Hello!
We are happy to enclose an application to the Wait List for the UCSC Camper Park. Please read the following information to
learn more about the UCSC Camper Park Waitlist application process.
1. Carefully review the Camper Park Regulations to decide if this is an appropriate living arrangement for you. The Camper Park is
a unique living situation. You must own the vehicle you live in and must maintain it at your own expense. Residents of the
Camper Park are bound by its Regulations for the duration of their residence in the Camper Park. Consequently, it is advisable
that you become extremely familiar with these Regulations.
2. Complete the Wait List Application and pay or send the $10.00 non-refundable/non-transferable application fee to The Village
Office, C1, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064. When the application and fee are received, you will then be placed on the
waitlist.
3. Please indicate on your application whether you have a trailer you wish to move into the Camper Park, or whether you wish to
purchase a trailer that is already within the Camper Park. Understand that a trailer may be moved into the Camper Park ONLY
when a trailer has moved out.
4. The Wait List is ordered by application date. When a trailer becomes available for purchase within the Camper Park, an email is
sent to the first ten people on the waitlist, inviting them to contact the seller. If any of these five defer or decline this invitation,
the next people on the list are contacted. Since you will be contacted via e-mail, it is important to alert us if there is any change
to your e-mail address. Despite the fact that there are only 42 spaces in the Camper Park, it is not uncommon to have 50 or more
names on the waitlist.
5. Trailers for Sale: Once you receive email notification that a trailer is available for purchase, you must exercise one of the
following three options within seven (7) days of the e-mail’s original send date:
a) You may indicate that you intend to contact the seller and enter into negotiations if suitable; OR
b) You may defer the opportunity to a future date; OR
c) You may request to be removed from the waitlist altogether.
If you have not replied within those seven days, your name will be removed from the waitlist, and you will need to start the
application process over, beginning again from the bottom of the waitlist.
6. Spaces Available: For those who already own trailers, it is important to remember that there are size limitations at each space
and the first available space may not accommodate your vehicle. A map showing the dimensions of each site is included in this
packet. When a space becomes available (that is, when a trailer moves out of the Camper Park), an email will go to all persons on
the waitlist who have indicated they already own a trailer or RV. You must respond via email to accept the offer of a space, give
assurance that the trailer will fit into the space available, and be prepared to move the vehicle into the Camper Park in short order.
Acceptance for open spaces is on a first come, first served basis. Prior to being allowed to move into the park, the vehicle must
pass an inspection on campus. When appropriate, instructions regarding this process will be provided.
7. There are common facilities such as bathrooms, showers, washers and dryers, etc., available to all Camper Park residents.
Electricity and water are provided at each trailer site. The cost of these utilities is included in the rent. Phone jacks for the
installation of a landline phone are provided at each site, but the cost of phone service is not included in the rent. Residents
desiring landline service must make arrangements directly with AT&T.
8. Most vacancies occur at the end of June, when annual contracts expire and residents graduate.
9. You may submit an application as soon as your application for admission to UCSC is on file. In addition, all applicants must be
enrolled as a full-time student at the time a space is offered and throughout the period of residence. Residence in the Camper
Park is not available to freshmen.
If you have further questions, please call (831) 459-4388 or (831) 459-4374, or stop by our office at The Village, Building C1, Lower
Quarry Road, on campus.
Thank you for your interest,
Residential Life Staff

Letter of Understanding for
Prospective Applicants to the UCSC
Camper Park
PLEASE READ, INITIAL AND DATE WHERE INDICATED, AND RETURN WITH
YOUR APPLICATION TO THE CAMPER PARK WAITING LIST
Dear Student,
Your interest in living at the Camper Park is greatly appreciated. The Camper Park is a
unique facility which offers students options rarely available in student housing. However,
with options comes responsibility and we recommend you carefully consider whether owning
a trailer and being responsible for all that such ownership entails is something you are
prepared to commit to doing for the duration of your potential residency at the Camper
Park. Many people are drawn to our friendly and fun-loving community, however, most do
not consider how much effort, cost, and risk is involved in owning a trailer.
Below are topics for your consideration. After reading each topic you are required to initial
and date, in the spaces provided, to indicate you have read, understand, and accept the
potential consequences of owning a trailer.
1) SIGNIFICANT RESPONSIBILITY AND SIGNIFICANT COST:
A trailer, and all associated costs of ownership, is entirely the responsibility of the
student who owns it. This includes, but is not limited to all costs for repairs and
maintenance, upkeep, waterproofing, rodent prevention, compliance with all
University requirements, and all liability costs. Before considering the purchase of
any trailer you are strongly advised to contact a trailer repair professional and
inquire as to what are typical upkeep and repair costs.
Unlike the campus residence halls or apartments, the University does not provide
maintenance assistance or support for the trailers in the Camper Park. In the past,
there have been cases in which new Camper Park residents have submitted
maintenance fix-it tickets for various concerns as they would have done in the
college residence halls or apartments. Since the trailer is not University property,
University maintenance personnel will not make repairs to it.
I understand that the upkeep of a trailer in UCSC’s Camper Park is entirely the
responsibility of the owner. If I purchase a trailer in the UCSC Camper Park I agree that
I will be entirely responsible for its upkeep according to the guidelines articulated in the
Camper Park Contract and in the Camper Park Rules and Regulations.

