Latest version.
  •      1. An advertisement must not contain terms such as “minutes away,” “short distance,” “only miles,” “near” or similar indistinct or indefinite terms which are intended to indicate distance unless the actual distance in miles along a road is stated in conjunction with the term and the type of road traversed is described.

         2. An advertisement which refers to or depicts “roads” or “streets” must affirmatively disclose the nature of those roads or streets, including whether the roads or streets are paved, gravel or dirt, and if a road or street is not traversable year-round by a conventional automobile.

         3. A promotional offer which is advertised must not use the terms “free,” “no obligation” or a term of similar meaning to describe that which is offered unless the offer is unequivocally without any conditions.

         4. A membership must not be advertised a being “free” if the prospective purchaser is required to give any consideration, or if any additional membership or interest must be purchased to render the “free” membership usable. A membership may be advertised as being offered “for closing costs only” if the closing costs are fully disclosed and there is not other consideration.

         5. An advertisement may use the term “waterfront” or other terms of similar meaning only if the campground actually fronts on a body of water and has full and usable access along the frontage.
