Eco-friendly camping without the hassle

Camping is about unwinding… not creating tons of waste or hassle. The good news is: there are plenty of simple, accessible ways to make your nature getaway a lot kinder to the environment— without sacrificing fun or taste .

Here are our tips for eco-friendly, practical and 100% enjoyable camping.

🧼 1. Lighten your toiletry bag (and its impact)

Heat + travel + conventional products = often a less-than-ideal combination in nature. Opt for products designed for the outdoors:

• Bar soap , dry shampoo , dish soap : light, durable and zero waste

• Toothpaste tablets : does not melt, easy to carry

• Natural mosquito repellent and mineral sunscreen : gentler on the skin… and on the lakes 🛶

🥣 2. Eat well, eat light (and without a fridge)

Who wants to deal with a melted cooler or wasted food?

Here are the eco-camping champions:

• Freeze-dried meals : just rehydrate — convenient, compact, and often very tasty

• No-refrigeration snacks : nuts, trail mix, dried fruit, local bars

• Canned soft drinks : perfect for drinking cold or at room temperature, without opening a full bottle

• Reusable storage bags : replaces Ziplocs, lasts for years

🥶 3. Cooler tip: 2-in-1 frozen purees

To keep food fresh without chemical ice packs, here's a 100% local tip:

❄️ Épurée 's frozen purees serve as ice packs, and once you're there, you can simply heat them up with a little water on the stove for a comforting snack or drink. Zero waste, zero weight on the way back.

🍴 4. Say no to single-use plastic

When camping, we're often tempted to go for disposable... but there are much better options :

• Bamboo utensils , lightweight and durable cutlery

• Swedish terry cloth : super absorbent, dries quickly, replaces paper towels

• Compact napkins , bamboo straws, compostable dish brushes

🧘♀️ 5. Slow down, simplify, savor

Being eco-friendly while camping isn't about being perfect — it's about doing better with what you have , without overconsuming, without packing everything in, without forgetting to live.

• Plan only what you need

• Buy locally or discover local brands

• Wash, reuse, dry in the sun ☀️

✨ In summary

Eco-camping isn't more complicated—it's often simpler, lighter, and more enjoyable . And most importantly, it's consistent with why we go camping in the first place: to take care of ourselves and nature .
