A joint effort is the only solution to solving problems with irresponsible camping in Central Otago, those charged with managing the issue say. Mr Cadogan said it was not all freedom campers that caused problems, just ``irresponsible campers''. Rules that banned campers from some areas had also created ``extra pressure'' in areas where they were permitted to camp. Mr Morgan said Linz had increased the maintenance services provided by its contractors in camping areas and was ``satisfied'' with the services provided. Linz would also investigate what else it could do to enforce the rules at camping areas, Mr Morgan said.
