Recognise that camping is a form of "open-air recreation"

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Reverse the ban of legal right of wild camping in Dartmoor, in areas without the landowners permission

Camping is a form of recreation, and a reversal of a decades old tradition due to this not being recognised is unjust to the people who want to use Dartmoor for this purpose.
