One of the biggest challenges we face today in our camp is waste. While camping, it's easy to forget how much rubbish we generate – packaging, bottles, wrappers, food leftovers. That's why we have clearly marked bins for waste separation throughout the camp, and we kindly ask you to dispose of your waste correctly. It may seem like a small thing, but every properly discarded item means less work for nature – and for the people who are doing their best to keep the camp clean. It also helps if we bring as little plastic as possible and use reusable containers and cutlery, which greatly reduces the amount of waste we leave behind.

Many times, we hear people say that the trash they see on the ground isn’t theirs. But nature doesn’t know the difference. If you see a wrapper, a can, or any kind of litter – do nature, your fellow campers, and the staff a favor: pick it up. It's a sign of respect not just for the environment, but for everyone working hard to keep the campsite beautiful. Plus, it sets a great example for others .

Respect isn't limited to the environment. It's just as important to respect one another – especially the camp staff, who work behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly, and all the other guests who come here for peace and relaxation. The culture of camping is reflected in how we speak to others, how we use shared facilities, and whether we follow the camp rules. Quiet hours exist for a reason – because someone in the nearby tent might want to sleep instead of listening to loud music or late-night conversations. Everyone has the right to rest and enjoy the calm of nature.

We’d also like to remind you that digging trenches around tents is strictly forbidden. This damages the ground and the grassy areas that other guests also rely on. It’s equally important that we don’t damage camp equipment – benches, tables, playgrounds, and other shared facilities. If something breaks or gets damaged by accident, please let the staff know – we’re happy to help. And before heading home, take a moment to check if you’ve left your pitch clean and in good condition. Let’s leave our spot as we found it – or even better.

Camp Menina isn’t a hotel. It’s a shared space – open, green, simple, and precisely because of that – precious. Its value isn’t in luxury, but in the atmosphere we create together. Every smile, every piece of trash picked up, every kind word or respectful gesture toward the staff means more than you may think.

So the next time you pitch your tent, remember – nature gave us space. Now it’s our turn to give back, with responsibility, respect, and kindness.

Let’s not forget – wherever we go, let’s bring respect, calm, and order with us.
