A FEW THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT
CAMPING ON YOUR LOT

Sugar Springs is a unique home development community for a number of reasons: Great people, properties, amenities, lakes, tennis, golf and the list goes on. To be specific, there is one other amenity that is available at very few home development communities, the ability to camp on your private lot.

Camping on a lot is allowed in all the realms of Sugar Springs except Islanders and Highlander III (The Architectural and Environmental Control Committee recognizes all non-home lots as either a "camping" or "undeveloped" lot).

What does that mean for you?  If you are looking for a lot to buy, stop at the Property Owners Association (POA) office and tell them what you are thinking about doing. Inquire about the lot you are looking at before you buy and become familiar with the rules & regulations in place to benefit all property owners at Sugar Springs (Bylaws and Covenants).  Check to make sure the dues are up to date, the realm is allowed camping, etc. Ask the POA office for a copy of the camping rules and regulations and ask them to explain “camping on a lot” in Sugar Springs. Many realtors have lots for sale and if you look closely, some are for sale by owner. 

Most empty lots can be used for camping. Here is what we’d recommend:  Electric is underground and is sure nice to have. You will need a sewer system hook up.  THIS IS A BUTMAN TOWNSHIP ORDINANCE. Finally, you might want to consider drilling a well.
