Which scenario constitutes prohibited camping?

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

Answer: (B)

Prohibited camping hinges on being in a public space without the managing authority’s permission. When you’re in a public place and the person or entity in charge has not given effective consent, camping there falls under the prohibited camping rule. That’s exactly the scenario described: camping in a public place without the managing authority’s valid permission, so it’s not allowed.

If there is effective consent from the managing authority, or if you’re in a public place with express permission from a private property owner, camping is allowed. Camping in a private place without consent, while potentially violating trespass laws, is not the same public-space prohibition described by this rule, which is why that scenario isn’t the best fit.
