Abstract
Crowding in outdoor recreation has been suggested as a normative concept. Review of the conceptual and empirical literature supports this notion and indicates that crowding norms are influenced by visitor characteristics, characteristics of those encountered, and situational variables. Several management and research implications are developed based on review and synthesis of the crowding literature in outdoor recreation.Keywords
