State law vs CCR's

Linda

Typically Covenants can be tougher/tighter than laws as one agreed to abide by the tightness/toughness.

It's really not clear what the question is. Notwithstanding the CCR snippet you included, I'm sure lots of forms of recreation are allowed, and others probably would not be. Unless the CCRs prohibit ball playing, frisbee tossing, badminton, and TV watching, then I'd imagine that recreational activities occur on lots in your community all of the time.

Just as your docs surely don't stop all forms of recreation, the state law surely does not allow all forms. Ferris wheels are recreational, but I doubt the state law you cited would force an HOA to allow one.

You specifically cite camping, do your CCRs prohibit camping? Do other rules and regulations of the community prohibit it?

You really need to give more detail about what the actual issue is if you want any reasonable help.

I think OP is hoping that the state law will redefine recreational so that the HOA will now have to allow camping.

Linda,

Based on the Bill's history, it may be awhile before the bill actually becomes law.

In skimming the text of the bill (which will likely change as it works its way through the process of becoming law), the definition used is only used to make the law applicable to most developments (see sections 121 and 412). It likely would not force a change to your CC&Rs (as you provided them).
