Jurisdiction and research scope
Kimberling City municipal limits only, not all Stone County or Table Rock Lake addresses. This guide checks residential RV occupancy under adopted Ordinance 568; it does not approve a campground, vacant lot or utility connection.

Kimberling City RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Residential RV storage has placement, surface, vehicle-count and condition requirements; ownership alone is not approval. |
| yard | Side and rear storage must meet the adopted parking-envelope rules as well as RV setbacks. |
| guest | Only non-paying guests at a residence may use one RV for temporary sleeping, limited to 14 days in a rolling 12-month period and compliant placement. |
| street | These residential-site provisions do not establish street parking permission. |
| loading | The reviewed residential rule gives no general loading waiver of placement or occupancy conditions. |
| hookups | The guest time ceiling does not authorize utility connections. |
| uncertainty | Use the adopted September 2026 zoning replacement, not the older codified chapter alone. |
A guest exception, not residential RV living
Section 400.516(E)(3) bars living, sleeping or housekeeping in a stored residential RV except for the narrow visitor provision. Subsection(E)(4) covers non-paying guests at a residence using one RV for temporary sleeping only, for no more than fourteen days in a rolling twelve-month period. A resident moving into an RV or a paying visitor is not this exception.
Count the full rolling twelve-month period
Do not reset the guest total at a new calendar year or treat every visit as a fresh fourteen-day allowance. The checker flags a total over fourteen and leaves a shorter stay unapproved until the placement and other conditions are confirmed.
The site must qualify
The storage provision addresses a lot with a residential structure in a residential district, or a commonly owned fractional lot immediately adjacent to it. It does not create a general vacant-lot camping entitlement. Commercial parking or storage is not authorized by this residential accessory-use provision.
Side and rear yards need more than spare space
The RV provision requires a ten-foot side-lot-line setback for side-yard parking and rear placement behind the required front setback. The adopted Section 400.617 also requires designated improved parking envelopes in the specified residential districts. Grass or bare-earth envelopes are not allowed. Confirm the district, envelope dimensions, easements and exact placement with the City.
Front storage is constrained
The RV provision permits up to two RVs outside in the required front setback only on a prepared driveway or adjacent pad and only under listed conditions, including unavailable side or rear access, no possible inside parking, perpendicular orientation, five-foot property-line clearance, unobstructed traffic views and no sidewalk or right-of-way encroachment. Separate parking rules remain applicable.
Condition, number and current law matter
The total is limited to two recreational vehicles per residential structure on the qualifying lot combination. Licensing, cleanliness, LPG-container safety, nuisance and overlapping vehicle-size restrictions also matter. Ordinance 568 adopted September 1, 2026 replaces Chapter 400; the older online code edition is not the whole current rule. The checker deliberately does not issue a blanket storage approval.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask City zoning staff to confirm the municipal boundary, zoning district, residential structure and parking envelope before relying on a proposed RV arrangement.
Use the Kimberling City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
