Hiking and camping is an outdoor activity and less chance to get the virus than in a shop. We need to live again.

If restuatants can be open why not camping sites al least 3 meters between stands

To me it is senseless to carry on with this barring us from camping outdoors in fresh air whilst another sector of the economy is being ruined through draconic regulations - people are/will be starving of hunger soon but …….who cares???

You are safer in an open enviroment where you camp, than a mall or theatre or restaurant.Camping industry employs 1000's of people who are now risking their livelyhoods if they remain closed.

Camping and overnight hiking trails are by the nature of it, already adhering to social distancing anyway. People are in the open fresh air; not cramped into a enclosed space like for example a shop.

Petro Steyn (Centurion, 2020-06-27)

#430

It is un constitutional to stop us from camping, overnight hiking and going on holiday. Open immediately.

Camping is a big part of family bonding or soul searching. By not opening camping and caravan resorts soon they will not be able to stay open for future leisure holidays which I personally look forward to for my own insanity

The livelihood of owners and workers of the camping industry and the people they support has been severely affected by the longstanding COVID19 lockdown. It is necessary to open these facilities to operate within the strictly regulations to curtail the spread of the disease.
Saving our Camping Industry (SCI) has an Unlock Plan that can be implemented with immediate effect. The Minister of Tourism is therefore formally requested to engage with SCI to refine the Unlock Plan.

We do mostly wild camping, completely off the grid, we carry our own water for cooking, showering etc, we shower in the bush and have our own bush toilet, you can only reach us if you have a decent 4x4 and if you know where we are. We camp for days not coming across another person except for some wild animals
