2005 Site Use & Improvement Guidelines 

ALL SITE IMPROVEMENTS/ALTERATIONS must be approved by the board before being made. This includes contour improvements, fencing, landscaping, altering camper pad location, concreting, black topping or graveling of vehicle pads, any and all construction (decks, patios, sheds, gazebos), external lighting, satellite dishes, fire pits and any change in method of disposing, storing of gray or black water. An “Official Warning” (possible fine) will be issued for failure to follow any of the guidelines.

It is the intention of these guidelines to maintain aesthetic harmony for the benefit and protection of all and to provide architectural protection and control of the campground and its use. In general there may be no improvement to a site that in any manner hinders the use of another site or any of the campground or which in any way interferes with the provision of services to any site.

Park Rules and Jefferson County zoning rules have changed over time, some improvements that were once allowed are no longer allowed. Some types of construction that were once allowed are no longer allowed. Just because you see something in the park does not mean that it was properly done, is still allowed or had proper approval. Please check with us first. It’s free, quick and easy.

SITE USE SITE IMPROVEMENTS

General: Site is to be used for single family, camping purposes only. Cannot be used by multiple families, even if not simultaneous occupancy, or as permanent abode or legal residence.

Safety: Safety is first. Nothing can be done or kept on a site which could pose, or be perceived as posing, a safety threat to the site occupants, neighbors or the campground in general. Nothing can be done or kept on a site or in the campground that could increase the park’s rate of insurance, would result in the cancellation of our insurance, or which would be a violation of any law, any park rules or rules in our “Yogi Bear” franchise agreement.

Insurance: Each site occupant must carry their own personal property and liability insurance. Proof of such insurance must be furnished to the office upon request.

RV’s: No more than one recreational vehicle may be parked on a site at one time. All Recreational Vehicles must be either RVIA (Recreational Vehicle Industry Association) or RPTIA (Recreational Park Trailer Industry Association) approved and have proof of such, usually a sticker. No ‘new’ (not already in the park) units over 10 years old will be allowed unless specifically approved by the board. No ‘new’ units over 20 years will be allowed.

RV Location: The board must approve all recreational vehicles and their location before they are brought into the park. All recreational vehicles, and anything else placed on a lot must be at least 5 feet from the lot line. Nothing may be placed on common elements. No recreational vehicle may be placed on any site except on the pad provided for that purpose. The pad may not be relocated from its existing position.

The Board may authorize the storage or disposal of any recreational vehicles deemed uninhabitable, or that may pose a safety or health problem, or where the owner is in default, or hasn’t responded to any notice sent out or can’t be reached. Storage charges will be the responsibility of the owner.

Legal Use: No noxious, offensive or illegal activity shall be done on a site, nor shall anything be done that would be an annoyance or nuisance to any other site occupant.

Business Use: No industry, business, trade or profession can be conducted or permitted on a site.

Wheels and Hitches may not be removed from any recreational vehicle. All recreational vehicles shall be capable of being moved at any time with minimal effort.

Hookups: Water, electric and sewer connection may be used only to serve the site that they are on and may be connected only through approved hook-up procedures to a recreational vehicle. No individual wells or septic systems allowed on any site.

Holding Tanks (black water): Holding tanks must be a pre-manufactured tank specifically made for that purpose; no self-made or modified tanks are allowed. Tanks must have a proper drain at the bottom of the tank. Tanks must be placed six (6) inches above the ground to allow proper draining and easy access for pumping out. Tanks must be placed under the RV, or under the deck if skirted. If RV is skirted then either skirting should be left off where tank drain is to allow easy access or drain end should be on outside of skirting (cut a hole in the skirting and extend the drain).

Fire Extinguisher: A fire extinguisher of an adequate size and capacity is required to be kept in each recreational vehicle.
Maintenance: Owners are responsible to keep and maintain their camping unit and site in a neat, clean, sanitary and orderly condition. All site improvements should be done in the same manner.

Boats and Trailers: May not be stored on your lot for more than a weekend without Board approval. Please inquire about other options.

Garbage: Refer to Park Rules.

Vehicles: Refer to Park Rules.

Guests/Visitors: Refer to Park Rules.

Pets: Refer to Park Rules.

Quiet Hours: Refer to Park Rules.

All improvements must be approved by the board before being made.

Boundaries: No improvement may be placed or located within five (5) feet of the boundary of any site. Site boundary or other markers shall not be moved, removed or damaged.

Contour Improvements: No contour improvement which will alter the topography or drainage will be allowed.

Plants, Trees & Shrubs: May be added with Board approval. Can’t create a nuisance or infringe on any other site or park property. No live trees may be cut down. No trees should be cut down without approval. The Board must pre-approve any pruning (cutting beyond normal trimming) to accommodate newer units and safety

Concreting/Black Topping of RV Pads: The pad upon which a recreational vehicle is to be located may be improved with concrete, black top, or new gravel. RV pads may not be relocated to the other side of a site. (Boundaries rule)

Fences: Only split-rail type fences are allowed. May not exceed four (4) feet in height or have more than two (2) rails. (Boundaries rule)

Gardens: Only one (vegetable) garden per site. Gardens must be kept in a neat and orderly fashion. Flowers may be planted. Check with us first.

