Campground site plans

A campground layout is fixed by a short list of numbers: sites per acre under the state and county caps, sanitary fixtures per site, road widths and fire access. This page sets out those standards by state, with the code sections behind each one.

What a campground site plan carries

A campground site plan is a count of sites, a sanitation plan and a road network, drawn on one sheet. The preliminary plan fixes the program before engineering starts: tent sites, RV sites, camp cabins, the bathhouse and laundry, the office, the sanitary waste station, internal roads, parking and the amenity core. A mixed program like the 60 to 120 site model project in Chaffee County, Colorado combines RV full-hookup sites, tent sites and cabins with an office, bathhouse and laundry, and a sanitary waste station.

The site data table on a campground sheet carries the numbers a reviewer checks first:

  • gross acreage, and net acreage where the cap is measured net of roads, buildings and common areas;
  • zoning district and the use category (campground, RV park, rural resort or lodging);
  • sites per acre against the state cap and the county cap;
  • setbacks from property lines, roads, streams and between sites;
  • sanitary fixtures required against fixtures provided, and the walk distance to the bathhouse;
  • parking required against provided, and the unit mix by site type.

The studio draws this as a preliminary site plan: layout, yield and the data table. Wastewater design, water supply, grading and drainage are engineering, done by the client's engineer of record on the same base.

Site counts: density caps and site sizes

The cap sets the ceiling, and states define it differently. Colorado counts campsites per acre net of roads, buildings and common areas; Florida counts units per gross acre; Michigan sets no numeric cap and limits sites to the licensed count.

Banner Elk, North Carolina5 acres required; 30% use and 70% open space3,000 sq ft per campsite (Code 152.207)[10]

The county cap in Chaffee County is gross, so a 60 to 120 unit program needs 3 to 6 gross acres by code, and realistic gross area is materially larger once the 100 ft residential-edge setbacks, OWTS fields, augmentation and drainage areas, and resource setbacks are applied [2]. The RV sites per acre guide covers the gap between these caps and built yields.

Wastewater flow can resize the count before density does. In Colorado, Regulation 43 Table 6-2 sets 50 gpd per campsite, and an on-site system above 2,000 gpd becomes a domestic wastewater treatment works under Regulation 22 site location approval, so more than 40 campsites crosses the line [11, 12]. A 2022 public notice described Chaffee County's Applejack RV Park as 29 RV-only spaces proposed in two phases, served by a commercial well and two OWTS [13]. North Carolina sizes bathhouse campsites at 70 gal per campsite and sends systems above 3,000 gpd to State review [14]; how unit type changes the flow is covered on the glamping site plan page.

Classification: what the state calls the project

Whether a state licenses the campground, and how, decides who reviews the plan before construction. Michigan's license applies to any campground with 5 or more recreational units (MCL 333.12501) [15]. New York defines a campground as 5 or more campsites (10 NYCRR 7-3.1(b)) [16]. Wisconsin licenses campgrounds of 4 or more sites, or 1 to 3 sites if advertised (ATCP 79.05(1)(a)) [17]. Minnesota licenses "recreational camping areas" of 5 or more tents or RVs [18]. Colorado's rule defines campground classes up to developed and modern campgrounds [1]; Chaffee County's PCR district allows only primitive, semi-primitive or semi-developed campgrounds at 10 sites per acre, which rules out a full-hookup cabin campground there [2].

No state campground license was located for North Carolina or Texas in the 2026 review, so zoning and the building code drive approval there. Texas's TCEQ regulates septic, drinking water and stormwater (RG-499) [33], and North Carolina reaches RV parks through its septic rules (15A NCAC 18E) [34]. For every state not listed here, confirm the licensing agency and its rule with the county and the state health department at pre-application.

Tent sites, RV sites and setbacks

Tent and RV sites follow different setback lines even inside one campground. Chaffee County's code shows the split clearly [2]:

Setback (Chaffee County, Colorado)RV and cabin sitesTent sites
From residential-zoned private land100 ft100 ft
Side and rear property lines20 ft50 ft
Roads and access easements25 ft25 ft
Between sites20 ft from other campsites, buildings, structures20 ft from other sites
Rivers and streamsResource setbacks100 ft from river or stream edge
Internal roads and drives10 ftNot stated

State spacing rules sit underneath, and the county's 20 ft between sites is twice the state's 10 ft [1, 2]. Colorado keeps units 10 ft from buildings and units on adjacent sites, 3 ft from campsite lot lines and 25 ft from a public highway right-of-way [1]. Wisconsin requires a 10 ft minimum between camping units (ATCP 79.13(1)) [3]. Michigan requires a 4 ft unobstructed path around units on sites of at least 1,200 sq ft [6]. Tennessee requires 15 ft or more between units under its organized camp rule (Rule 1200-01-05, July 2002 text) [31]. Banner Elk, North Carolina sets a 35 ft perimeter setback from a property line in a residential zone and 200 ft from a non-associated residence [10].

