Eco tents
Eco tents for low impact resorts
Tents that sit lightly on the land: on decks instead of concrete, with services planned to save water and power, and structures that can be moved away.
Low impact
What makes a stay low impact
A tent is already lighter on the land than a building. The choices around it decide how light it really is.
- No slab: raised decks on point footings leave the soil and its drainage as they were.
- Reversible: a tent and its deck can be taken down and moved, leaving little behind.
- Water: low flow fittings, rainwater collection and planned treatment of waste water.
- Power: LED lighting, solar where it suits, and shade and ventilation before air conditioning.
- Local: local timber for decks where possible, local staff and local food.
We say “low impact” rather than “zero impact”. Any stay has a footprint; the aim is to keep it small and honest.

Questions
Eco tents: common questions
What is an eco tent?
A tent set up to keep its effect on the land small: on a deck instead of concrete, with careful use of water and power, and removable later.
Are your tents made from sustainable materials?
Frames are galvanised steel or treated timber and covers are canvas or PVC coated fabric, chosen to last many seasons. Long life and repairable parts are a large part of a low footprint.
Can eco tents run on solar power?
Lighting, fans and charging can run on solar with a battery. Air conditioning usually needs grid or a larger system.
Do eco tents need permission?
Usually yes, even without a slab. Rules differ by state and by zone, so check with your local authority.
