RV parking rules in Camp Hill Borough

Camp Hill Borough RV parking at a glance

Can I temporarily park an RV at home in Camp Hill?

Section 200-83B concerns unenclosed Class I and II vehicles, including towable utility/cargo trailers, registered to the lot owner or occupant. On residential lots in residential or mixed-use districts, temporary parking is limited to 72 consecutive hours in a seven-day period and vehicles must be at least one foot from every lot line. Current plates and inspection stickers are required when applicable.

A trailer must be accessory to the principal residential use. Chapter 154 property-maintenance and Chapter 190 traffic requirements also apply. This is a private-lot rule, not street permission.

What changes for long-term RV storage?

On those residential lots, outdoor long-term storage is limited to one vehicle per half-acre of lot area, up to two vehicles. It cannot be between the principal building and public street, excluding alleys, or within a required front setback. Provide at least 80% opaque screening along abutting side/rear lot lines, excluding alleys, under Article VIII.

Storage must meet the underlying accessory-building yard and setback standards. The area must drain properly and use a durable dustless surface such as concrete or bituminous concrete, unless an alternative stormwater-compatible material/design is approved by the Borough Engineer. Required off-street parking cannot be displaced.

Keep vegetation trimmed, remove debris, maintain applicable current plates/inspection, keep the vehicle operable and prevent fuel or lubricant leakage. All other zoning standards remain in force.

What are Class I and Class II RVs?

Class I is no more than 200 square feet at the outermost edges and no taller than ten feet to the main body. Class II exceeds either threshold. Height excludes listed accessories such as air conditioners, vents and antennas but includes the highest flybridge or boat console. The parking/storage rule covers both classes; Class I does not mean exemption.

Can I use the street or sleep in the RV?

Section 200-83B does not grant street parking, guest sleeping, ongoing dwelling use or hookups. Ask police about the actual street and zoning staff about occupancy. Required off-street facilities also have use limits in §200-84; a commercial parking lot is not automatically an overnight RV site.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask Camp Hill Borough zoning staff to confirm the parcel, zoning district, legal yard lines and any later ordinances. Ask police about the exact street, posted signs and temporary restrictions. Check HOA, lease and deed restrictions separately.

Use the Camp Hill Borough parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