Creek setbacks can remove the most marketable sites. At Pine Creek in Chaffee County, the applicant asked for 100 ft creek setbacks where, the Chaffee County Times reported, "the county land use code requires 300 and Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommended 500" [35]. At Cottonwood Creek, the Chaffee County Times reported that a 2026 request to cut the 300 ft setback to 100 ft failed when the Board of Adjustment could not reach a unanimous vote to overturn staff [36]. RV pads inside a campground follow the RV park rules for pad size, hookups and electrical mix, set out on the RV park site plan and RV resort site plan pages.

Cabins in a campground

A camp cabin is a campsite for density and a building for permits. In Chaffee County, camp cabins sit 20 ft from all roads and drives, need a permanent foundation or treated timbers anchored for wind, may need a building permit, and carry a fire alarm with battery backup and an extinguisher in each [2]. Cabins with full kitchens and baths sized like lodging may instead be read as "Rural Resort" (FAR cap 0.05 in MUR) or "Commercial Lodging" [2]. At state level, Colorado's campground rule allows permanent or semi-permanent cabins only by the owner and under building codes (6 CCR 1010-9 Sec. 5.8) [1].

State rules draw the line at size and plumbing: California, Michigan and New York set the camping-cabin line under 400 sq ft with no interior plumbing, and a larger or plumbed cabin moves to lodging or building rules [37, 38, 39]. Wisconsin requires a tourist rooming house license under ATCP 72 for an operator-provided unit over 400 sq ft (ATCP 79.13(3)(a)2) [17]. Montana goes the other way: its "shelter unit" (ARM 37.111.1201(27)) covers tents, cabins, yurts and tipis, may have plumbing and has no size cap [24]. Missouri's DHSS lodging license covers establishments of 5 or more guest rooms, including cabins (RSMo 315.005 to 315.065) [40]. Michigan bars footings below grade for accessory structures on licensed campsites [41]. The unit-by-unit code treatment of cabins, tents, yurts, domes and tiny homes is on the glamping site plan page.

Bathhouse sizing

The bathhouse is sized from the count of dependent sites (sites without their own toilet and sewer connection) and placed by the walk-distance rule.

StateFixture ratioWalk distanceSource
Colorado1 toilet and 1 lavatory per sex per 15 sites; 1 shower per sex per 30 sites; independent-only parks 1 per sex per 100 sitesService building 10 to 400 ft from dependent sites[1]
Utah (RV parks)1 toilet, 1 hand sink and 1 bath fixture per sex for every 15 dependent RV or tent sites15 to 500 ft from those sites[42]
New YorkAt least 4 toilets (2 per sex), then 1 per sex per 25 more unsewered sites or per 75 sewered sites; 1 handwash per 2 toiletsWithin 500 ft[43]
Georgia1 toilet, 1 lavatory, 1 shower per sex, plus 1 urinal, per 10 dependent RV spaces or 10 non-permanent structuresWithin 200 ft[22]
Florida (recreational camps)Toilets 1:10 females, 1:15 males; showers 1:15 (64E-15.009)Not stated[44]
Minnesota1 to 15 dependent sites: 1 toilet each sex, 1 urinal, 1 lavatory and 1 shower each sex; 1 sanitary station per 100 sitesWithin 400 ft[18]
Vermont1 toilet per 10 or fewer dependent sites; privies and composting toilets allowedWithin 400 ft[26]
Michigan (primitive)A potable water outlet and privies for every 25 sites (R 325.1556a)Not stated[45]
Michigan (primitive sites beside a modern campground)Add 1 toilet and 1 lavatory per sex for every 50 primitive sites served by the modern service building (Rule 21 schedule)Not stated[46]

Virginia uses a step table instead of a ratio (12VAC5-450-100) [25]:

SitesToiletsLavatoriesShowers
1 to 15222
16 to 30442
31 to 45662
46 to 60864
61 to 751084

Support stations follow the same count. Colorado requires a water fill station per 100 sites, set 50 ft from the sanitary station; a sanitary waste station per 100 sites without sewer hookups, 50 ft from any campsite; and common faucets within 150 ft of sites [1]. Utah keeps a dump station at least 50 ft from any site [42]. Colorado refuse containers hold 8 cu ft (60 gal) per 5 campsites and sit within 300 ft of sites [1].