2) INSPECTIONS AND MODIFICATIONS
The University conducts an inspection of all incoming trailers, and annually inspects
all trailers that remain in the park. These inspections are for the purpose of
determining that the unit possesses basic safety features and that the plumbing,
electrical, and propane systems pass basic functional tests. The University
inspections do not establish the value of any unit nor is it the intent of these
inspections to do so.
Further, the University does not:
• Lift mattresses, carpets or wall-hangings to inspect beneath them
• Open cupboards or closets to look inside them
• Examine the underside or the roof of any trailer
The desire to make modifications or “improvements” to a trailer is often at odds with
what is best for the structural integrity of the unit. It is never a good idea to perform
alterations to the plumbing, electrical wiring, propane system, or to load-bearing
walls, etc. Any trailer that has undergone such changes is unlikely to pass the
required annual inspection, in which case the owner will be required to remove their
trailer from the UCSC campus at their own cost.
Be advised that there is a moratorium on building any new structures in the Camper
Park, including but not limited to decks, awnings, porches, storage sheds, etc.
I understand that any modification made to a trailer in the UCSC Camper Park may
result in the unit failing inspection and may require me to remove the trailer from
the campus at my own financial liability. Further, I understand that I may not build
anything on or around the trailer, including but not limited to decks, awnings,
porches, storage sheds, etc.

___/___/___ Date
3) DETERMINE TRUE MARKET VALUE PRIOR TO PURCHASE
The inherent value of trailers decreases over time, in much the same way as does
the value of a typical automobile. Despite normal wear and tear and depreciation,
many trailers currently in the Camper Park have held their value over time simply
because they are on the UCSC campus. The University is not involved in the
negotiation process for the re-sale/purchase of a trailer in the Camper Park, nor does
it control or influence the pricing of trailers for re-sale. The trailer’s owner establishes
an asking price at the time of sale and negotiates directly with the prospective buyer.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to determine that the purchase of one of these
vehicles is a wise investment. In the spirit of “Buyer Beware,” prospective buyers are
strongly encouraged to determine the true market value of any trailer prior to
making an offer for its purchase.
I understand that the University does not guarantee the condition or value of any
trailer. I further understand that I accept the full financial risk if the price I pay for a
trailer exceeds its actual market value.

