ABOUT US, the Sanctuary Camping Club

We LOVE outdoor living and

we’re passionate about the environment.

We believe in equality,

and of course,

we think a great camp is a sanctuary!

Simply Natural Camping.

WHO ARE WE?

The Sanctuary Camping Club works at bringing people together to experience and enjoy outdoor living.

We support naturally simple camping grounds.

We promote environmental sensitivity and we just LOVE creative quirky!

PLEASE NOTE That we are currently only accepting applications from sites in East Anglia.

You don’t have to be an Eco Warrior, but we ask you to be aware and try in whatever ways you can.

Our natural environment is incredible!

We offer you opportunities to spend a little time immersed in it. It’s a great way to encourage understanding and appreciation.

It’s clever stuff that has an important place for everyone and every living thing.

Our health and well being depend on it.

We’re trying to make it as simple as possible for you to either find or offer a place to relax and unwind. Somewhere to reconnect with nature and with each other and remember what’s truly important.

It’s all about enjoying being who you are and loving what you do.

It’s about being kind to each other and just caring….

WHAT WE ENCOURAGE

Camp sites pop up in all shapes and sizes. We encourage our sites, by helping and supporting them, to become:

a means of protecting and regenerating the environment,
a way of enhancing holistic well being,
beautiful, educational pockets of regeneration,
places for recreation with a real purpose!

Simple doesn’t have to mean zero facilities. We’re all blessed with the ease of 21st century comforts so we encourage a creative approach to provide them.

We’re GREAT at quirky! Recycle, up-cycle, re-invent, anything to support a carbon neutral footprint whilst still providing facilities with a unique twist.

It’s not that we believe man made things are bad, we just believe in the importance of awareness and respect for the incredible resources that support us.

We can help reintroduce wild flowers, cover crops, grasses and trees and we even have our own lovely biodiversity consultant if you’d like specialist help.

We try to encourage our sites to grow things like fresh herbs for campers to use, fruit trees to graze and even simple salad vegetables……. we’ll keep on trying to make sure you have the most wonderful experience possible.

Our little campers are especially important. This is about their future. We feel that things like mud kitchens, bug hotels, bean-tepees and plenty of safe space to play outdoors are the best possible way for them to learn. Remember lying in long grass and wildflowers? So do we, and we remind you to try and only cut what’s needed to clear pitches and pathways.

We’re full of ideas and we’re happy to share because that’s how ideas grow.

LIVING, LOVING and LEARNING to Protect the Environment

Learning and creativity shouldn't stop with childhood....

We firmly believe that the secret to staying young is to carry on learning and creating. The experience of camping in a beautiful environment is a great way to learn how best to care for it.

We encourage and support continuing education and learning through camping workshops and events that teach or showcase countryside skills, crafts, sustainable technologies, health and well-being. Anything that encourages living and creating what we need naturally, is perfect.

Sustainable and environmentally sensitive camping shelters can be fun, creative and wonderful places to stay for a while. From canvas shelters, through structures on wheels to converted vehicles and anything else you can think of, we welcome, and are happy to support innovation.

We’d love to help you make your ideas happen.
