Iowa Admin. Code r. 761-131.4 - Erection of camping service signs on interstate highways
This rule establishes requirements and procedures for the erection of camping service signs.
(1)
Definition. "All-weather roads" are roads with sufficient
surfacing so as to be passable regardless of weather conditions.
(2)
Requirements.
a. The distance of the camp facility from the
nearest off-ramp intersection with the intersected highway or street should not
exceed five miles via an all-weather road or street.
b. Campsites should have a minimum of 20
spaces available for camping and parking.
c. The camping area and all facilities shall
be available to the public 24 hours a day on a year-round basis. If a camping
facility meets the "24 hours a day" condition but is operated on a seasonal
basis, camping service signs shall be provided with the condition that the sign
be masked (at no cost to the owner) during that part of the year when the
facility is not open to the public.
(3)
Procedures.
a. A request for camping service signs should
be made to the appropriate district office.
b. The appropriate district office shall
forward Form 810013, "Application for Camping Service Sign, Interstate," to the
requesting camp owner.
c. The camp
owner shall complete Form 810013, sign it, and return it to the appropriate
district office.
d. The appropriate
district office shall review Form 810013 and verify by inspection that the
requirements established in subrule 131.4(2) have been met.
e. When the appropriate district office has
verified through inspection that the requirements are satisfied, the district
traffic technician shall complete and sign Form 810013, signifying approval of
the application. A copy of the approved application shall be promptly forwarded
to the applicant.
f. Upon approval
of Form 810013, the department of transportation shall erect and maintain, at
no cost to the camp owner, camping service signs on the interstate highway.
(The department of transportation shall also bear the cost of masking camping
service signs during the periods that seasonal campsites are closed to the
public.)
(4)
Conditions.

campground must meet applicable state and local standards for health and
sanitation. Camping service signs may be removed if the department is notified
by the responsible state or local agency that the campground is in violation of
these standards.
b. Camping service
signs may be removed if the campground is found to be in violation of any other
requirement of this rule.
c.
Signing shall not be reinstalled without proper notification that the violation
has been corrected.
