A. No membership campground may be advertised or promoted in any way that guarantees the unimpeded use of or access to the campground’s properties unless the membership camping operator applies for and receives approval by filing information satisfactory to the department guaranteeing that the purchasers of membership camping contracts cannot be denied access to and use of campground properties pursuant to the membership camping contracts. The department may require the applicant to pay for any costs of experts hired by the department to evaluate the application, nondisturbance clause or financial condition of the applicant. No lien or encumbrance may be construed to deny access and use.
