No comments on proposed campgrounds amendments

The State Board of Health is considering amending several sections of the Rules and Regulations Governing Campgrounds (Title 35.1 - Hotels, Restaurants, Summer Camps, and Campgrounds) to reconcile regs with current campground use.

As was described in Campgrounds may get new rules under proposed amendments, event sponsors are seeking waivers for festivals and short-term outdoor events. Primitive camping is also more common.

The state held a public hearing June 20 and sought public comments (due July 28). No public comments were submitted. Look for the final regulations in the Virginia Register of Regulations.
