I've been reading the good thread re Disabled Parking Permits & thought i'd ask a similar question.
In a Government owned Campground (not private), should sites be offered at a discount for disabled people? Maybe 50%?
I say this because i can't walk very far at all, so i usually stay in the campsite the whole time (i have Bone Marrow cancer c/w a lot of broken bones). Other, healthy people get to enjoy the whole Park & whatever it has to offer. I do enjoy the time spent away from home & the outdoors also, & feel that camping is great for my well-being!
I would assume there would be people who would try & abuse this, but lets try & ignore that for now. Or, is there something in place for your Province/State already & how do they deal with it?
What do you think? Thanks, Gary
Being that you are in BC, this is from the Provincial Parks website,
Camping with disabilitiesPersonally I do not care what other campers pay or what services they do or do not use.
BC Ferries also offers special services and discounts for BC residents with disabilities and Seniors.
BC Ferries Travel Assistance Program Helps people who have to travel on the ferries for medical appointments.
