Following eviction, said person may make written request to the owner or operator or their agent of such recreational campground or camping park within 30 days for the refund of the unused portion of his prepaid campsite rental or visitor fee. Upon such a request, such owner or operator shall refund such unused portion of the fees, less any amount deducted to pay for damages.III.Any law enforcement officer of this state, upon request of a recreational campground or camping park owner or operator or their agent, shall place under arrest and take into custody any person who violates this section in the presence of the officer. Upon arrest, the person shall be deemed to have abandoned his right of use of the recreational campground or camping park and the owner or operator or their agent may then make such campsite available to other persons. The owner or operator or their agent of a recreational campground or camping park shall employ all reasonable means to protect any personal property left in storage at the recreational campground or camping park. 1989, 343:1, eff.
