Camping and tourism should open, it is the heart of our country and we cannot keep everything closed forever due to the virus. The risk is much higher to get the virus in shops, schools, workplaces than at any camp sites and or nature reserves , national parks.

I am a member of CCSA and I don't want the parks that we support to close permanently due to the financial hardships caused by the prolonged lockdown.

We manufacture Skipper Tent Trailers and this lock down is effecting sales dramatically, we will be forced to put our staff on short time this week therefore affecting 12 households.....
We are campers ourselves and cabin fever has set it, we need a change of scenery.......
What about caravan park owners ....it is affecting their income and staff households too......this snowball effect is detrimental to all sectors of camping.

We are regular campers, and our "retirement plan" involves full-time camping as an alternative to kicking our adult offspring out of the house. So, camping is critical to the health of our familial relationships.

I cannot see the reason for lockdown on camping sites anymore! What is the difference between sport, shopping, camping etc?
It is your own responsibility to be safe.........

Leisure camping can be done while abiding with all the COVID19 precautions. Owners of camping sites are suffering because of lack of income. To be out in nature is an extremely good way to fight negativity and depression - many struggle with the long time being stuck at home.

Eulogia Murray (Kenton-on-Sea, 2020-06-28)

Holiday resorts also have people who needs an income. For me to go caravaning /camping I support these people.

Kamp is in die opelug, karavane staan ver uitmekaar, my hoef nie baby ander mense te kom nie, social distancing kan baie beter gehandhaaf word as in n shopping mall, karavaan park is essential, hulle verloor ook baie geld en jobs

I am signing because camping is the most save way of staying over using your own bedding, confined space no covid thread

Tertius Knox (Bloemfontein, 2020-06-28)

I am signing this petition as there is no rational basis on which to not open camping sites under controlled conditions.
My caravan has got it's own built in shower and toilet. There is no need for me to share ablutions blocks. I will at all times maintain social distancing.
If day visitors can share toilets then campers must also be allowed to do so.
For a start I request that camping in one's province should be allowed.

The risk is not higher when we are on our own in a lodge/holiday resort as we take good care of ourselves. The risk is higher when hundreds visit a shopping mall.

I am a long term camper and want to visit our National Parks and did postponed my booking 4 times already from the 9th of May and are now booked in the Kruger park from 12 July. I really don't want to postpone my booking again. Therefore we plead to open the campsides and the travel from one province to another.

It is today day 87 that we sit in the retirement village with no friends or family. I just want to get out and drive to a nice place and camp there. Just different scenery than my house.

We love camping. We do it as a family. We live in the same house and camp together in the same caravan. We can still follow protocol with the covid 19 pandemic and stay safe while doing what we love. And give the economy of tourism a boost.

You are killing the economy of our country.
Stop your nonsense.

Theuns Nieuwoudt (Swellendam, 2020-06-28)

I am signing as i do not believe that camp sites are concentrated. Most sites (although ajoining) the caravans of tents are 10 meters apart. Campers normally stick to themselves. If there are steps to keep social distancing and cleaning of toilets and showers after use there is little risk of spreading covert.

Rene Rupping (Randburg, 2020-06-28)

We love camping and to get out of Jhb regularly keeps us sane. We love nature and want to support all small businesses in this difficult times. Camping can quite easily be done with all necessary precautions for Covid-19. Please allow opening of camp sites!

I’m signing because these people depend on us to get their bread and butter. They have lives and destroying theirs because of a flu that is being blown up by the media is wrong. If restaurants can open camping can as well

There is no difference between going to a casino, movies or fishing for leasure, than camping or sleeping over in the national parks, wgete you keep social distancing and spend time in your own car or tent or chalet.