Roads, parking and fire access

Campground roads are set by the state campground rule, the county road standard and the fire code, and the strictest one governs each segment.

StandardValueSource
Entrance (Colorado)24 ft unless separate exit; at least two means of access to the entrance[1]
Interior lanes (Colorado)One lane 10 ft; two lanes 20 ft; parallel parking lane 10 ft; 13 ft overhead and 3 ft side clearance[1]
Dead ends (Colorado)50 ft turnaround, Y or T[1]
Parking (Colorado)At least 1 space per campsite[1]
Commercial two-way driveway (Chaffee County)24 ft minimum; cul-de-sac turnaround radius 45 ft; parcels over 10 acres show an alternate access road[47]
Grades (Chaffee County)8% maximum on local (residential) roads; grades over 5% need a PE drainage plan[47]
Fire apparatus driveways (Chaffee County IWUIC)14 ft clear width, 14 ft clear height; turnarounds beyond 150 ft; turnouts 10 ft x 30 ft every 400 ft[48]
Special occupancy parks (California)Two-way 18 ft, one-way 12 ft; 25 ft with parking on one side; 32 ft both sides (25 CCR 2106)[49]
GeorgiaAll-weather driveway, at least 20 ft unobstructed[22]
Washington County, Utah40 to 59 sites: paved two-way, 20 ft minimum width; 60 or more: paved, 28 ft minimum; 20 tent sites or more: tent roads looped for emergency access[50]

NFPA 1194, the national standard for RV parks and campgrounds, is in its 2026 edition and requires site plans in Section 5.1.1 [51]. Texas made NFPA 1194 (2021 edition) mandatory for private campgrounds and cabin properties, "other than Sections 1.1.1 and 5.1.1.1," under Health and Safety Code Ch. 762 (SB 1, signed September 5, 2025), which also requires floodplain evacuation plans [32]. The local layer in Texas is on RV park site plans in Texas.

Approval paths

Two patterns cover most campground approvals.

Conditional use in rural zones. In Chaffee County, Colorado, Campground or RV Park is a Conditional Use with a public hearing in AR, RR, MUR, MUC and PCR, decided by the Board of County Commissioners [2]. Campgrounds moved from Limited Impact Review to this Conditional Use path when the new Land Use Code took effect on January 1, 2025 [52], and the code lets the board impose future moratoria "for a period not to exceed 32 months" [2]. One review standard is "a demonstrated need in the County for the conditional use" [2]. Under the former code, Heart of the Rockies Radio reported that the Planning Commission approved Aspire Tours on the Arkansas River (10 campsites and 7 cabins) 6-1 [53], and Ark Valley Voice reported that the commissioners unanimously upheld the approval on appeal on April 12, 2022, with minor modifications to its 41 conditions [54]. Under the new code, the Mountain Mail reported that the commissioners unanimously denied the Ramble Outdoors campground at Pine Creek on June 9, 2026, although staff had recommended approval with conditions; Commissioner Wood said "I don't believe the demonstrated need has been fulfilled, and then I don't believe the wildlife mitigation was adequately answered" [55]. Elsewhere, Park County, Colorado 20CUP-08 (Planning Commission January 13 and February 10, 2021) approved a commercial campground with noise and fire conditions [56]; San Bernardino County, California heard a CUP for a 12-site dry campground on 7.5 acres in the RL zone (hearing notice March 25, 2026), 1.6 sites per acre [57]; and Benton County, Oregon LU-25-022 sought a CUP for a "low-intensity campground facility" on a 116-acre Forest Conservation parcel [58].

State campground permit. Where the state licenses campgrounds, a construction permit or plan approval sits alongside zoning: Michigan EGLE requires engineered construction plans and a construction permit before work [15, 19], New York's sewage plans go in at least 30 days before construction [20], Oregon requires DCBS Building Codes Division plan approval before construction [27], and Ohio requires state plan approval [7].

The Chaffee County sequence shows which stages take an unsealed plan. The pre-application packet asks for a "conceptual site plan showing the boundaries of the property, physical features including buildings, driveways, slopes, waterways, utilities" [48].

StageBodyWhat is filedSealed?

County road driveway permitRoad and Bridge$160 [59]Not stated
CDPHE site location and design approvalCDPHE Water Quality Control DivisionSystem above 2,000 gpd [61]Engineered design (PE)

Published county fees put the baseline at $8,620 (CUP $7,500, site plan $800, floodplain $160, driveway $160) before consultant escrow, recording and referral fees; a 1041 permit, if triggered, adds a $5,000 deposit plus cost basis plus 10% [59]. An appeal costs $2,500, refunded if successful, and a variance $1,250 [59].

