British Columbia compromises on parking lot "camping"

Prince George, BC, which last year banned RV overnight stays in shopping center parking lots, will now allow stays of up to 36 hours. Local campground owners tried their best to outlaw any free stays, but seemed willing to accept an 8-12 hour maximum. Despite their pleas, the city council set the longer limit. Last year when the town announced it would no longer allow RVers to stay the night in parking lots, it was flooded with angry letters. Prince George is a popular stopping point for RVers going to and from Alaska, and the local economy is based heavily on tourism. Read the full story from the Prince George Citizen.
