Pages 75-89 | Received 19 Sep 1984, Accepted 05 May 1985, Published online: 13 Feb 2018
 

Abstract

Crowding in outdoor recreation has been suggested as a normative concept. Review of the conceptual and empirical literature supports this notion and indicates that crowding norms are influenced by visitor characteristics, characteristics of those encountered, and situational variables. Several management and research implications are developed based on review and synthesis of the crowding literature in outdoor recreation.
