Campgrounds

The term campgrounds refers to, but is not limited to, tourist camps, travel trailer camps, recreation camps, family campgrounds, camping resorts, camping communities or any other area, place, parcel or tract of land, by whatever name called, on which three or more campsites are occupied or intended for occupancy, or facilities are established or maintained, wholly or in part, for the accommodation of camping sites for periods of overnight or longer, whether the use of the campsite and/or facilities is granted gratuitously, by a rental fee, by lease, by conditional sale or by covenants, restrictions and easements.

Campgrounds with three or more campsites intended for overnight accommodations for tents or RVs are required to obtain a health department permit.

Temporary camping is allowed for up to 14 days if the camping is for a short duration of time, like at a music festival or historical reenactment. The permit focuses on providing safe drinking water, sufficient sewage disposal, and effective vector control.

New & Renovated Campgrounds

All new and renovated campgrounds must complete the Application for a Campground Operation Permit and return with a $40 annual permit fee.

Renewal of Operations Permit

Owners of all operating campgrounds are required to complete the Application for a Campground Operation Permit along with a $40 fee to renew the campground permit. Permits will be issued to the owner.