4) LIABILITY FOR TRAILER AND ITS SITE
The University is not liable nor does it offer insurance coverage for student-owned
vehicle-residences in the Camper Park. It is strongly recommended that potential
residents research the availability and the cost of suitable insurance.
All liability associated with the trailer and the site upon which it sits falls to the
student-resident.
I understand that should I acquire a trailer in UCSC’s Camper Park I am solely
responsible for any liability that arises within and around the premises of that unit.
‣ Camper Park Waitlist Applicant: __________ Initials
___/___/___ Date
5) GOOD JUDICIAL STANDING
All applicants to the Camper Park undergo a review of their UCSC judicial history. A
student must have and must maintain a good judicial record as governed by the
UCSC’s Student Code of Conduct in order to be placed and remain on the waiting list.
Anything more than a minimal infraction of this code will likely make you ineligible to
live at the Camper Park.
I understand that any previous violation of the UCSC Student Code of Conduct, or
any violation of that code while I am on the Camper Park waitlist may prevent me
from being offered an opportunity to reside in the Camper Park.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ
CAMPER PARK REGULATIONS
1) PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to define UCSC Camper Park eligibility, what physical requirements
vehicles or living units must meet in order for them to be used in the park, and to outline the
regulations that apply to persons and vehicles while in the park.
2) ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility is limited to full-time, regularly enrolled UCSC students (as defined by the Registrar).
All spaces are assigned according to date of original application, provided that the applicant can
occupy in a timely fashion, that the vehicle will fit in the available space, and that the vehicle meets
all requirements as stated in the regulations.
Students who graduate, withdraw, drop out, become disqualified or otherwise fail to maintain fulltime
active student status must move out within 30 days or by the end of the current lease agreement,
whichever is sooner.
The lease will be valid only so long as the resident is residing in the vehicle. If the resident moves out
or takes up residence elsewhere, the lease automatically terminates. Brief vacations are excepted.
3) SUMMER USE
Students who are living in the park in the spring and can provide evidence of continued park
eligibility in the fall may apply to renew their lease to be eligible to reside in the park over the
summer.
4) HOUSING CONTRACT RENEWAL
The process of renewing one’s housing contract involves:
1. Vehicle inspection as outlined below. Included in this will be a site inspection to
assure that the cleanliness and good condition of the site is being maintained.
2. Presentation of a current vehicle registration.
3. Signing of the new housing contract.
5) APPLICATIONS
Applications are accepted continually and may be obtained from:
The Village Office, Building C-1
Lower Quarry Road
Santa Cruz, CA 95064
A non-refundable fee of $10 covers the costs of processing and must be submitted with a signed
application to the Village Office. Students are eligible to apply once they have been admitted to the
University.

6) SPACE ASSIGNMENT
A wait list shall be maintained, and spaces assigned from the list of those who meet all requirements.
Preliminary offers may be made to more than one person on the waiting list, and to more students than
there are spaces available; however, spaces will be assigned only to those who reply by the stated
deadline, in the order responses are received.
New residents are welcome to bring in their own residence vehicles, or may purchase a vehicle from a
departing resident. Purchase of a trailer does not affect eligibility to live in the park, but may affect to
which space a new resident is assigned. New residents may request particular spaces, but no guarantee
of a particular space is given or implied by the University.
All necessary documentation, including current California Vehicle Registration and Marriage
Certificate (if applicable) shall be provided, and inspections performed, before a space may be
occupied. Residents who will be residing in vehicles they do not own must present a letter from the
owner giving them permission to live in the vehicle.
Eligible applicants will be notified when a space is available, instructed where to bring the residence
vehicle for inspection, and asked to present the proper certifications. Delay in reporting and assuming
occupancy, or failure to provide certificates or pass the inspection may result in the cancellation of the
reservation.
7) VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
Any commercially manufactured motor home or trailer which meets all conditions listed under this
section is eligible for consideration for a space in the park. No tents, tent trailers, buses, slide-in truckmounted
campers, vans or autos are permitted.
All vehicles must have a current registration from the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
Current registration must be maintained as long as the vehicle is in the park. A copy of
registration must be provided to the University to keep on file. Neither vehicle title nor a
certificate of non-operation will meet these requirements. Vehicles with out of state registrations
must be re-registered in California.
Minimum vehicle length is 16 feet, and maximum vehicle length is 28 feet (including hitch). Units
over 22 feet may be limited to certain spaces. The length of the unit shall include any extensions,
awnings or other attachments, as well as hitches or mounting devices. Maximum width, including any
attachments, is 12 feet. Overhanging trees or shrubs may reduce this area. No part of the residence
vehicle or its equipment or attachments may extend beyond the crushed gravel surface of the pad, or
encroach on surrounding flora.
All vehicles must be structurally sound and must be adequately sealed against the weather. Adequate
space and vehicle suitable for habitation must be provided. All vehicles must be kept in good working
order at all times. All vehicles will be inspected by campus personnel prior to space assignment, to
insure that all requirements are met. Vehicles will be re-inspected at least once a year to ensure that
they are in good condition.
7a) Motorhomes
Motorhomes are acceptable as long as they meet all requirements. Residents should be aware,
however, that the DMV requires smog certificates and insurance for drivable vehicles, making this a
more expensive option. Drivable vehicles must be maintained in good running condition throughout
their time in the park, and residents will be asked to demonstrate this. It is expected that drivable
vehicles will not be a resident’s primary means of transportation, and will rarely be moved from the
park.

