Occupancy.
(1) 
Permanent occupancy prohibited. Campsites shall be used only for camping purposes. No improvement or any recreational vehicle designed for shall be erected or placed on any campsite. All recreational vehicles in the RV park shall be maintained to meet Pennsylvania Department of Transportation vehicle/trailer registration requirements and in a road-worthy, transportable condition at all times, and any action toward removal of wheels is hereby prohibited. Moreover, no campsite shall be occupied for more than 12 consecutive months, and no campsite shall be the primary and principal residence of the owner or any other occupant; each campsite to be used and occupied (excepting occasional guests) for camping and recreational purposes only by a single household. The Township may require any owner to remove a recreational vehicle for a period of 24 hours, unless such owner can establish a prior removal within the immediately preceding 12 months. These requirements shall be attached to each campsite by restrictive covenant.
(2) 
In order to prevent permanent occupancy and limit maintenance and policing problems, continuous occupancy of any campsite by one party, vehicle or tent shall be limited to 180 days. The licensee shall be responsible for enforcing this provision.
B. 
Records. The management of every campground shall be responsible for maintaining accurate records concerning the occupancy of all campsites. The term management shall include associations of property owners when such are responsible for maintenance and operation of common facilities. The Township shall have access to, and the right to inspect, records for evidence of permanent residency or lack thereof. The Township Board of Supervisors shall, in addition, have the authority, when any provision of this article is violated, to prohibit the occupancy of any and all campsites in a campsite until the owners and/or management provide evidence of compliance with these provisions. If any campsite remains occupied seven days following a Township order prohibiting occupancy, the vehicle or tent may be removed to the common storage area by order of the Board of Supervisors and at the expense of the individual occupant.
