KCC §19-2.7
Camping without a permit in county parks
Read the official text at ecode360.com ↗If you are caught camping in a county park without a permit, a county employee can either evict you or sell you a one-night permit for $5. If you pay the $5, you avoid the usual penalties, but you must get a regular permit the next day if you want to stay longer.

Any person paying such fee shall not be subject to the penalties prescribed in Sec. 19-2.8 of this Article; provided, however, that in the event such person desires a permit for more than one (1) night, he or she shall obtain a camping permit pursuant to Sec. 19-2.4 of this Article on the day immediately following the issuance of a permit in accordance with this Section.
