Eldon RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Residential guest use can qualify for seven days in any one-month period; unoccupied storage is separate. |
| yard | The guest exception requires a residential parking space or driveway, not an arbitrary yard position. |
| guest | Guests must visit on-site residents and meet the monthly total and other conditions. |
| street | Overnight camping or sleeping is prohibited on City streets, public rights-of-way and City-owned parking areas. |
| loading | The occupancy clause does not establish a separate loading allowance. |
| hookups | Owner-approved electric/water during the guest period only; no City sewer/waste connection or discharge. |
| uncertainty | Lawful parks, campgrounds and safe parking facilities have separate requirements. |
Start with the private-property rule
Section 400.325 generally prohibits RV living or sleeping on private property outside a lawfully operated mobile home park, travel trailer park, campground or safe parking facility. The separate residential guest exception is narrow.
A guest exception, not a second home
The exception is for guests of on-site residents only. The RV must use a residential parking space or driveway; it does not establish a right to live independently in a yard.
Count every day in the month
Guest housing may last no more than seven days in any one-month period. Count earlier visits as well as the proposed stay. Moving away and returning does not create a fresh seven-day entitlement within that period.
Keep assigned spaces available
The RV must not prevent residents of other dwellings on the site from using their assigned parking spaces. Check the full parked footprint and access path, not only whether the RV physically fits.
Water, electricity and sewer differ
Property-owner-authorized electric and water connections are allowed during the seven-day period. The clause does not allow an RV connection to Eldon sewer or waste systems, or discharge of waste or sewage into the City sewage system.
Public overnight camping is prohibited
The code separately prohibits vehicle parking for overnight camping or sleeping on City streets, public rights-of-way and City-owned parking areas. The residential guest exception does not extend to the curb.
Unoccupied storage needs another check
These occupancy rules do not answer every driveway storage, yard parking, loading or repair question. The checker leaves those routes unresolved rather than treating silence as permission.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Eldon planning or code enforcement to confirm the exact address, proposed use and any additional site-specific restrictions. Refer to the sections linked below.
Use the Eldon parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
