I don't know of anything that would stop a landowner from doing this. But I take issue with the idea of privatizing any of the commons.
Well said. We have many of public lands -- except a lot of them are effectively locked in private hands for exclusive explorations or pasture lands that the public are not allowed access.
There are more that just need rudimentary roads and probably potable water and dump site for us who choose isolation for boondockers. It can even operate on self-managed basis for fee collections.
But then again, if the more popular national parks and forest with lees-than primitive camping facilities are way behind in maintenance, then we cannot hope that these ones will get funding for development.