7b) Structural Integrity and Mobility
Roof must be weather-tight. No tarps are allowed except as short-term emergency repair. Floor must
be in good condition, without dry rot or holes. Vehicle's waste and supply plumbing must not leak.
Doors and Windows must be intact. All vents must be unobstructed. Vehicle's structure must not be
damaged, nor modified to reduce its structural integrity. Vehicle should be capable of being taken on
the road. Residents may be required to periodically demonstrate this. Wheel bearings and brakes
must be functional. Tires must be safe and road-worthy. Road lighting (brakes, running lights) must
be operational.
7c) Cooking Facilities for the Preparation of Food
Permanently installed liquefied propane (LP) gas-powered cooking facilities (stove/range) are
recommended. All gas appliances must be properly vented to the outside of the vehicle. Use of camp
stoves is not permitted. Electric appliances with exposed heating elements (electric ranges, hot plates)
may NOT be used, although microwave ovens or toaster ovens may be allowed (see “Electricity”).
7d) Propane
Plumbing must be in good repair. Hoses and pipes must be in good condition and free of leaks.
Propane bottles must be properly secured. Gas pressure regulator must work properly. Propane
appliances such as stove tops, ovens, water heaters and space heaters must function properly. Vehicles
using propane must have approved propane leak detectors properly installed and fully operable.
7e) Electrical System
A 110v AC electrical system installed to code, and capable of connection with park utilities. All
electrical systems and all outlets must be grounded. External power cords must be 10-gauge with a 30-
amp plug and a right-angle cord cap. Wiring, outlets, electrical devices and appliances must be in
good repair. Electrical loads must not exceed rated capacity of wiring. Extension cords must not
exceed 6', and must have circuit breaker protection. Must have internal breaker box with sufficient
circuits for safe use of electrical system and no less than two circuits. Electrical cords shall be not run
out of windows or doors. (See cautions under “Electricity”).
7f) Lighting
Adequate electric interior and entry lighting. Either 110v or 12v lights are acceptable, although 12v
lights must be on a converter from the 110v system if no 110v lights are installed. No LP or other gas
lighting systems will be permitted. If such systems are installed, they must be permanently
disconnected and the lines capped off. The use of portable gas lanterns is not permitted.
7g) Heating
Adequate heating must be provided with either an LP gas catalytic heater, permanently installed and
properly vented or a portable electric heater drawing no more than 1500 watts. Electric space heaters,
where used, must have tip-over shutoffs and must be placed away from combustible materials per
manufacturers' recommendations.

7h) Smoke Detector and Fire Safety
At least one campus-approved smoke detector, with test button, and one fire extinguisher (minimum
2.5 lb. ABC), with current certification tag displayed, must be permanently installed in an appropriate
location and remain operable at all times. Halon extinguishers are not acceptable. Smoke detectors
must have silencer buttons.
7i) Water Access, Dispensing and Storage
At least one sink, with operable, cold running water should be available, along with a properly
connected, campus-approved gray water receiver/container (5 gal. min.). No gray water can be
dumped on the ground but must be dumped at the dumping station. Domestic water and gray water
holding tanks must not leak. All connections must be watertight.
7j) Hitch
All trailers must have standard 1 7/8” or 2” hitch assemblies. Hitch must be maintained in good
condition.
7k) Heated Water
Hot water heaters are not required (they are recommended), but the unit must have a method for
heating water (such as on a stove) for sanitary purposes.
7l) Toilets
Toilets are not required, but if installed, must have an adequate and operable black water storage
system, or be connected to the campus sewer system at the site.
7m) Showers
Showers are not required, but if so equipped, the unit must have adequate gray water storage capacity,
or be connected to the campus sewer system at the site. All disposable hoses must be clearly
watertight. All units in sites without direct sewer connections must use the dump station to empty
gray and black water systems. No unit without an assigned sewer connection may connect to the park
sewer system.
7n) Vehicle Stabilizing and Parking
At least one wheel on each side of the vehicle must be adequately blocked front and rear at all times to
prevent rolling. All trailers must have sufficient jacks or jack devices to stabilize the unit on a longterm
basis. All such jacks, stabilizing devices, or blocks must be placed on a platform to distribute
vehicle weight. (Minimum size 18” x 18” x 3/4”). Blocking or jacks should be securely and properly
placed so as to be stable and not damage vehicle undercarriage.
8) LIVING IN THE PARK
8a) Rent
Rent is due on the first of each month and will be considered late after the tenth. Late payments will
be subject to a late fee. Repeated late payments may result in cancellation of the lease. Residents who
move in after the first of the month may have the rent for that month prorated. The park facilities are
designed to accommodate a limited number of people. Because of this, a maximum of two people may
reside in each unit, even if the unit may accommodate more. Children are not permitted.

