Tourist Facilities & Accommodations

Tourist Facilities

RV Parks & Organization Camps

Recreation park” means any area designated by the person establishing, operating, managing or maintaining the same for picnicking, overnight camping or use of recreational vehicles by the general public or any segment of the public. “Recreation park” includes but is not limited to areas open to use free of charge or through payment of a tax or fee or by virtue of rental, lease, license, membership, association or common ownership and further includes, but is not limited to, those areas divided into two or more lots, parcels, units or other interests for purposes of such use.  “Organizational camp” includes any area designated by the person establishing, operating, managing or maintaining the same for recreational use by groups or organizations that include but are not limited to youth camps, scout camps, summer camps, day camps, nature camps, survival camps, athletic camps, camps that are operated and maintained under the guidance, supervision or auspices of religious, public and private educational systems and community service organizations.

The owner of the RV park has the responsibility to keep the property safe.  These photos are examples of conditions that an owner should be aware of in a licensed RV park.

Ideally the sewer line from the RV should run continuously down slope to the sewer riser.  Fecal waste and toilet paper will collect in a sewer line laying on the ground.  This will spill onto the ground if there is any crack in the flexible line or if the flexible sewer line is picked up in a haphazard way.  This condition can be avoided by requiring rv occupants to maintain a continuous sloping sewer line between the rv to the sewer riser.  Sewage or gray water on the ground when observed at the time of an inspection results in extra fees to an RV Park owner.

There are numerous products for sale that are not legal for use. A hose running between raw sewage and the water supply used for drinking and bathing is an illegal use illustrated in this photo. Allowing an RV tenant to connect a water hose from the water supply of the RV park to the RV sewer piece is not considered safe and when observed at the time of an inspection results in extra fees to an RV park owner.
