Section 227-15 of Sloatsburg's Code of Ordinances establishes physical layout and safety standards for trailer camps and tourist camps. Each individual unit—whether a house trailer, cabin, tent house, or similar structure—must have at least 875 square feet of land and be spaced at least 10 feet from neighboring units. The camp must be enclosed by a fence between five and six feet tall, and all internal driveways must be hard-surfaced, clearly marked during the day, and lit at night. Setbacks of at least 30 feet from any highway or street line and 20 feet from adjacent property lines are also required.

Operators of trailer camps or tourist camps in Sloatsburg must design and maintain their properties in compliance with the dimensional and safety requirements of § 227-15. This means laying out rectangular lots in blocks separated by camp streets at least 20 feet wide, ensuring each unit has the required 875 square feet of land area, and maintaining proper setbacks from streets and property lines. Compliant operators also keep the perimeter fence within the five-to-six-foot height range, ensure entrances and exits are clearly marked and traffic-safe, and keep all internal driveways hard-surfaced and properly lit after dark.

Residents of trailer camps or tourist camps in Sloatsburg are entitled to the physical space and safety conditions described in § 227-15, including adequate lot area, proper unit spacing, and well-lit, clearly marked driveways. If conditions at a camp appear to fall short of these standards—such as inadequate fencing, poor lighting, or overcrowded spacing—tenants may consider raising these concerns with Sloatsburg's local code enforcement or municipal authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing and zoning law can help residents understand what options may be available when camp conditions do not appear to meet the requirements of ch. 227.