8b) Leaves of Absence
If a resident takes an approved leave of absence, the resident may apply for special permission to
remain in residence in the park for up to one quarter.
8c) Keys
Each resident will be issued a key to the rest room/community building facilities and a mailbox key.
Keys may not be loaned out and rooms must be re-locked after use. In the event that a key is lost, the
resident must inform the management within 48 hours. The resident will be responsible for the cost of
changing locks and reissuing new keys.
8d) Security
Residents are advised to keep their vehicles locked. All common facilities must be kept locked and
secure. Use of common facilities is restricted to residents and invited guests while accompanied by
the resident.
8e) Roommates
Roommates are allowed but must have a completed Roommate Agreement on file with the University
prior to the roommate moving in. Roommates must be a legal spouse with a current marriage
certificate on file, or a current full-time UCSC student. The lease holder is cautioned that by the act of
permitting a roommate to reside in the vehicle, the lease holder is granting the roommate certain rights
that may only be denied by proper action of the law. Additional fees will be charged for roommates.
Further information may be gathered by reading a copy of the Roommate Agreement. Cancellation of
a Roommate Agreement requires notice to the office by the resident either in person or in writing of
intent to cancel such agreement.
8f) Subletting
Subletting is not permitted.
8g) Visitors
Visitors are permitted for up to seven consecutive days. Visitors for longer periods must be approved
in writing by the Camper Park Administrator before the visitor’s arrival. No resident may have
overnight visitors for more than a total of thirty days during any residence year (July 1-June 30). No
visitors may be present when the resident is absent from the park. “House-sitting” is not permitted.
Host residents are responsible for the actions of their guests. No guest parking is permitted at any time
within the Park. A guest may be required to leave at the request of the staff.

Host residents are responsible for the actions of their guests. No guest parking is permitted at any time
within the Park. A guest may be required to leave at the request of the staff.

8h) Noise
The UCSC Recreational Vehicle Park is an academic community. As such, we support the need
for study, and our basic rule is “The Right to Quiet Supersedes the Right to Make Noise.” In
general, every attempt should be made to keep noise from carrying beyond one’s own residence.
Residents must significantly reduce or eliminate noise when asked to do so. Noise from groups,
stereo (or related) equipment, or generated outdoors is of particular concern. Residents are
encouraged to talk to each other before making a complaint to the coordinator or campus.
8i) Alcohol
Residents are expected to abide by all campus regulations governing the use of alcohol. Use of
alcohol in community facilities or outdoors is prohibited.
8j) Pets
With the exception of animals that live exclusively underwater, pets are not permitted. Aquariums may
not exceed ten gallons.
8k) Electricity
The electrical power at each site is designed for basic interior lighting and small appliance use only. It
is UNSAFE for use in other ways, and will not meet the needs of air conditioning, electric stoves or
ovens, or other large appliances. Use of multiple appliances may overload the circuit and result in
power loss. No use of electricity outside of the residence vehicle is permitted. The cost of electricity
is included in the rent, although residents may be charged for excessive usage.
8l) Inspections
In addition to the first inspection, residents must permit routine inspections as deemed necessary by
the campus. All vehicles will be inspected at least annually for the purposes of contract renewal or
before offering a vehicle for sale to incoming residents. Residents will be given at least 24 hours
notice prior to inspection.
If defects are found during an inspection, or at any other time, residents will be notified of the defect
and given a date by which corrections must be made. The amount of time given may vary depending
on the nature of the problem. No new or renewal contracts will be issued until all problems are
corrected.
Failure to permit or pass inspection, or to comply with an order to make repairs may result in
cancellation of the rental agreement.
An inspection fee will be assessed for each inspection. Residents who do not pass the inspection may
be reinspected once at no cost. Another fee will be assessed for each additional inspection.
8m) Repairs
Only minor maintenance on vehicles is permitted in the park. Engine rebuilding, brake rebuilding,
structural repairs, or similar work that requires the vehicle to be inoperable for more than a few hours
is not permitted. No additions, improvements, painting, or other alterations to the exterior of the
residence vehicle are permitted unless approved in writing by the University in advance. No
alterations to the plumbing, electrical, gas or other mechanical systems of the vehicle, beyond minor
repairs, are permitted unless approved in writing by the University in advance. Residents are
responsible for the clean-up and removal of all trash and debris and the proper disposal of oil and used
parts. Proper steps should be taken to prevent oil or grease spills on the ground or pad. It is expected
that residence vehicles will be moved only on rare occasion.

