The Experience

Usually we walk with up to 6 rescue dogs first thing in the morning followed by a wide variety of tasks around the place depending on what needs doing and the time of year. Spring involves garden tasks, in autumn we make wine and preserve fruits and vegetables. We make craft beer several time through the year. There are cleaning and other jobs like recycling and renovation projects connected with the campsite and guest house.

I loved the place, I had the opportunity to spend my nights in a caravan for the first time in my life. Sara and Jhon are very kind and friendly so I always feel comfortable around them. You can visit very beautiful places with the bikes that they have and get immerse in all the nature around.

Even though my time here was short I still enjoyed every minute of my volunteering experience. An extremely peaceful, beautiful location. Work was never too hard and there was never too much of it. John and Sara are really welcoming hosts. The food was great, especially the homemade wine that they so generously shared. Definitely a place worth visiting again.

I stayed at the camping for 2 weeks. The tasks were not that hard. It was nice to have a variety in tasks. Walking the dogs was part of a daily routine. It was a nice way to start the day. Lunch and dinner were taken care of and the meals were really tasty. I spend most of my days with John and he is a very kind and funny host. Sara is friendly as well. The camping is located quite remotely, but there's enough to do in the surroundings. I would recommend this place.

I had a lovely time at Camping the camping, many thanks to Sara & John: I highly appreciate how you welcomed me in your home! The week that I spent there was very relaxing since it was not the high season anymore, so sometimes I would have liked to work a little more but there was simply not a lot to do. I would definitely do this again, it's truly a magical place. :)

My experience here was really nice! I had the opportunity to help with the content creation for the place which was really cool and fun for me. They are using some permaculture principles in their way of life and I like that they care so much about the environment ♻️ I have learned about different things like homemade wine & beer and we even made beer from scratch🍻 The dogs and cats are so cute and friendly and we started our mornings with taking the dogs for a walk in the beautiful mountains with John and learning about the area and the plants around🪴 Thank you for the experience !
