D. The tax levied by this section does not apply to campground spaces furnished by the federal government. In the event property owned by the federal government is leased to a non-federal entity and the non-federal entity uses such property for the furnishing of camping or trailer spaces, (e.g., the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers leases property to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission ("AGFC") and the AGFC furnishes camping or trailer spaces), then tax must be collected by the non-federal entity on the gross receipts received by the non-federal entity for furnishing camping or trailer spaces.

E. Any charges for water, electrical, or sewer hookups are an integral part of the charge for the use of the space and are included in the amount subject to tax.
