Free Range Holidays

The Keycamp Free Range approach is all about the good life - the freedom to roam, be active or discover local culture. With so many spaces to explore and outdoor activities to get involved in, the whole family can have fun together - with as much fresh, clean air as you can handle.

New Award! Keycamp's efforts have again been recognised and have been awarded the Five Star Award for Responsible Tourism by the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO). This acknowledges the improvements we have made to ensure our holidays and business practices are more environmentally friendly. For further information, visit www.aito.co.uk.

Your eco-conscious holiday

Keycamp Eco Awards

At Keycamp, we are aware of the impact travel and tourism has on the environment, so we try to ensure our activities minimise this impact and support responsible tourism. That's why we always try to use environmentally friendly materials in our accommodation and travel packs and give you the chance to make a difference by providing greener travel options. After all, we all want to ensure the great outdoors stay 'great' for many years to come.

Reduce your carbon footprint

A Keycamp holiday is much kinder to the environment than many other types of holiday and you can lower your carbon footprint further by choosing a parc that's close to a port or train station. Find this where you see this logo on parc pages.

FSC Certification

We're proud to have achieved FSC certification for printing our brochures on paper from approved, sustainable sources. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests. All our material is printed on paper that is 75% recycled and 25% FSC and is manufactured at the Dalum Mill in Denmark - the most environmentally friendly mill in the world.

A selection of parcs have been awarded the Keycamp Holidays Eco Award. Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze status has been presented dependent on the number and type of environmentally friendly initiatives they have implemented on parc.

Look out for these awards on our campsite pages:
