This prestigious accolade, announced on April 15, 2023, recognizes outstanding businesses in various categories, with Camp de Rêves triumphing in the Sustainable Development category.

A Sustainable Haven in St Pierre du Bois

Nestled in the picturesque St Pierre du Bois, Camp de Rêves has set a new standard for eco-conscious tourism. The award arrives in recognition of the campground’s eco-friendly practices and sustainable materials used throughout its development and operations.

“We are thrilled to receive this incredible recognition for our dedication to sustainability,” shared Jane Barnes, co-owner of Camp de Rêves. “From the start, we’ve aimed to have a positive impact on our community and the natural world, and this award affirms our commitment.”

To be recognised by the King in this way speaks volumes for the quality of what the Barnes family has created in St Peter’s. Steve Falla, Deputy and Vice-President of the Committee for Economic Development

Among this year’s recipients, Camp de Rêves stands out as Guernsey’s sole representative and a beacon for sustainable enterprise.

Danny Barnes, co-owner of Camp de Rêves, will attend a reception at Windsor Castle, hosted by King Charles III, to celebrate the winners. This event serves as a testament to Camp de Rêves’ remarkable achievement and sets a remarkable example for other businesses aspiring to greatness.
