Green Policy

At Grampian Campervan Hire, we are taking proactive steps towards helping to meet the Net Zero Waste target by ensuring our business has minimal impact on our environment.

Supporting Eco Friendly Tourism

We are extremely passionate about the environment and how we can make changes in any way possible to do better.

From January 2014, government initiative Zero Waste Scotland has set an ambitious target of 70% recycling and just 5% of waste going to landfill by 2025.

This will be achieved by requiring all businesses, large and small, to separate plastic, glass, metal, paper and card for recycling.

At Grampian Campervan Hire, we are taking proactive steps towards helping to meet this target and ensuring our business has minimal impact on our environment.

We have implemented a number of measures in our campervans to reduce the impact on our environment;

Our vans come fully equipped, so there is no need for customers to purchase one-time use items for their trip
All accessories provided in the vans are reusable, from BBQs to washing bags
Our plates, cups and cutlery are made from bamboo and fully reusable
All cleaning products provided in the vans and used by us to maintain the vans are eco friendly and biodegradable. They are bought locally from the Ethical Gift Shop & Refillery in Huntly, so we are supporting other local small businesses too.
We actively encourage our customers to recycle their waste items
Each campervan is supplied with compostable bin bags. And for items requiring bags, we provide handmade material bags which we make ourselves.
Family games and educational information is provided in our vans to teach children how to respect our countryside, nature, wildlife and the environment

Around our site we have also implemented environmentally friendly measures, including;

Creation of compost bins using reusable materials to reduce our landfill waste
Installation of waste disposal facilities for campervans and caravans, which both our customers and persons visiting our site are able to use to dispose of grey and black waste
We collect soda cans separately and these will be donated to local recycling charity.
Bird boxes installed around our site to nurture our local wildlife

We will continue to implement the necessary measures to ensure we actively play our part in sustainability and promoting the circular economy.

Happy campers!

We had a fantastic experience with Grampian Campervan Hire from start to finish. We had a few logistical issues around insurance before the trip, and Mieke was incredibly helpful in guiding us through everything. She went out of her way to make sure we could still go ahead with the journey, which we really appreciated. The campsite is very easy to find on Google Maps and is just about 15 minutes away from Huntly. When we arrived, Mieke was already there waiting for us, so there was no delay at all. As first-time campers, we found her explanation of everything very clear and reassuring. She took the time to walk us through all the essentials and shared her number, encouraging us to call anytime if we needed help. The return process was just as smooth, quick, straightforward, and completely hassle-free. Overall, it was a 10 on 10 experience. A lovely couple to deal with, and a special thanks again to Mieke for being so supportive and accommodating. We will definitely be going back and recommending them to our friends.

What a lovely company. They look after you from day one! No question too small or silly. This was my first time in a “van” and I loved it so much had a second equally enjoyable trip. Just myself and two happy dogs. The campers were immaculate and thoughtful little extras were lovely . Wonderful to have the dogs with no quibble from Mieke. Can’t fault the service and care in any way :)

Loved it! My wife and I rented 'Tap O Noth' for 6 nights and loved it! We travelled down to Pebbles, then onto Leeds via Alnwick, Redcar, Whitby and Scarborough, before heading back north via Chester-le-Street. Most of our camping was done off-grid, which the van handled very well. Despite some cool nights, we were kept warm and comfortable. The van had a lot of space inside and due to the interior layout, it actually felt larger inside than some campervans designed with a larger birth rating. Mieke was very friendly and helpful. She gave us a thorough induction and was very quick to respond to messages with any questions we had.
