Under Prohibited Camping, which description best matches the required offense?

• A. Camping in a public place with consent
• B. Camping in a public place without the effective consent of the managing authority
• C. Camping in a private place with consent
• D. Camping in a private place without consent

Answer: (B)

Prohibited camping targets camping in a public place without the managing authority’s valid permission. The key is that the space is public and the authority in charge has not given effective consent, so the act falls under the prohibited conduct. If there is consent from the managing authority, the offense isn’t committed, which is why camping in a public place with consent isn’t prohibited. Private places are generally governed by different rules and don’t fit this public-space offense. So the description that best matches the offense is camping in a public place without the effective consent of the managing authority.
