Way Out West

Code Of Conduct
 

1

Enjoy the freedom and show consideration

You love the freedom of travelling with your home on wheels and soaking up the atmosphere when you stop. Follow rules and signage so that others can enjoy the same freedom. 
– Park with plenty of space and only where permitted 
– Camping is only allowed on campsites and motorhome pitches 
– You may park and rest at car parks and rest areas 
– However, if you set up a table, grill and awning or open your roof hatch, it counts as camping, not parking  

Only stop or stay overnight where you're sure it's allowed – Local signs and information take priority. Apps and maps may be outdated – Remember, when you stay on campsites, you support the local community

You are a guest in sensitive nature

You travel to feel close to nature. You want to hear the birds as you wake and feel the sun and wind on your face. Be a considerate guest and protect animals and plants. 
– Do not drive, park or camp in dunes, heathlands, green areas or forest edges 
– Only stay overnight where you know it's permitted 
– Stick to paths and respect fences and signs 
– Avoid lighting fires or digging holes

Simple living leaves no trace

You travel for the simple and the beautiful. Watch the sun set over the North Sea. Sip your coffee with the doors open, embrace the calm and leave the place as lovely as you found it. 
– Take all rubbish with you or dispose of it in a bin, never beside it 
– Only empty wastewater at approved facilities 
– Never empty your toilet into regular toilets 
– Avoid noise, especially early in the morning and late at night

Small encounters make a big difference

You seek not only breathtaking views but also unique experiences. Be open and welcoming, and support the area by shopping, eating and staying locally. This builds goodwill, also for those who visit after you. 
– Be considerate when parking and willing to move 
– Be especially mindful where space is limited in small harbours and car parks 
– Do not let camping furniture or equipment take up public space 
– Shop in local stores and visit restaurants and cafés 
– Be friendly, greet the locals, and ask if you’re unsure. People are happy to help
