Occasional guests at an occupied residence
§503.3 preserves an owner-occupant’s ability to host occasional overnight RV guests temporarily in the yard, without compensation and with adequate sanitary facilities. It does not establish a general residential RV dwelling entitlement.
Civic and youth camping needs permission
Temporary camping is otherwise barred by §503.3, subject to the local civic-organization/youth-group permission route through the Selectmen’s Office. Permission may carry public-health, safety and welfare conditions.
Campground approval and dimensional conditions
§503 requires Planning Board site-plan approval, at least 20 acres, marked sites of at least 2,500 square feet, 150-foot site separation from roads and abutters, at most six sites per eligible acre, and at least 50% undisturbed open space. Only camping-accessory buildings and one owner/caretaker dwelling are contemplated.
Who to contact for your setup