All residence units must be kept in good working order at all times, however, so that they may be
moved on short notice. Obstructions on pads that prevent short-notice removal of vehicles are
prohibited.
8n) Trailer Space & Storage
Residents are responsible for keeping their residence and immediate area in a neat and orderly fashion.
No additional storage is available, and no outside storage (or storage structure) is permitted except
with prior written permission. Bicycles, surfboards and other recreational equipment may be placed
outside providing the items are safe, usable and not unattractive. Quantities should be limited, and
residents may be asked to remove excess items. Only furniture designed for outdoor use is permitted
outside the residence vehicle. Upholstered furniture, futons, and other items intended for indoor use
must be kept indoors. Residents are required to remove outside items or clean up their site when
requested by the staff. Construction of decks, awnings, storage containers or other improvements is
prohibited. Pre-existing decks or other structures may in some cases be allowed to remain in the Park
temporarily, at the discretion of the University. Nothing may be placed or stored beyond the confines
of the paved trailer pad without written permission. Nothing may be stored under, on top of or
outside of residence vehicle or deck except as stated below:
Providing space is available, residents may have no more than one (1) commercially manufactured
storage container on the paved pad outside of their residence vehicle. Homemade containers are
not permitted. Prior to installing a storage container residents must submit a request in writing
indicating the size and placement of the container.
Approval shall be at the discretion of the Camper Park administration, depending on availability
of space. No unit can be placed in such a way that it would obstruct the movement of the vehicle.
Storage units may not be placed in the woods surrounding the vehicle. Containers shall be no
larger than 60”x 65”x 80” (in some cases, a small number of smaller containers may be approved,
but the cumulative size can be no greater than the dimensions above). Some spaces may have
room for only a smaller container or no container at all. Appropriate placement and maximum
size for each space will be determined by the Camper Park administration. Residents will be
expected to remove the storage container at the end of their contract period.
Residents are responsible for the removal from the park and the proper disposal of any hazardous
materials, including paints, solvents, pesticides, household cleansers and other materials.
8o) Common Facilities
Residents and their guests are expected to use all common space and facilities with due care and
respect. No alterations to common facilities are permitted without prior permission. No removal of or
damage to vegetation is permitted without prior permission. Attaching awnings, clotheslines or other
items to trees or other foliage is prohibited. Leaving furniture or other items in the road is prohibited.
Items left in the road constitute hazards and may be removed and disposed of.
9) MOVING OUT
Residents are expected to move out at the end of their contract period, unless the contract is renewed
by the University. Residents may cancel the housing contract at any time with 30 days written notice.
Students who graduate will be expected to move out by the end of the month in which they graduate.

Residents who are moving may offer their residence vehicles for sale to incoming residents if they
choose. However, the University makes no guarantee, implicit or explicit, that residents will sell their
vehicles. The University may determine that a vehicle no longer meets current standards or that the
condition of a vehicle renders it ineligible for continued use in the park. While the University does not
conduct “pre-purchase” inspections, outgoing residents may be required to submit to and pass an
inspection before offering their vehicle for sale to incoming residents. All residents should plan on
removing their residence vehicles and all personal property at the end of their contract period.
10) PARKING
No parking is permitted within the Camper Park at any time. Parking for Camper Park residents is
available in nearby lots. Parking permits may be purchased at the Campus Parking Office. Short-term
parking spaces are available at the park entrance for unloading of supplies, etc. To limit problems
from noise and lights, no vehicle traffic is permitted in the park between the hours of 10:30 PM and
7:30 AM. Violation of these regulations by residents or their guests may result in cancellation of the
housing agreement.
11) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
11a) All rules and regulations applicable to the general campus also pertain to park residents and their
guests. Residents are responsible for being familiar with and abiding by applicable rules and
regulations, as well as all local, state and federal laws.
11b) To avoid sound and air pollution, individual power generators are not permitted for use within
the park.
11c) All Campus Fire Prevention Rules shall be enforced. BBQs, hibachis or other sources of open
