Removing or evicting a guest from your park can be difficult, and in California, legislature provides ample rights to your guest and fewer rights for you, the operator/owner. 

The California RV Park Occupancy Law can be found under California Civil Code, Title 2, Part 2 of Division 2. Some attorneys or local law enforcement may not be familiar with RV Park Occupancy Law and may try to use other less stringent eviction codes. However, they do not apply.

California Outdoor Hospitality Association has created the Practical Guide to the Removal & Eviction Process to help guide you through the different processes that apply to RV parks. In quick summary, all removals or evictions are based on three essential time frames of a guest.

If a guest’s length of stay is:

• less than 30 days, the guest is an occupant and requires a 7 day notice for eviction (*civil code signage must be present for removal & eviction
• more than 30 days but less than 9 months, the guest is a tenant and requires a 30 day no cause eviction notice
• more than 9 months, the guest is a resident and requires a 60 day with cause eviction notice

The legal forms provided by CalOHA should be served in accordance with the RV Park Occupancy Law. With the help of Hart Kienle Pentecost and Rudderow Law Group, CalOHA has created forms to assist you with all three types of occupancy. 

Note: Proper use of these forms, when required, can save you time and protect you from potential legal problems and mistakes. The forms are for general usage only and are not a substitute for individualized documents and advice by legal professionals. Prior to using these forms, you should consult with your lawyer.

As the camping season comes into full swing, make sure you have everything you need for your campers as well as what is required by the state!

The state of California requires RV parks and campgrounds to have four specific regulatory signs posted in your park prior to registering your guests. These signs are also the first step in the eviction process, should you need to have a guest removed from your park. Fortunately for our members, the California Outdoor Hospitality Association has provided legal regulatory signage containing the required state law, penal and civil codes to protect your park. These specific signs include the SB317 Formaldehyde sign, an emergency information sign, an eviction sign, and an inn keepers sign. CalOHA recommends ordering this signage directly from our office, as we have had our legal team look over and clear them for use.
