The Province of British Columbia has a bicycle helmet rule throughout the province but I have never come across the rule in any campground as part of their "rules".
While I understand the reasoning for the helmet rule on public roads I am completely at odds with legislation/rules that require me to wear a seat belt or some of the other such rules for my protection.
I recently was given a ticket for no seat belt by a brand new recruit who was chewing gum while issuing the ticket and challenged me to fight it in court saying it was not properly worn although it was securely fastened and under my arm and not over my shoulder. I did intend to fight the ticket but old age saw me forget the date and I wound up paying the $140.00 ticket.
As has been mentioned the campground is only interested in avoiding litigation and I guess have the right on their property to require the wearing of a helmet.
