At El Tranquilo, we are dedicated to looking after our environment. We are proud to have been commended for our commitment.
Environmental Statement
The el Tranquilo site is set near to Pinoso, in a beautiful hamlet with stunning views and rolling countryside. We are located on the border of one of Pinoso’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We believe this is one of the main reasons as to why our visitors choose to holiday with us, and are dedicated in providing visitors with a holiday of high quality whilst supporting our local community and preserving our beautiful surroundings for the prosperity and enjoyment of future generations.
At el Tranquilo, we are already on the path to becoming green. We try and encourage our visitors to recycle to reduce the amount of waste produced; water saving measures are in place in our toilet and shower blocks to help us become more energy efficient, and low energy light bulbs are used throughout the park to preserve energy and reduce light pollution. We believe that small measures have a great impact.
Going green benefits us all. When you are on holiday at Camping el Tranquilo, you are in close contact with the environment. We believe we should try and give something back to the environment. We feel that your experience as a visitor could be enhanced by having the “feel good factor”, knowing that your enjoyment is having less of an impact. But most of all, we want to make sure that you have a wonderful holiday with us.”
So, what are we doing in being green?
We use low energy light bulbs. Low energy light bulbs use 80% less electricity but produce the same amount of light. By using less electricity, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is much less, therefore being more environmentally friendly.
We use water saving devices. Water is a precious resource which needs to be shared by people and wildlife alike. Water shortages can affect all wildlife and the environment. Our toilet blocks uses with low flush toilets.
We use environmentally friendly cleaning products. At Camping el Tranquilo, environmentally friendly cleaning products are used within all our accommodation and toilet/shower blocks on the park. These products help to reduce the number harmful chemicals you are exposed to, therefore helping to keep you healthier and reduce the number of negative impacts to the surrounding environment. By using these products, it also allows many areas of infrastructure of the park to incur less damage.
We use recyclable products. To help support the environment even further, Camping el Tranquilo use recyclable black bags for the disposal of any waste. By using this as a method of helping to preserve our area, it means that when the bags or rubbish are taken away for further disposal they biodegrade and are therefore kinder to the environment. We encourage our customers to recycle glass, paper, plastic and aluminium. We have two recycling points on site. We recycle glass, paper, plastic and aluminium too.
We use our own ground water. This naturally sourced from the ground using a water device called a Borehole therefore using less energy and water from the mains water supply.
We compost our hedge and tree cuttings. We collect all our cuttings, compost them and spread them on the ground at the end of the season to replenish the ground.
We use solar panels. In 2016 we installed solar panels into our toilet and shower block. The solar panels heat stored water to service the showers and sinks for dishwashing, therefore saving electricity that would otherwise be used.
We buy locally sourced produce. All of the produce used at Camping el Tranquilo is locally sourced helping to reduce the number of miles in which it travels to reach the park. We sell Pinoso produce in the shop, and our restaurant uses locally sourced food too. By doing this, we reduce the number of food miles travelled, reducing air pollution within the area and supporting our local economy.
We employ staff that live within the local area. Each member of staff employed at Camping el Tranquilo lives within the local area. We see this as a positive impact to the environment as the distance that each employee travels is much less, and we are also supporting our local economy

- Recycle your waste where possible. We have two recycling points at Camping el Tranquilo; please use the map to locate the one nearest to you.
- Turn your appliances off when not in use, that standby light on your television uses more electricity than you would think
- Don’t leave the tap running unnecessarily – only fill the kettle with as much water as you need.
- Try and turn the lights off when you leave the room so not to waste electricity.
- Try and re-use carrier bags where possible. If you are buying eggs in our shop, why not reuse your egg carton?
- Pinoso town is only a 30 minute walk and there are lots of lovely walks around Camping el Tranquilo to enjoy. Keep our air fresh!
