Description:
|
Swimming pool with reed bed filtration system. Onsite noticeboard: "Landscaping: Huttopia, environmentally-friendly campsites in the heart of nature. Huttopia sites have adapted and blended themselves perfectly in with their environment which they endeavour to leave intact. In order to maintain homogeneity, the hedges are not just trimmed straight. Quickset hedges, coppices, groves... make for easy management of the pitches, views, boundary lines. The vegetation is pruned annually in accordance with strict rules underlining this committment. The same principle applies to soil management. Huttopia campsites are plots representative of the regional landscape rather than just gardens."
