Conservation officers also found garbage littered around the man’s trailer.
The 21-day camping limit is in place on Crown land to give others the opportunity to camp in the same spot.
The ministry says it also minimizes environmental damage.
A ministry news release says the man’s case was heard by a judge in April 2025.
