Camping Exemption

A camping exemption is required if you want to allow camping on your land in locations where this is not normally permitted under the municipal regulations. This applies to farmers offering seasonal camping spots, event organizers wanting temporary campsites, or landowners who want to allow recreational camping outside designated camping areas.

You apply for the exemption at the municipality, which assesses the application based on the location, duration, number of camping spots, and potential impact on the surroundings. The municipality may set conditions regarding sanitary facilities, waste collection, parking, and maximum duration of stay. Costs and processing times vary by municipality. You can file an objection and appeal against the decision if your application is rejected.
