theksmith 1,203 Posted January 12 (edited) this is why we camped so far up the 260 for the Dirt Gala... after Dead Horse canceled us, we originally planned to camp near Camp Verde, but they already had a shorter temporary ban on all those areas even back then. that ban had cited the reasons as transient camping causing trash/sanitation issues and an increase in violent offenses!

dzJeepChic 606 Posted January 12 It is sad when a few ruin it for the majority. I can never understand why people don't clean up after themselves when camping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trail Toy 256 Posted January 12 1 hour ago, dzJeepChic said: It is sad when a few ruin it for the majority. I can never understand why people don't clean up after themselves when camping. Too many people these days are just plain lazy, rude, inconsiderate, self centered, etc. Our family has never been to any of these camp areas and now it'll be a long time before we can.

Surfy 49 Posted January 13 Also clean overlanding has his own limits. Even if anyone dig his sh*t - what most of us would call "clean" or zero trace. If enough people will visit the place - it will be over-used. There are solution around for that purpose too: https://www.4x4tripping.com/2020/05/die-perfekte-reise-camping-toilette-wc.html My opinion: For places with higher people count and an landscape who needs more time for regeneation, the gouverment should organice facilities/estrooms/transbins and cleaning - and an entry fee...
