Probably connected to the risk that squatter's rights poses to the land owner... not that pitching a tent for a night is a serious risk, but squatter's rights really encourages that kind of culture.
- k__ 12y agoYes, owning land is a big problem in all countries.
- jakobsen 12y agoNot knowing anything about squatter's rights (or law in general), shouldn't it be possible to just create a law putting whatever limits we want on camping WITHOUT the need for it to be completely forbidden? I am just now in a place where free camping is not allowed, but the local authorities interpret the law as: "no tents between dawn and dusk". I wish that was put into a written law.
- sliverstorm 12y agoThe key item of squatter's rights is that if a squatter occupies land with the land-owner's knowledge for a number of years, the land now legally belongs to the squatter. One night of camping is not years, but squatter's rights certainly encourages land-owners to be ever-strict about visitors to their land.
