From threats to employees and costly vandalism to environmental concerns like garbage and the removal of human waste, the lawsuit filed in Gallatin County district court details a number of claims made by local businesses who maintain city leaders aren’t willing to police the growing population of so-called urban campers…
Ashley Ogle, co-owner of Kenyon Noble, said customers often don’t feel comfortable when they navigate past the rows of broken-down campers and RVs bordering her business on Oak Street in Bozeman.
She said the piles of garbage that collect at the camp along with buckets of human feces her staff have seen being dumped into a nearby stream constitutes a major health hazard that the city should stop.
