Campground and RV park owners can more easily add spaces after the Cowlitz County commissioners Tuesday approved the updated code.
The commissioners also split the previous campground code, which combined planning and health regulations, into separate sections to clarify compliance and enforcement.

Health codes also apply to three other facilities within city limits, Season Long, environmental health manager, said during a January Board of Health meeting. Most are a mix of tents and RV sites, he said.
