  • Proposed Guidelines for Federal Outdoor Developed Areas (Camping Facility Guidelines begin at T218)
    (There are two issues to note when reviewing these proposed guidelines.  First, they have not yet been formally adopted.  The public comment period is complete.  Adoption is anticipated sometime in 2008.  However when complaints are considered by a court, the courts view proposed regulations as "best practices" and lean toward enforcement of "best practices."  Second item to note, for the moment these guidelines are only for Federally managed lands.  It is the intent of the US Access Board to implement them into their next rule making for all other Outdoor Developed Areas. Again courts will view this as "best practices."  We encourage all RV parks and campgrounds to take these guidelines into consideration when building or expanding parks.)
