This bill protects private campground owners from being sued for injuries that result from natural camping hazards—such as uneven terrain, wildlife, weather, campfires, natural water features, and injuries caused by other campers' negligence. The law specifically lists what counts as "inherent risks of camping" that campground owners are not responsible for, though they remain liable if they themselves or their employees are negligent or if they accept responsibility for an animal that causes injury.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
