Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

Camping at Camp Full Monte is all about reducing the impact of your holiday on the Montenegro environment. The dry toilets, waterless urinals, gravity- fed water and our grey water irrrigation systems at Camp Full Monte will all drastically reduce the amount of water you use on your holiday without compromising your enjoyment.

Re-use & Re-PurposeCollecting discarded baths, beer crates and palm leaves for re-use.
As you look around you'll begin to notice we are on a mission to re-use things that are routinely thrown away every day.  Glass cannot be re-cycled Montenegro so we re-used 100’s of green bottles to make bottle windows.  We re-used old railway sleepers to build fences, steps and raised gardens and spent weeks collecting palm leaves trimmed in the local towns (that would otherwise be burned) to use for screening. Building materials, ceramics, furniture, nik naks almost everything around you at Camp Full Monte has been re-used without compromising the aesthetic or functioning of the site.

Recycle
All our kitchen and garden waste is composted on the campsite .  Our compost toilet chambers recycle "Humanure" into garden compost and organic fertilizer. Plastic bags are cut and plaited into "plarn" (plastic yarn) and used as rope or string.  All your cardboard, metal and plastic waste iwill be taken to the municipal recycling centre. Our greywater system allows us to re-cycle over 30,000 litres of water each year. Every shower you take is watering our organic gardens.

Come and be inspired by what can be achieved.

Green Power


Image photo voltaic charge controller Photo Voltaic (PV) Solar Panel
A solar PV panel on our roof uses the sun to generate enough power to run 4 fans 24 hours a day, every day.  These fans sit in the stench pipes of our dry toilets and urinals, sucking air up and over the humus to keep it dry and ensure healthy, odour-free decomposition. A separate system powers our 12V L.E.D. lighting and mobile device charging points in the main building. Independant, decorative and motion-activated solar lighting in the grounds allow you to find your tent safely in the dark with minimal impact on enjoyment of the light pollution free skies. The milky way, constellations, planets, the moon and falling stars are regularly clearly visible at Camp Full Monte.

Solar Thermal Panelsimage solar thermal panelsThe sun’s energy heats solar fluid in our panels which rises by the process of thermo-convection to a hot water tank in the roof. Here the heat is exchanged to our hot water supply., the fluid cools and falls back down to the panels. Ingenious, no pumps, no electricity, no maintenance but we have 400L of water averaging 70 degrees C.
