Hello friends!
I’m Ruby, the mascot of Camping Village Rubicone, and today I want to take you on a slightly different journey: one you can’t see, but you can feel.
Did you know that a camping holiday is good not only for your body, but for your mind too?

Let’s talk about wellbeing – the real kind.
The kind that begins the moment you arrive, take a deep breath… and already feel better.

Less Stress, More Nature: The Simple Formula for Feeling Good

Contact with nature isn’t just enjoyable – it’s a natural remedy!
Scientists say so – but so do I, Ruby! Every day, I see the expressions of those arriving here slowly soften into relaxed smiles.

There’s something magical that happens when you walk barefoot on the grass, listen to cicadas in the afternoon, or gaze at the starlit sky.
And it’s not just a feeling: your nervous system finds balance, your heart slows down, and your mind begins to quiet.

Countless studies show that being surrounded by greenery lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone), helps regulate blood pressure, and boosts serotonin, the hormone that keeps us happy.
Even just 20 minutes a day in nature can make a real difference to your mental and physical wellbeing.

At Rubicone, everything is designed to help you reconnect with nature and with yourself:

– Tree-lined paths that gently guide you, like something out of a fairytale
– Shady pitches where time seems to stand still
– Quiet corners where the sea becomes your soundtrack
– The soft blend of campsite sounds and natural rhythms creates perfect harmony

You don’t need to plan a thing – just breathe, notice, and let yourself be present.
And then… there’s that very first breath.

The one you take when you get out of the car and breathe in the scent of sea, pine, and freedom.
That’s your body saying thank you. Immediately.

Five Micro-Moments with Nature to Try at the Campsite

(Ruby’s personal favourites!)

Sometimes, the simplest gestures turn into pure magic when done in the right place.
Here are my favourite rituals to enjoy at Rubicone: tiny daily moments that restore you, one breath at a time.

The first breath of the morning
Step outside your tent or mobile home as soon as you wake. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. The crisp air, birdsong and pine scent will do the rest.

Barefoot breakfast
Bring your breakfast outside and sit with your bare feet in the grass or sand. Direct contact with the earth, known as grounding, has calming, healing effects.

Aimless wandering
Take a walk through the campsite with no phone and no schedule. Let curiosity lead the way. Watch the leaves, listen to the sounds, feel the sun on your skin.

A moment for yourself at sunset
Each evening has its unique light. Find your favourite spot and spend a few quiet minutes simply watching the sky change colour.

Stargazing
Before bed, take a short walk in the dark and look up. The stars are brighter and clearer here – it’s as if they’re closer. And they’ll remind you that you’re part of something much bigger.

Mascot’s tip: Bring a small notebook with you. Jot down a few thoughts during these moments – even a sentence or two. It’ll help you slow down, reflect, and carry this feeling of well-being back home with you.

What Psychology Says About Camping

Did you know that nature activates parts of your brain linked to calm and happiness?
Psychology and neuroscience back it up: being surrounded by greenery and natural light while moving your body outdoors boosts the hippocampus, improves memory, and eases anxiety and irritability.

Even what’s called “involuntary attention” – the gentle focus you experience while watching the leaves dance or listening to waves – helps your brain recover.
This powerful, restorative process is known as “restorative attention”.

And the best part?
At Camping Village Rubicone, it happens naturally.
Your mind unwinds, your body softens… and you reconnect with who you are.

​​Rediscover Your Body’s Natural Rhythm

Sleeping better. Eating outdoors. Moving at your own pace.
A camping holiday is so much more than a break – it’s a return to yourself.

Here at Camping Rubicone, you leave behind alarms, deadlines and the constant need to rush.
You stop chasing time, and start simply living it.

Your days are no longer measured in minutes, but in light.
You wake when the sun peeks through the trees, eat breakfast in the cool air, enjoy lunch slowly – maybe barefoot on the grass – and wind down as the sky turns golden pink.

And what happens to your body when you stop fighting time?

Your internal clock – the one that regulates sleep, hunger, mood and energy – begins to rebalance itself.
It’s called the circadian rhythm, and when it’s in sync, everything works better: you sleep more deeply, digest more easily, think more clearly, and… feel more peaceful.

