I love camping and cannot understand that social distancing and sanitization cannot take place. I've camped at many caravan parks that have a cleaner cleaning after each person used the ablution facilities...so no danger of transmissionRosemary Joubert (Greytown, 2020-06-28)

Because we are part of the tourism industry and all our protocols are in place.There can be arranged for temporary passes for people to go away for a weekend and report back so they can be checked back into their province.
We must be allowed to take in also max of 50 people and make sure social distance is kept.
There are so many options to look at it is about being willing.
Everyone is suffering and we must stand together to get trough this, with that we must be allowed to open.

I believe that camping is not a threat to the spread of covid 19. Sleeping in the caravan self contained. One can have a bathroom unit in the caravan. Safety guidelines can be implemented for ablutions. Please allow caravaning and camping to resume.Marian Coady (Pinetown, 2020-06-28)

You are allowed to cross provinces via air , for holiday. You are restricted to your own provence to cross via road transportation. How do you justify this stupid rules. Makes no sense what so ever. These rules only apply for the people that can afford it. It'sPathetic.

As a tour operator using campsites I need to open my business, not only for myself but also for the owners of campsites. It is a low risk activity as everybody uses their own tent, trailer or caravan, their own food, their own cooking utensils and in some instances also their own washing facilities.Johan du Plooy (Centurion, 2020-06-29)
