RV parking rules in Glassboro Borough

Glassboro Borough RV parking at a glance

Can I store an RV on my single-family lot?

Section 107-93J(1) permits outdoor storage of an unoccupied RV, motor home, travel trailer, camper or small boat on single-family properties under its conditions. Measure the full vehicle/trailer combination, including any trailer needed to carry it. The key threshold is 24 feet, not the body length alone.

What are the outdoor setbacks and screening rules?

For a unit or combination no longer than 24 feet: no front-yard storage, at least ten feet from each side/rear lot line, and screening from view by fencing, plantings, buildings or a combination.

For a unit or combination over 24 feet: a garage is one alternative. Outdoor storage requires enough lot size and dimensions for at least 100 feet from any side or rear property line, plus screening. The front-yard prohibition still matters. A normal driveway is not automatically a compliant outdoor position.

What other limits apply?

No travel trailer, camper or boat may remain in this storage longer than 12 consecutive months. That sentence does not separately name motor homes or RVs, so resolve any overlapping category rather than assuming a loophole. All vehicles stored under the section must be unoccupied, with utility connections only for vehicle maintenance.

A transport trailer cannot be left empty on the lot except for the limited seasonal period while a boat is in the water. A trailer with the boat or other permitted vehicle mounted is treated as the integral unit.

What about apartments or garages?

Storage in townhouse, apartment and other multifamily parking lots is prohibited unless the vehicle is in a garage or in a designated parking area additional to the dwelling units’ required off-street spaces. This is a separate route, not permission to use any spare stall. Confirm the approved designation, remaining placement conditions and site restrictions.

Can visitors sleep in the RV?

No occupancy is allowed under the storage route. Section 107-69.2 also bars dwelling/sleeping use of the listed trailers and campers. Its damaged-dwelling replacement route is not guest camping: residential temporary use is 90 days with one possible additional 90-day period, subject to code requirements. Construction/storage/sales-office routes have their own site-plan and temporary-permit conditions.

What still needs official confirmation?

Section 107-69.2 also references accessory-building yard requirements for trailer/camper storage. Confirm how that cross-reference applies alongside the specific RV rules and your district. Street parking, loading, repair operations, floodplain restrictions, hookups beyond vehicle maintenance and private covenants require separate determinations.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask municipal zoning staff about your exact parcel, vehicle classification, proposed use and later ordinances. Ask Police about street restrictions. Confirm private covenants and utility approvals separately.
