VI.1.3. Types of camps

Itinerant camp

• An occasional camp, needs to be rebuilt every day or every other day at a different place. It usually consists of tents.  Occasionally the place can provide campers with better infrastructure, beds in cabins or bungalows.
• If the tents are put up by the campers the facilities are only minimal. We have to carry only our personal belongings and the tent.
• The tents are usually scattered around the place. Their position mainly depends on the terrain.
• There are only minimal conveniences.
• Campers are responsible for their own safety, food and water supply.
• Accessibility might be a problem, too. In water camps it is possible to camp at riversides, but these places are often inaccessible via roads.
• Health services are usually not available, or, it takes a longer time to have access to them.
