RV parking rules in Greenland, NH

Greenland RV parking at a glance

How many RVs may be stored on a Greenland lot?

Section 3.7.3.2 preserves storage of no more than one recreational vehicle or camper trailer on a lot. That exception distinguishes these units from house trailers and mobile homes designed or adaptable for year-round occupancy. Confirm the actual equipment rather than its sales label.

Can a guest sleep in the stored RV?

The ordinary private-lot storage exception does not grant occupancy to the owner or another person. The same clause restricts installation, placement and storage for occupancy and other uses. Storing the vehicle between trips and using it for sleeping are separate plans.

What is the house-construction exception?

For good cause, the Select Board may issue a temporary occupancy permit to the owner constructing or reconstructing the owner’s house. It is limited to three months at one time and one year together. The checker leaves that route unresolved until the actual permit, dates and conditions are reviewed.

Do campground rules create a driveway camping allowance?

No. Section 3.7.2 addresses recreational camping areas, defined around accommodation of two or more camping parties. It requires a ZBA special exception, necessary agency approvals, compliance with other laws and protection of nearby residential enjoyment. It calls for seasonal closure November 1 to April 15 and no more than 14 consecutive days in a calendar month in a commercial campground.

What other site and vehicle distinctions matter?

The one-unit storage clause does not supply a universal yard setback or independently approve service connections. Camping-park road paving, lighting, unit areas and parking requirements are separate. Article VIII’s 400-square-foot RV definition is for floodplain management; this guide does not import it into the general storage exception.

Which source edition applies?

The official 2026 ordinance has a June 2026 revision footer and a March 10, 2026 amendment record. The complete storage/camping provisions and their historical amendment labels were read October 22, 2026. Rochester is a separate city and is not governed by this guide.

Who to ask about your setup

Ask the governing municipality about the exact address, vehicle, location, intended activity, prior use and any issued approval. Keep the written answer with its conditions.
