Membership Camping Act

This act regulates the sale of membership camping contracts — agreements under which a purchaser buys the right to use campgrounds and related recreational facilities. It requires operators to register with the state before offering or selling memberships, to give prospective purchasers a disclosure statement, and to comply with rules governing contract terms, escrow and bonding of funds, resale of memberships, inducements offered to prospective buyers, and nondisturbance protections for members' continued use of the facilities; contracts that fail to comply, or that are procured by fraud, are voidable. The state administers the act through review of registration applications, denial, suspension, or revocation of registration after a hearing, cease and desist orders, investigations, and penalties, with certain operators exempted from registration.