If you want to enhance this natural reset with a few extra treats, here’s what Rubicone offers:

– Morning yoga to stretch and calm the mind
– Beach walks, barefoot and guided only by the sound of waves
– Outdoor hot tubs to let go, at last

Here, time isn’t lost.
It’s reclaimed.
While the world outside keeps rushing, you rediscover that you don’t need to follow it.
You just need to follow your rhythm.

Scientific Insight – What is the Circadian Rhythm?

It’s our internal 24-hour body clock. It governs sleep, energy levels, appetite, and even body temperature.

When we align with natural cycles – daylight and darkness, movement and rest – our body produces the right hormones at the right time: melatonin to sleep, cortisol to wake, serotonin for a steady mood.

Nature, slow movement, and natural light – all key parts of a camping holiday – are ideal allies to help restore this delicate system.

The Beauty of Disconnection (So You Can Truly Reconnect)

Turning off your phone – for real.
No notifications. No messages. No constant updates. Sounds hard? It doesn’t have to be.

At Camping Village Rubicone, you’ll realise not only is it possible, it’s liberating.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available (we all have different needs), but over time, people just… stop using it.
Why?
Because there’s so much more to see, hear and experience.

Less screen time, more face time.
Less scrolling, more storytelling.
Fewer alerts, more true connection.

Something magical happens when you’re fully present.
You watch the sunset as if it’s the first time.
You catch the scent of the sea.
You laugh wholeheartedly with your loved ones.

Digital disconnection becomes soulful reconnection.
You feel time stretch. Your mind clears. Ideas begin to flow again.
You might rediscover a forgotten passion, start journaling, or simply enjoy the stillness.

And you know what? That silence doesn’t feel empty.
It feels full of meaning.

In a world that pressures us always to be “online”, a camping holiday is a radical act of inner listening.

Listening to your needs. Your truth. Your inner voice.
And even with the phone off… you’ll feel more connected than ever.

Deeper Connections, More Meaningful Moments

Did you know that happiness grows when it’s shared?

Living simple, genuine moments with the people you love – or those you’ve just met – strengthens bonds and creates unforgettable memories.

At Camping Village Rubicone, it happens every day.
Dinner under the stars, the smell of the barbecue in the air, laughter echoing between the tents.
A spontaneous beach volleyball match with children, parents and new friends playing together like they’ve known each other forever.
A creative workshop where little hands turn seashells into treasure.

And then, of course… there’s us – the entertainment team!
We’re here to make you smile, move, feel and relax.

Every activity is designed to bring people together:
From beachside morning workouts to evening shows, pool games to family tournaments.

It doesn’t take much to feel part of something – just say yes to that invitation, to that new experience.
Because at the campsite, you don’t just share space – you share time, joy, stories… and even quiet moments.

That’s what makes a holiday at Rubicone so special.
It’s the relationships that form so naturally – and often last well beyond the summer.
Friendships that stay with you. Children are counting down the days until they’re reunited with playmates.
Families who grow closer.

Because let’s be honest: the best moments aren’t in the programme – they’re created together.
And at Camping Village Rubicone, they happen every day.
I see it with my own eyes – and it moves me, every time.

The Power of Silence (and Simplicity)

Sometimes, feeling better means removing rather than adding.
Less noise. Fewer distractions. No clutter.
Because true wellbeing isn’t always found in “more”, but in rediscovering what truly matters.

Here at Camping Rubicone, silence is not an absence – it’s a presence.
A sacred space where you can finally hear yourself.

Not an empty silence, but one full of life:

– The morning is quiet, as the sun peeks through the trees and birds begin their songs
– The hushed stillness of the afternoon, with the wind’s soft rustle like a lullaby
– The deep evening silence, as the sky fills with stars and voices lower in gentle reverence

These are the moments when the magic happens.
Your mind stops racing.
Your body softens.
Time stretches, and what once felt urgent… suddenly doesn’t.

Even simplicity becomes sacred: eating something good outdoors, sitting in a deckchair staring at the sky, walking barefoot in the grass.

Small actions, but they reconnect you with something vast – your natural rhythm.

Every detail here is designed to help you live more slowly, more mindfully:

– Well-kept paths
– Thoughtfully designed spaces
– Green surroundings that embrace you
– Sea-scented air that arrives like a gift

Everything invites you to pause, to breathe, to feel.
And the most beautiful part?
You don’t need to do anything to feel it.
Just be.
Let silence and simplicity speak to you… and make space inside to welcome a peace you may have been longing for.
