[GeoStL] Re: NGR Camping Question

I called the Jounson SP ofice and they told me it was 3 miles.

It is suppose to be .5 miles from any state park or private campground. All 
state parks have walk-in sites for backpackers free of charge. There are some 
areas that are off limits such as waterfalls, caves, etc... I have backpacked 
that route many times and have camped at the flatrocks just south of Proffit 
Mountain. I have also camped about 3/4 of a mile from Johnson Shutins along the 
creek. My favorite spot is up by the old reservoir.

I have been thining about camping towards Johnson Shut Ins along the Ozark 
Trail, also getting the Proffit Mountian cache.  When questioning about where 
to set up a camp at, they said at least 3 miles away from the Park Boundry.

My question is, why do they require to be 3 miles outside the park boundry?  
Wouldnt a mile or even outside the boundry be enough?
