Castle Rock RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Street | 72 consecutive hours in any seven-day period for the specified residential-adjacent RV route; vehicle categories and movements matter. |
| Driveway | Improved surface, operable vehicle and valid tags; confirm exact layout. |
| Yard | Grass/dirt excluded; an improved surface still needs applicable zoning confirmation. |
| Guest | Parking provisions do not establish sleeping, residence or hookups approval. |
| Loading | Actual loading/unloading or active commercial services has a separate exception. |
How long can a motorhome park near residential property?
Adopted Ordinance 2023-012, § 10.16.010(B) establishes the 72-consecutive-hour ceiling in any seven-day period for public rights-of-way adjacent to residentially zoned property. This is a location-specific rule, not an assurance that every space is available.
Identify the adjacent zoning and preserve the actual parking history. Shorter signs, access and vehicle restrictions still need checking.
Does moving around the block restart the time?
The ordinance’s movement provision uses a 1, 000-foot radius. It addresses both failing to move outside that radius during the 72-hour period and returning within the radius during that same period.
A small move does not establish a reset. For repeated or interrupted visits, obtain Police confirmation of the seven-day history rather than treating every arrival as a new allowance.
Is active loading treated differently?
Section 10.16.020 provides an exception during actual loading/unloading or active commercial services in the immediate area. Service means vehicle-related business activity such as deliveries and service calls.
Being ready for a future trip or leaving equipment unattended is not the same fact. The adopted redline deletes the former one-hour sentence; this guide does not carry that deleted sentence forward.
Do trailers and boats use the same route?
Section 10.16.010 includes recreational motorhomes, campers, travel equipment and watercraft in the RV definition, while subsection A separately names trailers and heavier vehicles. Those categories can overlap.
The ordinary timed checker route is limited to a confirmed motorhome not also classified as a restricted truck. Trailer, combination and unusual equipment cases need Police classification; actual loading remains a separate exception.
Can I store an RV at home?
The Town’s residential-property guidance requires valid license tags and operability. RVs, trailers and boats must use a driveway, parking lot or other improved surface; grass and dirt are excluded.
Those conditions do not establish every setback, access or approval requirement. Confirm the proposed footprint with Zoning before treating an improved area as approved RV storage.
Does parking allow guest sleeping or hookups?
Neither the street time provision nor the general home-storage guidance establishes occupied-RV or utility approval. This checker leaves sleeping, dwelling and connected setups for a separate zoning/permit answer.
Provide the proposed use and connections along with the parking layout. A vehicle-storage answer should not be used as housing approval.
Who to contact for your setup
For roadway parking call Castle Rock Police at 303-663-6100. For a private-property layout call Zoning at 720-733-3557. Ask about the vehicle class, seven-day history, 1, 000-foot movement and the precise improved area.
Use the Castle Rock parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
