Summary
Camden County bars soliciting of any kind on county park land unless the person holds a permit, grouping it with other commercial activity under Article 4, Section 3 of the Park Regulations. The rule reaches vendors, canvassers, and anyone offering paid services inside the park system, not on streets outside it.
(A) No person shall engage in any commercial enterprise, including but not limited to the offering of services, soliciting, selling of food or beverages on county park lands except as provided by permit. ... Any person found guilty by a Municipal Court Judge of violating any of the provisions of these Rules and Regulations shall be subject to a fine, as set forth on the attached Schedule, imprisonment for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days, or both, as shall be determined by said Municipal Court Judge, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:24-3.

Full Breakdown
Article 4, Section 3(A) of the Camden County Park Regulations reads: no person shall engage in any commercial enterprise, including but not limited to the offering of services, soliciting, selling of food or beverages on county park lands except as provided by permit. That single sentence puts soliciting on the same footing as running a food stand or offering a paid service inside a Camden County park: none of it is allowed without a permit from the Parks Department. The Regulations don't carve out a separate 'peddler' category or set a distinct fee schedule just for soliciting; it falls under the same commercial-activity permit that covers vending and service offers, and Article 3, Section 1's general permit conditions apply, meaning the County can revoke the permit for any violation of the Regulations or New Jersey law and keep any money already paid.
A. 40:24-3. This rule reaches only Camden County park property; it has no bearing on door-to-door soliciting on residential streets, which New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law leaves to each of the county's municipalities to regulate on their own.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting in a Camden County park without a permit falls under the general Article 6, Section 1 penalty: conviction in municipal court for violating the Park Regulations brings a fine plus up to ninety days in jail, under N.J.S.A. 40:24-3, with each day of continued violation counted separately.
