Dear Chass;

Interesting timing. I just spent a couple hours today reviewing the 1999
final report of the Outdoor Developed Areas Committee of the Access Board
that addressed campground and proposed some accessibility guidelines for
campgrounds under Title II and Title III of the ADA. I sure would like to
talk to the person who gave you this line of bull. This person seems to be
living in some other country or at least in a different century. A
campground is, if privately owned, a place of public accommodation required
to comply with Title III of the ADA. If a campground is owned by a local or
state government then it would constitute a program of the public entity and
would have to comply with Title II of the ADA. In order to fall under the
FHA the campground would have to be selling camping spaces as permanent
residences and be zoned as a residential facility, not as a campground or
outdoor recreational area. Using this person's argument all hotels would be
exempt from the ADA and covered by the FHA.

Assuming that this is a privately owned campground Title III of the ADA
requires that service dogs be allowed. The campground owner or manager can
ask you if you are a person with a disability, if your dog is a service dog,
and what task is your service dog trained to perform. Beyond that no
questions can be asked of you as a condition of access. By asking you for a
letter from your physician they have already violated the ADA.

In addition to allowing you to have your service dog they are also required
to provide accessible facilities ranging from an accessible route through
the campground and to your accessible camping space, accessible parking,
accessible restrooms, accessible showers, etc.

If you would email to me on list or off list the name and phone number of
the person who is trying to violate your civil rights I would very much like
to speak with this person.
