The Need for Legislative Regulation of Camping as a Mass Phenomenon

Abstract

For the last ten or twenty years, in habitable areas of our country, there have not been any picturesque localities, rivers, or forests not reached by the wave of camping as a mass phenomenon. Camping has not only become widespread in the developed regions, but has found its way to the most remote places. Unfortunately, neither those having the use of the land nor government agencies were prepared for this phenomenon. Scientific research in this field has not kept pace with the spread of camping, and legislation clearly lags behind the need.
