Classification with the focus on the guest
The campsite classifications are carried out by an external party, and there’s even a special classification board appointed to interpret the regulations and make decisions on appeals and exemptions.
How the classification works

Quick information
The number of stars provides a quick guide to the standard you can expect
at a campsite. The stars summarise the marks for the campsite in four areas:
hygiene, environment, service and activities.
And a more detailed description
The coloured bars provide a more detailed description of the campsite and grade the five areas that we know are important to the holiday experience.
Sanitary - orange bar
The campsite’s sanitary services for personal hygiene (e.g. toilets, showers, child hygiene, family room), everyday tasks (e.g. places to cook and wash up) and other utilities (e.g. latrine emptying stations for motorhomes).
The area - green bar
Campsite infrastructure (e.g. entrances, pitch sizes), pitch service (e.g. power points, Internet) and surroundings (e.g. waste collection, maintenance of external areas at the campsite).
Facilities - yellow bar
Services that the campsite offers, for example, reception, trained staff, shops, restaurants and cafés.
Activities - blue bar
Activity areas at the campsite such as playgrounds, pools, playing fields, mini-golf, jogging tracks, and bicycle and canoe hire.
Events - red bar
Organised activities at the campsite such as leader-led arrangements for children and adults, shows, troubadours and dancing.
VM - Wilderness camping
Wilderness camping. Offers a camping experience on nature’s
terms. Wilderness camping is classified but not given stars or bars.
