RV parking rules in Glendive

Glendive RV parking at a glance

Vehicle camping is restricted citywide

Section 71.17 prohibits parking a motor vehicle or trailer for camping purposes inside city limits except in an authorized tourist park. A driveway, vacant lot or street does not become an authorized tourist park just because the owner agrees or the vehicle is legally parked.

The tourist-park time limit

The stated exception limits camping to 48 hours in any one 30-day period. Confirm the park authorization, how the rolling period applies and any separate approved use with the city before planning a longer stay. The rule should not be read as allowing 48 hours of camping anywhere in the city.

Storage, loading and utility arrangements

This camping provision does not determine unoccupied storage setbacks, driveway surfaces or all street parking limits. Loading does not create a camping exception. An authorized facility must separately establish its service arrangements; a parking allowance alone is not permission for electrical, water or sewer hookups.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask Glendive 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 Glendive parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
