Living with composting toilets successfully while glamping

Wouldn't you love to have a yarn like this?

Sophie, the Glamping Host

"You should see our glamping setup—big canvas tents, fairy lights, the works. It’s luxury in the middle of nowhere, and our guests eat it up. To keep it eco-chic, we’ve got composting toilets in each tent. They’re gorgeous, like something out of a magazine, and totally odour-free. Guests are always surprised at how easy they are to use—no flushing, just a bit of compost media, and done. We empty the compost into a compost bin between bookings and use it for the flowerbeds around the site. It’s low-maintenance, and it fits our whole ‘green luxury’ vibe perfectly. The composting toilets made our glamping business stand out, and I love seeing guests’ faces when they realize sustainable can be this stylish!"

Why Compost in Glamping?

Glamping combines the beauty of nature with the comforts of luxury, making it a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking an upscale experience. Composting toilets are the perfect solution for glamping sites, providing waterless, odour-free sanitation that seamlessly blends with the environment. By choosing composting toilets, you enhance the eco-friendly appeal of your glamping accommodations while ensuring guests enjoy a modern and hygienic experience.

What you need to know!

Composting toilets differ from traditional toilets, offering a sustainable option that fits perfectly within the luxurious atmosphere of glamping. They are designed for easy maintenance and can handle the occasional high usage of guests without compromising on comfort or cleanliness.

Here are a few important considerations for using composting toilets in glamping settings:

• Ventilation: Proper ventilation is essential for preventing odours. Ensure that the venting system is discreetly integrated into the design of your accommodations, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
• Capacity: Consider the capacity of your composting system based on the expected number of guests and the frequency of stays. It’s wise to have additional composting chambers for peak times, ensuring a seamless experience for your visitors.
• Personalized Solutions: Every glamping site is unique, so reach out to us at 0800 022 027 for tailored advice on the best composting toilet system to meet your needs.
• Where to Get Your Compost Media (System Bulking Agent & Treatments): Having the right compost media is vital for the efficiency of your composting toilets. We pride ourselves on providing glamping businesses with clear recommendations on the ideal media types and sourcing options. Given the nature of glamping, we ensure that our clients understand how to store and utilize the necessary materials conveniently, allowing for a smooth operation during guest stays.

What to do with your composted materials (the end product)

Managing composted materials is an important aspect of maintaining your glamping site.

For luxury glamping accommodations:

✓ Composted materials can be safely disposed of or used to enrich soil in landscaped areas on your property, promoting sustainability and enhancing the natural beauty of your site.

✓ If local regulations allow, consider creating a designated composting area where guests can learn about and engage with the composting process, enriching their glamping experience.

If waste disposal options are limited:

✓ Transport composted materials to a proper disposal facility or use them for further composting at home, ensuring minimal impact on the environment.

✓ If the system allows for it, store the compost until you can arrange for safe disposal or use, helping you maintain a clean and inviting space for guests.

Sustainable results!

Embracing composting toilets in your glamping business not only aligns with sustainable practices but also enhances the luxurious experience you offer your guests. By promoting eco-friendly waste management, you help preserve the natural environment while providing a modern and comfortable stay, ensuring your glamping site stands out as an exceptional destination.
