(1) A special event campground may be licensed by the local regulatory authority for a single event that takes place at a single venue for 14 days or less. (2) The operator of a special event campground must submit a complete plan review application to the regulatory authority at least 30 days prior to opening and must receive approval from the regulatory authority before opening. (3) The application must include a site plan showing: (a) the area that will be used for camping; (b) the location of the event; (c) an estimate of the number of people to be accommodated; (d) the maximum number of people that can be accommodated; (e) the number of toilets, handwashing, and bathing facilities to be provided and plans for servicing and maintenance; (f) the water supply source and distribution method; and (g) the method of handling solid and liquid waste. (4) Water must be supplied by a public water supply, licensed water hauler, bottled water, or alternative system approved by the local regulatory authority in compliance with state and local regulations. (5) Wastewater treatment systems must meet the requirements of ARM 37.111.1209 . (6) The licensee must ensure solid waste requirements under ARM 37.111.1218 are met. (7) The operator must comply with all components of the approved plan. No modifications to the plan are allowed without regulatory authority approval.
Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.1224 establishes a licensing framework for temporary campgrounds set up around a single event at one venue, capped at 14 days. Before such a campground can open, the operator must submit a detailed site plan to the local regulatory authority at least 30 days in advance and receive formal approval. The rule specifies requirements for water supply, wastewater treatment, solid waste handling, and sanitation facilities, and it prohibits any changes to the approved plan without the regulatory authority's sign-off.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of special event campgrounds under Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.1224 generally prepare and submit a comprehensive site plan to the local regulatory authority no later than 30 days before the planned opening date. A compliant application addresses the camping area layout, estimated and maximum attendance, toilet and handwashing counts, water sourcing, and waste management methods. Once approved, operators adhere strictly to the submitted plan, seeking regulatory authority approval before making any modifications, and ensure that water supply, wastewater, and solid waste systems each meet the cross-referenced ARM standards.

Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.1224 is primarily directed at campground operators and the local regulatory authority rather than individual campers, but it does establish baseline health and sanitation protections that attendees of special event campgrounds can expect. The rule requires that approved plans for toilets, handwashing stations, water supply, and waste disposal be in place before the campground opens. Individuals who believe a special event campground is operating without proper approval or is not following its approved plan may contact the local regulatory authority, or reach out to a tenant- or consumer-rights organization for guidance on available options.
