Proud of our country and environment, we want it preserved for future generations, so we try and do our part by ensuring that at each of our camp sites the only thing we leave behind are foot prints. Our eco-friendly seasonal and mobile camps, utilize the power of the sun, lighting our mess and guest tents, powering the wifi and recharging phones and cameras.
