[GeoStL] Re: NGR Camping Question

If that is the case, it says different from their rules and regulations. 
However, they do leave each park to make it's own rules as they see fit. I 
guess they get a lot of people camping close to the park in the summer and it 
causes the shut-ins to be overcrowded. I really don't think you would have a 
problem camping within 1/2 a mile. As I have said before, I have done it lots 
of times and never had anyone come down the trail and tell me to move..

    I have no idea where you heard that... 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?
