I had breakfast this morning with a good friend who owns a couple of hotels. He was pretty upset as he just got word that the DOJ ruling on elevator lifts for pools would be effective tomorrow. Since he is afraid of being sued, he is thinking he will just have to close the pools for now. Description of regulations is here Pool access regulations.
A couple of times each year we travel with the grandkids and where we stay sometimes depends on availability of nice pools. Has anyone heard what campgrounds intend to do. Will they spend the money to comply? Close the pool? Ignore? Or maybe the rules do not apply to them. Maybe a campground owner watching this thread can answer. |

Although I don't have a pool at my campground, I have received several e-mails about this subject from the ARVC (National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds). According to what we are told, Campgrounds ARE included in this mandate. As I understand it, some campgrounds have already purchased portable lift units, but those do not meet the requirements and will have to be permanently fixed in place to be an approved lift. This clarification came six weeks before the March 15 deadline.
I have not spoken with any campground owners with pools to see what they are doing to comply with the law. |
