Camping grounds; competition with private businesses. Requires the Department of Conservation and Recreation, on or before March 1 of each year, to set its camping ground fees at or above the mean fee charged for the same service by private camping grounds in the same and adjoining counties. The bill prohibits the Department from constructing any new camping ground unless it concludes that private camping ground operators are not providing the area with adequate camping facilities. The bill also prohibits the Department from operating any restaurant, store, or other facility that competes with a private business in the same county or an adjoining county unless it makes a good-faith, unsuccessful effort to secure a private business to operate the facility every two years.
