We’re committed to protecting the beautiful wildlife and landscape here at The Deepings Caravan Park — and we invite all our guests to join us.
Small actions from each visitor can make a big difference to the environment, local nature, and our shared future.

Here are simple ways you can help during your stay.

🌳 1. Respect Wildlife & Natural Habitats

• Enjoy our new wildflower meadows, trees, and wildlife areas, but please stay on paths where possible.
• Avoid disturbing bird boxes, bat boxes, hedgehog houses, and bug hotels.
• Keep pets under control to protect ground-nesting birds and small mammals.
• Do not feed wildlife — it can harm their natural behaviour.

Every step you take to give wildlife space helps them thrive.

🔋 2. Save Energy Where You Can

Our park runs on a 110kW solar array, solar lighting, and other renewable systems — and you can help reduce energy use even further.

• Turn off lights and appliances when not needed.
• Unplug chargers when not in use.
• Use natural daylight as much as possible.
• Keep doors and windows closed when heating is on (in caravans or lodges).

Small choices add up to big energy savings.

🚰 3. Use Water Responsibly

Fresh water is a precious resource. You can help by:

• Taking shorter showers.
• Running taps only when needed.
• Reporting leaks or dripping taps to reception.
• Avoiding unnecessary washing of vehicles.

Protecting water helps protect the wetlands and wildlife nearby.

🚮 4. Reduce, Reuse & Recycle

We compost food waste and garden waste onsite and encourage responsible waste reduction across the park.

• Use recycling bins for paper, plastics, cans and glass.
• Bring reusable bags, bottles and containers when exploring.
• Avoid single-use plastics where possible.
• Take leftover items home rather than discarding them.

Recycling helps protect nature and reduces our carbon footprint.

🦔 5. Help Us Protect Nature-Friendly Areas

We are planting 145 native trees, developing a wetland area, and creating habitats for frogs, dragonflies and pollinators.

You can help by:

• Keeping to designated paths around new planting areas.
• Avoiding trampling wildflowers or long-grass zones.
• Not leaving food scraps outdoors (they attract unwanted pests).
• Reporting any wildlife sightings — we love to hear about them!

By respecting habitat zones, you support our conservation work.

🚗 6. Travel Sustainably Where Possible

If you’re able to:

• Car-share when visiting the park.
• Use our EV charging point if you have an electric vehicle.
• Walk or cycle around the local area when practical.
• Support local shops and services to reduce travel miles.

Greener travel means cleaner air and a calmer environment.

🔈 7. Keep Noise to a Minimum

We use low-noise electric maintenance tools to reduce wildlife disturbance — and we ask guests to help maintain a peaceful environment.

• Avoid loud music, especially at night.
• Keep noise low around wildlife areas.
• Respect quiet hours so everyone can enjoy the tranquillity.

Peace and quiet benefit both guests and wildlife.

🛍 8. Support Local & Sustainable Businesses

Where possible, choose:

• Locally produced food
• Eco-friendly products
• Businesses that support conservation or sustainability

This helps strengthen the local community and reduces environmental impact.

♻️ 9. Be Mindful of Fire Safety & Waste

• Use BBQs and firepits only in designated areas.
• Never leave litter, food or packaging behind.
• Dispose of cigarette ends safely.

Clean spaces help wildlife stay healthy and safe.

🤝 10. Leave No Trace

Before leaving:

• Remove all litter from your pitch.
• Recycle where possible.
• Leave nature exactly as you found it.
• Consider choosing low- or zero-waste products next time you visit.

Together, we can keep The Deepings Caravan Park a beautiful, wildlife-friendly place for all.
