Design and location of improvements must be approved prior to construction by Big Water Campground management. Lot improvements are only permitted on seasonal lots. All items constructed by campers are to remain portable and removable at all times.
A drawing of the project must be submitted and approved before start of construction.
Any items found to be beyond set limits will result in request to dismantle.
Extensions:

· New prefabricated manufactured extensions must be purchased and installed through Big Water Campground and conform to park size restrictions. Various styles and sizes are available. This does not affect extensions already existing.
· Extensions must be constructed in such a way as to be removable and allow easy trailer removal.
· Extensions must not have a roof that extends over the original trailer in any way.
· Untreated lumber must not contact the ground.
Gazebos:
