Possible values
tents=yes
- tents are allowed and the terrain is suitable for tentstents=no
- tents are not allowed or the terrain is not suitable for tents
Rationale
Some camping locations are suitable for RV's and caravans, but not for tents. Main reasons a terrain is not suitable for tents are:
- The entire terrain is covered with tarmac or another material not suitable for tents;
- The environment is too dangerous, because a risk for animals or bandits exists.
