A person may reserve an available campsite at any state park, recreation area, or lakeside use area for up to fourteen consecutive nights. After the person has occupied the campsite for fourteen consecutive nights, the person shall remove the person's camper unit from the state park, recreational area, or lake side use area, by check-out time the next day, for at least one night, before reserving that site, or another site, at that location.
