Jurisdiction and research scope
Cambria private RV storage distinguishes side/rear yards with a written-neighbor exception, conditional driveway placement and a fourteen-day annual sleeping limit. These selected checks do not supply complete parking or accommodation permission.

Cambria RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Side and rear yard storage has a written-permission distinction | Section 485-97B names both side and rear yards, ordinarily at least five feet from the lot line. Written permission from the adjacent property owner is an express exception. The checker requires confirmation that no such permission is relied upon before using the ordinary five-foot prohibition; documents and other requirements still need review. |
| Driveway storage depends on several facts | Section 485-97C specifies a hard-surfaced or well-drained gravel driveway, unavailable side/rear space or reasonable access, no possible inside parking and perpendicular placement to the front curb. Corner lots are always deemed to have reasonable rear-yard access, and a fence is not necessarily an access barrier. These are cumulative conditions, not a blanket driveway permission. |
| Two different boundaries protect the street edge | Section 485-97D places the RV body at least fifteen feet from any curb face. Subsection E prohibits any part projecting over the sidewalk or public right-of-way. Neither is satisfied merely by meeting a five-foot neighboring lot-line margin. |
| Resident ownership and appropriate contents still apply | Section 485-97H requires the stored unit to belong to the resident whose property stores it. F(3) limits stored items to those part of the unit or essential for immediate use, rather than unrelated household goods, materials or equipment. |
Match the village, district and unit definition
This guide concerns Cambria Village, Wisconsin, not a namesake municipality. Sections 485-96 and 485-108 define the covered RV and yard terms. Confirm the actual classification and residential or commercial district rather than substituting a generic motor-vehicle rule.
Side and rear yard storage has a written-permission distinction
Section 485-97B names both side and rear yards, ordinarily at least five feet from the lot line. Written permission from the adjacent property owner is an express exception.

Driveway storage depends on several facts
Section 485-97C specifies a hard-surfaced or well-drained gravel driveway, unavailable side/rear space or reasonable access, no possible inside parking and perpendicular placement to the front curb. Corner lots are always deemed to have reasonable rear-yard access, and a fence is not necessarily an access barrier. These are cumulative conditions, not a blanket driveway permission.

Section 485-97D places the RV body at least fifteen feet from any curb face. Subsection E prohibits any part projecting over the sidewalk or public right-of-way. Neither is satisfied merely by meeting a five-foot neighboring lot-line margin.
Resident ownership and appropriate contents still apply
Section 485-97H requires the stored unit to belong to the resident whose property stores it. F(3) limits stored items to those part of the unit or essential for immediate use, rather than unrelated household goods, materials or equipment.
Fourteen sleeping days do not authorize cooking or permanent living
Section 485-97F(1) restricts dwelling use but makes an overnight sleeping exception of no more than fourteen days per calendar year. Cooking is not permitted under this provision. The checker flags an exceeded limit while leaving full accommodation eligibility unresolved; fourteen days is not a recurring monthly allowance.
Permanent connections differ from temporary electricity and loading
Section 485-97F(2) prohibits permanent sewer, water and electricity connections while separately allowing temporary electricity for charging and other purposes. G permits parking anywhere during active loading or unloading with necessary electricity or propane. That preparation exception is excluded before the ordinary outdoor placement rules are applied.
Enclosed storage and public streets are different routes
Section 485-97A addresses storage inside a conforming enclosed structure. The selected outdoor checker does not apply outdoor margin questions to an enclosed unit. Public streets are outside this private-property article and require separate traffic, sign and permission review.
The current later-law listing and enacted original were reviewed
The official newer-law listing contains one October 12, 2026 enactment governing nonmotorized play vehicles and low-speed personal electric vehicles in Chapter 173. Its full original was reviewed; it does not amend the selected Chapter 485 RV storage conditions. No unsupported effective date or overall zoning clearance is inferred.
