Environment
Our commitment to the Environment is another great reason to stay at the Kimberley Riverside Campground. Our pool is mainly heated by Passive-Solar panels which use the sunshine to heat water through a series of tubes on located on our roof. Our office operates a paper free reservation system and goes to great lengths recycling and re-using paper. Our cleaning crews use natural and environmentally safe Green-Seal Certified cleaning products. Our toilet paper and paper towels are all made from recyclable materials and we have several recycling stations throughout the campground for paper, plastic, cardboard, glass and all types of drink containers. We have some of the most environmentally-friendly toilets on the market which utilize a low-volume/high pressure tank that uses half the water of a standard toilet. Additionally we use LED light bulbs and are in the process of switching our streetlights to LED to save on energy consumption!
