The Rules and Regulations of Motor Camping [318]Parks will be found to vary more or less with the locality. At many of these parks there are no specific rules. Care-takers or police officers keep order, but often that is all. However, there is coming to be a tendency to standardize the management of these camping sites by the adoption of a few general rules of procedure.

An example of the tendency to standardize the management of motor-camping parks is seen in the recommendations of a committee appointed at a recent convention of the Florida State Commercial Secretaries’ Association. This committee, after correspondence with commercial secretaries in towns and cities maintaining motor-camping sites in various parts of the country, brought in a report recommending that motor-camping parks in Florida be operated in conformity with the following rules:

“Registration.—Upon arrival, the party is to give the license number and make of car, the name of the applicant, his permanent address and the names of all members of his party. This information is to be given to the custodian of the camp, who will be appointed by either the local commercial organization, civil authorities or whoever is charged with the maintenance of the camp grounds. The applicant, providing his stay in the state is to be of some duration, should be advised of the requirements prescribed by the state automobile law relative to securing a state license. If any undesirables are found in the party the same, with their car number and the names of the persons in the party, with a statement of the cause of complaint, should immediately be transmitted to the custodian in charge, who in turn will convey this information to the proper local authorities, and [319]should the complaint be serious enough the information should be sent to other commercial organizations or public authorities in other communities operating auto camps.”

“Time Limit of Parties.—A maximum of two weeks for any one visit, with the privilege of renewing under local control.”

The great majority of auto camps, as may be seen from the tabulated list of camps, make no charge. There is coming to be a feeling, however, that responsible people will not object to paying a small daily or weekly charge. The Northwestern Association of Auto Camp Managers recommend a daily charge of fifty cents per car. On the other hand, many of the most elaborate and expensively conducted camps are absolutely free, as, for example, the quarter million dollar auto camp maintained by the city of Denver. Those communities maintaining free auto camps do so for the following reasons: They maintain that the benefits derived by a community maintaining public automobile camps are threefold.

“First.—Automobile tourists stopping at these camps are individual mediums of publicity, the monetary value of which cannot be computed.

“Second.—From an economic standpoint they are of benefit to the community in that they leave a certain amount of money in the community visited.

“Third.—Visitors to these camps often become sufficiently impressed with the locality visited to locate there permanently, thereby adding other citizens, not only to the community, but to the state as well.”
