Illinois Membership Campground Act

The act regulates the sale of membership camping contracts — agreements giving purchasers the right to use campground facilities — by imposing requirements on the sellers and operators of those campgrounds. Its core mechanisms include mandatory disclosures to prospective purchasers, a cancellation right allowing buyers to back out of a contract, trust account requirements for handling purchaser funds, and restrictions on advertising and prize or gift promotional offers. Purchasers are given remedies for violations, which may also be treated as deceptive and unfair trade practices, and developers and exchange companies operating under timeshare plans are exempt from its provisions.
