Any attempt to circumvent the 7-day maximum or 30-day total annual length of stay is prohibited by Ch. 40D-9.260, F.A.C..  Trash, debris, and any other personal belongings must be removed from the campgrounds at the end of your reservation. Failure to remove such items will result in a notice from the District. If the owner fails to remove such items within three days of the District notice, the District will remove and dispose of the items. The District may seek reimbursement for costs associated with removal. Any violations of any of the foregoing may result in penalties including, but not limited to, permit cancellation or future permit denial.
