Rules, Regulations and Park Policies 2007 - 2008  

[The Navigation Bar feature is not available in this web]

The following rules, regulations and park policies are for the protection of all of the guests/residents of Bonita Mesa RV Resort L.L.C. ("Bonita Mesa" or the "Park"), and for making the park a pleasant and safe environment for all of Bonita Mesa's guests/residents; the terms "guests" and "residents" are considered by Bonita Mesa to be synonymous. The rules are for everyone. We are all living in close proximity to our neighbors and we need to follow some basic rules of consideration.  Many of these rules have previously been implied and are now formalized.
All of our indoor facilities are non-smoking. Smoking areas have been set-up in areas outside the indoor facilities. Please put all ashes and cigarette butts into the receptacles designated for them.
The Management of Bonita Mesa has final approval of all Recreational Vehicles (seasonal or annual) moving into our park.  Management also has the right to request an RV occupying an annual site to be moved out of the park if sold.

SPECIAL RULES:
Special rules relating to the clubhouse, laundry room and all other common areas will also be posted in these locations.  The special rules constitute a part of these rules and regulations, and violations of the posted rules will be treated as a violation of these rules and regulations.
The management reserves the right to revise, eliminate, modify or add rules at any time.  All such changes or additions will be posted on the bulletin board in the clubhouse and any such changes or additions will take precedence over the printed rules.