Fire Pits: Only one fire pit per site. Fire pits shall not be located closer than fifteen (15) feet from any site boundary and must be at least twenty (20) feet away from LP gas bottles. Fire Pits must be installed flush with the ground.

External Lighting: Permanent external lighting is allowed but shall not create a nuisance to any other site or site occupants. Bright lighting, extending beyond your site (such as to infringe on your neighbor) and ‘bug zappers’ must be turned off during quiet time.

Storage Buildings/Sheds: Only one building per site is allowed. In addition to Board approval, a Building permit must be obtained from Jefferson County. Shed plans must be submitted to the board for approval. Sheds are limited to a maximum size of eight (8) feet wide, twelve (12) feet long, and ten (10) feet high. Shed must be built as a barn-style shed. Front of shed and doors must be on smaller, eight (8) foot side. Base of shed (framework supporting floor that is on the ground) and flooring must be treated lumber and treated plywood. A T111 rough sawn siding or similar approved material (e.g. “Smartboard”) must be used. No particle or composite (particle or wafer) board may be used. Plywood must be used on the roof and covered with dark brown shingles. All shed must be stained with a dark brown, walnut colored stain (Olympic 707 or equivalent). Must be built 5 feet away from site boundary. (Boundaries rule) Moving of a shed or bringing in a pre-built shed also requires the approval of the board and Jefferson County Zoning. In addition to the above shed, certain “Rubbermaid” type (either Rubbermaid or the Farm & Fleet equivalent) storage sheds will be allowed. These storage sheds may not exceed 5’ in width or 4’6” in height. Either the 2’8” depth (32 cu ft model) or 6’7” depth (92 cu ft slide lid model) is acceptable. No other sizes are allowed. No home built versions will be allowed. These sheds must be placed behind your RV, up near the back of your RV, and be five (5) feet from the lot line.

Patios: Concrete or brick patios are allowed. The topography of the site will be considered for approval.

Decks: Wooden decks are permitted. In addition to Board approval, a Building permit must be obtained from Jefferson County. The Board should sign off on your drawing before you go to Jefferson County for your permit. (The county is supposed to look for our approval and not issue a permit without it). Plans must show a scale drawing with lot lines, road, trailer, distance trailer is from lot line, and deck location and size on the drawing. All decks must be constructed of treated lumber. Deck planking must be used for the deck flooring (no plywood, or carpet covering allowed). Decks may be treated, stained and/or painted. Railing may be built but may not exceed a normal handrail height. Rail post may not exceed height of railing. Deck spindles may not be greater than 4” apart (Dept of Commerce rules). There shall be absolutely no roof or framework for a tarp or lights constructed over a deck (this is a Jefferson County zoning law not a park law). Maximum size is 350 square feet. Moving of a deck or bringing in a pre-made deck also requires the approval of the board and Jefferson County zoning.

Screened Enclosures: Unattached permanent screened enclosures are no longer allowed (Jefferson County zoning law). (Attached permanent screened enclosures, metal or glass panels and doors as part of the structure were never allowed, even though some people have them).

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU CHECK WITH US. Temporary screen rooms (screens only, no panels, no glass) with canvas tops, not attached to your unit in any way, put up at the beginning of the season and taken down at the end of the season may be allowed if of a suitable nature and appearance.

Deck Coverings: Only a pre-manufactured awning, similar to what could have been ordered as an option from the factory, mounted on the trailer/RV may be used. Most other coverings; canopies or screen rooms are not allowed. On a trial case-by-case basis we are allowing 10’ x 20’ white canopies. We will only consider a canopy that is 10 x 20 in size, has a white top, and has silver or white poles (like the Powell brand sold by Sam’s) and is mounted with the 20-foot side next to the trailer. Front, side and back curtains are not allowed. Jefferson County zoning does not allow these to be attached to your unit.

Ground Coverings/Carpeting: We will allow ground covering, in place of a deck or patio, on a trial basis. Only green (outdoor grass green) carpeting will be allowed. Carpeting may only be used next to your RV and may not exceed twelve (12) feet out from your RV and not more than twenty (20) feet long. It is your responsibility to grow grass back when the carpeting is removed or you leave or pay us $25 restoration fee.

Gazebos: Not allowed.

Clothes Lines: Only permitted when you are here. Must be taken down when site is unoccupied. Must be done in a tasteful manner. Dryers are available at laundry.

Dumping Effluents: Any dumping on or below ground is a violation of state health regulations.

For Sale Signs: Not allowed. You may list items at the office.

Satellite Antenna Dishes: Twenty (20) inch satellite dish antennas are allowed, however no removal of live trees to accommodate reception is allowed. Pruning is allowed if approved by the Board first.
