Behind the rapid warming of camping economy, campers may not be completely happy in reality.

For citizen Zhao Moumou, a suburban camping in early April this year was simply a “disaster”. Before camping, she specially did a lot of “homework” and chose a “wanghong” camping site - the wilderness is quiet and the environment is beautiful. She can set up a tent at will without site fee. But when she arrived after driving for more than an hour, she was dumbfounded: not only did she have to pay 50 yuan for the venue and 20 yuan for parking, but also the infrastructure here was imperfect, there was no bathroom, and the garbage generated by other tourists was not cleaned up.

Zhao’s experience is not alone. The reporter found that at present, many scenic spots do not have camping conditions, the scale and quality of some campsites are uneven, and the knowledge of tent construction, outdoor protection and emergency management has not been popularized.

In addition, some campers also have non-standard behaviors. For example, in order to “escape” the relevant expenses of the campsite, some people choose to park their RV at random in a place with good scenery, or camp in the park green space and seaside lawn where camping is prohibited, which not only causes damage to the environment, but also affects the normal life of local residents.

A number of experts interviewed by reporters suggested that relevant departments should issue camping industry standards as soon as possible, standardize health conditions, tourism safety and supporting services, and comprehensively improve the compliance of the camping industry; Campers should establish a relatively complete hierarchical management system, provide necessary medical services, and formulate an early warning mechanism for weather and special environment; Campers should strictly abide by relevant regulations and enhance their awareness of environmental protection.
