RV parking rules in Hopatcong Borough

Hopatcong Borough RV parking at a glance

Can I leave a trailer on a Hopatcong street overnight?

Section 231-3D(3) prohibits a truck, truck tractor, trailer or semitrailer on any Borough road, street or highway from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily. It excepts those designated as pickup trucks with a load capacity below 3,000 pounds. The named classes use N.J.S.A. 39:1-1 definitions.

Confirm the statutory class of a motorhome rather than assuming every RV is a truck or trailer. A pickup towing a trailer does not automatically extend the pickup exception to that trailer.

Is daytime parking allowed?

The nighttime restriction does not grant daytime permission. Section 231-3 separately applies no-parking street schedules, limited-duration locations and school-day restrictions. Signs, weather/emergency restrictions and other traffic rules can govern the actual place.

What about driveway storage or sleeping?

This traffic provision does not establish private-yard storage rights or permission to sleep in an RV. Confirm residential storage, guest use and utility connections separately with Borough zoning staff. It is not a general loading or overnight-camping permit.

What still needs confirmation?

Hopatcong Borough, Sussex County, New Jersey only. Sources read November 6, 2026. Section 231-3D(3) added June 5, 1975; other street schedules and later ordinances must be confirmed. A complete current-edition and later-ordinance determination is not established. Confirm parcel-specific requirements before parking.

Private covenants, lease terms, easements, floodplain requirements and individual approvals may add restrictions. A storage provision is not a general camping, repair or utility-installation permit. Ask zoning staff about the actual parcel and Police about public-road restrictions.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask Hopatcong Borough zoning staff about the vehicle, intended use, legal yard lines, zoning district and later ordinances. Ask Police before street parking. Do not rely on an RV reservation or mailing address to establish municipal jurisdiction.
