...People can say they are concerned about the environment but are willing to abuse it to satisfy themselves. Unlawful camping is the best example - it has a HUGE impact....
We practice the "leave no trace" camping method. (Thank you hooligal for the sawdust/bucket idea from the playa!) When we recently camped south of Kua Bay on a 4WD road, it was cleaner and less impact than the beach at Kua Bay that now has 2-300 people a day on it. All the campers we saw leaving on Sunday packed their trash out, had literally carried their Sh*t out, and there was little trace except for the road.
When the developers & the county & the state continue to elimate camping - where are you supposed to camp? Spencers? YUCK! King Kam Hotel? Waikoloa Hotel?
How many camp grounds are on the shore that are decent? And you can get a camping permit? (Remember I am old enough to have a photo of me & my parents camping - with a car- at Yosemite!)
