California AB518 regulates low-impact camping areas, defining them and setting requirements for their operation.

California AB518 amends the Health and Safety Code to define "low-impact camping area" as a private property area providing transient occupancy rental of temporary sleeping accommodations for recreational purposes, excluding commercial lodging facilities. It sets requirements for these areas, including compliance with local waste disposal and quiet hours regulations. The bill mandates that counties authorizing low-impact camping establish a registry of these areas and require operators to post permits or registrations.
