Selangor has no specific guidelines to regulate campsites and the state government will only now work with the Tourism Ministry to draw them up.
One of the items under the proposed guidelines would be to not allow tents to be set up at the foot of a slope.
“There will be a minimum buffer zone, between the slope and the campsite,” said state exco man Hee Loy Sian.
The tourism, environment, green technology and Orang Asli affairs committee chairman said the absence of guidelines had caused confusion among the people, with many blaming the state government for the tragedy in Batang Kali.
He said the state could not take action against the land owner because there were no guidelines preventing the setting up of tents on private premises.

The Selangor government will formulate guidelines for camping activities following the Batang Kali landslide that has so far claimed the lives of 26 people, says a state executive councillor.
Local government, public transport and new village development committee chairman Ng Sze Han said the authorities would monitor such activities which were usually carried out as a side business by hotels or resort owners.
Currently, camping activities organised by resorts or hotels are not regulated.
Ng said the state government would expedite a survey to identify the number of campsites in Hulu Selangor.
