Latest version.
  • No person shall camp in any part of the park except in areas designated and posted for that purpose. Camping is defined as erecting a tent or shelter or arranging bedding, or both, for the purposes of, or in such a way as will permit, remaining overnight. Use of houseboats or boats, or both, or any of them, for the purpose of sleeping, during the nighttime hours, whether anchored, moored, or beached, is also defined as camping.

    (a)

    No person who is a juvenile shall camp in any part of the park except as follows:

    (1)

    A juvenile who is accompanied by a parent or guardian;

    (2)

    A juvenile who furnishes the park authority the written consent of and the full name, residence and telephone number of parent or guardian. Such written consent shall contain the inclusive dates and park location applicable.

    (b)

    Applications for overnight camping permits shall be made in person to the proper park authority in the form and manner and subject to such reasonable conditions as shall be required from time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. Permits shall be issued with a minimum of delay and inconvenience to the applicant. No permit shall be issued for continuous occupancy of more than ten (10) days' duration, nor shall any applicant be issued permits for more than thirty (30) days in any one calendar year, except upon resolution of the Board of Supervisors upon a showing of good cause by the applicant.

    (Ord. No. 934 § 4).

    (c)

    Normally, the number of vehicles and persons occupying a campsite shall not exceed two vehicles and eight (8) persons; however, the park authority may authorize a greater or lesser number when constructed facilities so warrant.
