Preliminary findings by the works ministry showed that tension cracks that stretched along the road running above the hill slope and the accumulation of underground water beneath the campsite had likely caused the landslide.
It was previously reported that a preliminary report had been presented to the Cabinet on Jan 4.
Last year, local government development minister Nga Kor Ming revealed that the three campsites did not have the relevant licence to operate.
He also confirmed that the operator was only permitted to run an organic farm at the site but had not put in any application to set up campsites.
