Q: Can a campground owner force a camper to leave?
We have a camper (and his female companion) who has been staying with us for 8 months.
He has expanded his site significantly and has installed outdoor lighting on poles.
He has set up "KEEP OUT" signs, has told prospective campers that they can't park in the adjacent site because he needs it for parking his vehicles.
He has been very disrespectful of other campers and has cursed repeatedly at one of the camper's wives.
He has also harassed adjacent campers that they are causing flys to enter his camper.
We would like to remove the camper immediately if possible.
A:
If you have a written lease with this "camper," then the terms apply. And if he's violated terms, you can evict.
As the owner of the adjacent lot, you have complete say in whether someone can use the site. Step in and assert yourself. Have a friendly conversation.
And if there is no written lease, or agreement for a term, or if he has not paid, you can revoke permission and ask him to leave.
Better yet, bring all your documents to a lawyer, pay for an hour or two of his time, and get a solid opinion and course of action.
