing the use of single-use plastics
    Promoting local, short-circuit products

Le Guide du Vacancier Responsable

As part of the Sites & Paysages network, we encourage all our guests to behave responsibly. Visit Responsible Holidaymaker’s Guideavailable from the network, offers simple and inspiring advice on :

  • Adopt eco-citizen gestures during your stay
  • Reduce your impact on the environment
  • Supporting the local, sustainable economy

This guide is not intended to make you feel guilty, but to provide concrete, positive guidelines: everyone can take action at their own level, and every little bit helps.


The Responsible Camping Charter

Because awareness-raising starts early, Sites & Paysages has created the Charte du petit campeur responsable. This fun, illustrated charter helps children learn to respect nature during their vacations:

  • simple gestures to adopt (saving water, sorting waste, respecting sensitive areas…)
  • compréhension de l’impact de leurs actions de façon amusante
  • a sense of responsibility and pride in becoming little protectors of the environment

This educational approach reinforces our conviction that even the youngest can be agents of change.

Camping Le Ventoulou is proud to be part of the Natur’Camp collective dynamic, within the Sites & Paysages network. It’s not just an individual commitment: we’re co-constructing sustainable actions, educational tools and shared practices with other campsites.
