How To Be ‘Green’ When Choosing A Site For Caravans In Melbourne

Those passionate about the environment will know that buying a ‘green’ caravan in Melbourne and ensuring that you tow it as sustainably as possible is not enough when it comes to minimizing our carbon footprint. To help prevent your effects on the environment from growing out of control, you should pay a great deal of attention to the site that you choose for your caravan:

  • If you will be dumping your wastewater onto the grass (after washing the dishes, for example) make sure that you use biodegradable detergents that will not harm the environment.
  • Choose a caravan or national park that has its own recycling facilities, otherwise make sure that you properly dispose of your rubbish on the way home. This includes separating the recyclables from the landfill.
  • Get caravans in melbourne fitted out with ‘green’ energy solutions, such as solar panels on the roof or even rechargeable batteries that can be charged by the sun.
  • If the site does not have its own toilets, make sure that you have biodegradable toilet paper on hand. You should always dig your own hole (well away from your camp site) and cover it over when you leave.
  • Choose a site that has been classed as environmentally friendly by the government, local council or other authoritative body. Often, these parks will provide ‘green’ alternatives for many things.


To ensure that your travels are as ‘green’ as possible, you should make sure that you choose an appropriate site for caravans in Melbourne. Once you have chosen your site, it is of equal importance that you treat it with respect so that, when you leave, it’s as if you were never there in the first place.