The full approval table, design standards and comparable decisions are in the Chaffee County campground model project; the statewide picture is on the Colorado campground page and the Colorado RV park and campground page. For Michigan, see RV park site plans in Michigan.

What the engineer of record adds

The preliminary plan carries the layout, counts and data table; the sealed set is built on it. In the Chaffee County model, the engineer of record and the other licensed professionals on the team add [47, 48]:

  • the preliminary drainage report, "prepared, certified, and signed by a registered professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado," and a GESC plan when more than 1 acre is graded;
  • the septic suitability report and wastewater design by a Colorado PE, with test pits on at least 20% of lots [48];
  • the water supply report by a "County approved licensed water engineer, geologist, or hydrologist," with augmentation (UAWCD $3,850 per 0.10 AF unit) [62];
  • fluvial hazard assessment where mapped, and the fire protection and defensible space plans in the wildland-urban interface;
  • the photometric report for site lighting, where the county requires fixtures over 500 lumens to be fully shielded, under 2,700 K, on poles of 20 ft or less [48];
  • plats and surveys by a Colorado PLS, a final 24 in x 36 in mylar with the PLS seal on the cover [48], and building permits for cabins, the bathhouse and the office.

Other states add a close-out step. Michigan requires written verification before initial licensure that construction matched the approved plans (R 325.1556(3)) [6], and EGLE asks for an engineer or owner statement at permit close-out [63]. The Town of Watson, New York requires water and sewage systems "designed by a licensed New York State engineer or architect" [64].

The glamping and campground regulations by state guide sets the state rules side by side. Glamping units inside a campground are covered on the glamping site plan page, with model projects in Buncombe County, North Carolina and Kane County, Utah, and state pages for glamping in North Carolina and glamping in Utah. Cabins inside an RV resort are covered in the Sevier County, Tennessee model project. Cost context is in how much it costs to build an RV park or campground, and the supply side in everyone wants to camp, almost nobody is building campgrounds.

Frequently asked questions

How many campsites fit on an acre?

It depends on the state and county cap. Colorado allows 25 campsites per acre net of roads, buildings and common areas, with 900 sq ft minimum per campsite (6 CCR 1010-9 Sec. 5.3, 5.4) [1]. Chaffee County, Colorado caps campsites and camp cabins at 20 per acre in aggregate, so a 60 to 120 unit program needs 3 to 6 gross acres by code before setbacks [2]. Wisconsin allows 20 sites per acre (ATCP 79.11(5)) [3], and Florida 25 units per gross acre (64E-15.002) [4].

Do cabins count toward campground density?

In Chaffee County, Colorado, yes: the cap is 20 campsites or camp cabins per acre, measured in the aggregate, and each camp cabin needs a permanent foundation or treated timbers, wind anchoring, a fire alarm with battery backup and an extinguisher [2].

How many toilets does a campground bathhouse need?

It is set by state rule. Colorado requires 1 toilet and 1 lavatory per sex per 15 dependent sites and 1 shower per sex per 30 sites [1]. New York requires at least 4 toilets, then 1 per sex per 25 more unsewered sites, within 500 ft (10 NYCRR 7-3.15) [43]. Georgia requires 1 toilet, 1 lavatory and 1 shower per sex for every 10 dependent RV spaces or non-permanent structures, within 200 ft [22].

Does a tent or cabin-only campground in New York need a dump station?

No. 10 NYCRR 7-3.14(e) does not require a dump station for tent or cabin-only sites [20].

When does a campground septic system need state approval in Colorado?

At the Regulation 43 design flow of 50 gpd per campsite, more than 40 campsites exceeds 2,000 gpd, which makes the system a domestic wastewater treatment works under Regulation 22 [11, 12].

Can a campground be built by right in Chaffee County, Colorado?

No. Campground or RV Park is a Conditional Use requiring a public hearing in the AR, RR, MUR, MUC and PCR districts, and it is prohibited in RS, RM and IN [2].

Does Texas license campgrounds?

No state campground license was located, but Health and Safety Code Ch. 762 (SB 1, signed September 5, 2025) now makes NFPA 1194 (2021 edition) mandatory for private campgrounds and cabin properties [32]. TCEQ regulates septic, drinking water and stormwater (RG-499) [33], and county or city codes set the layout.

Does a Chaffee County pre-application need a sealed plan?

No. The pre-application conference takes a letter of intent and a conceptual site plan, with no fee, and staff send a summary within 8 business days [48]. Sealed work comes later: the septic suitability report by a Colorado PE with the Conditional Use Permit, and civil plans for drainage, utilities and parking at site plan [48, 60].
