(1) General Requirements. A camper vehicle park shall be adapted to individual site conditions and the plat should use terrain, existing trees, shrubs and rock formations with a minimum of disturbance of the land.
Conditions of soil, groundwater level, drainage and topography shall not create hazards to the property or the health or safety of the occupants.
(2) Density Requirements. The density shall not exceed twenty-five (25) camper vehicle spaces per acre of gross site area, except that the density may be reduced if any of the following conditions exist:
(a) A septic tank and drainfield sewage disposal system is proposed for use and field inspection of soil conditions, groundwater conditions, relation to surface waters, proximity to groundwater supplies, and soils evaluations indicate that the higher density could result in a public health hazard.
(b) Any other situation where the physical characteristics or locational characteristics of the site would indicate that the higher density could adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
(3) Dimensional Standards.
(a) All camper vehicle sites shall be located at least twenty-five (25) feet from any park boundary line abutting upon a public street or highway.
(b) All camper vehicle sites shall be located at least four (4) feet from any park boundary that does not abut upon a public street or highway.

The combined size of such areas shall be not less than 2,500 square feet or eight (8) percent of the gross site area, whichever is greater.
(2) Other Standard Requirements.
(a) Camping Vehicles. Mobile home parks intending to accommodate camping vehicles shall designate a specific and separate area on the plat for camping vehicles and the County’s standards for camping vehicle parks shall be observed in these areas. However, this provision shall not preclude the temporary occupancy of a mobile home space by a camper vehicle.
(b) Conventional Homes. No construction or placement of conventional homes shall be permitted in any mobile home park, except that this section shall not restrict the enlargement or alteration of a single-family dwelling within the mobile home park at the time of acceptance of a plat, nor shall it restrict the construction of one single-family dwelling for the owner or his agent.
