Camden RV parking at a glance

|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Only an appropriately screened side/rear parking area at least 10 feet from property lines. No lawns or undesignated parking; comply with approved development plans. |
| Street / loading | RV storage over seven days prohibited; shorter stays still subject to other restrictions. No separate loading exception established in section 870-195. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Human habitation prohibited while stored on a public street or lot. Storage permission does not authorize utilities or wastewater disposal. |
Screened side or rear yard storage
Travel trailers, campers, motorhomes, boat trailers and ATV or motorcycle trailers may be parked or stored only in a side or rear yard, at least 10 feet from the property line. The area must be relatively unexposed to neighboring properties and appropriately screened with landscaping or fencing. Vehicle dimensions are not included when determining maximum impervious coverage.
Use a designated parking area
Section 870-214 prohibits parking vehicles on lawns or other areas not designated for parking. Maintain all land-use approval conditions. In planned residential developments, use an area designated for parking on approved plans. Fencing, curb cuts and any work to create parking may need separate city approvals.
Street storage and sleeping
Street RV storage cannot exceed seven days. That cap does not waive posted parking restrictions or establish permission for a seven-day stay. No private RV may be used for human habitation while stored on a street or lot. Loading, maintenance, utilities and any use outside ordinary storage need separate confirmation.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Camden Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Camden parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
