Pristine site camping

Detailed Description

Another option is to encourage dispersed “pristine site” camping on resistant barren substrates or resistant/resilient dry grassy vegetation. Campers stay a single night and then naturalize the site so that others don’t find and reuse it, preventing the formation of a new campsite.
