Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Finland
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
- Line 1: 4 § forbids «liikkua, pysäyttää tai pysäköidä» in maasto — parking is already forbidden
- Line 2: taking out an awning, chairs, a table or a barbecue = leiriytyminen, outside the jokaisenoikeudet
- Layer 3, the one that gets forgotten: 5 § 2 mom requires nuisance to be avoided; NOISE AT 2 A.M. may be the offence, not sleeping
