Episode 23 Ranger Louie - Affordable Camping in NSW National Parks
NSW National Parks have proposed expensive (in my opinion) new fees across the majority of campgrounds, which will price many Australians out of camping. In this episode I speak to former NPWS ranger, Louise Anderson (Ranger Louie on Instagram) to get her thoughts on life as a ranger and the effect these fees will likely have if the NSW Labour Government allows them to go through. Please note, Louie is not a spokesperson for NPWS service. These are just her opinions. Here's the ePetition I created to NSW State Parliament titled Keep Camping Affordable for All...

The cost of camping in National Parks
Camping in NSW national parks could soon cost more under a major proposal to standardise fees across the state. Supporters say it will improve facilities and reduce no-shows, but others fear it will make nature less accessible. For the first time, many basic and remote sites could carry a price tag. The changes raise bigger questions about how we value public land and who gets to enjoy it. The future of camping is now open for public feedback.
