Jurisdiction and research scope
Township of Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey only, not Marlborough, Missouri or another Marlboro/Marlborough jurisdiction. A mailing address alone does not establish Township jurisdiction. Reviewed November 6, 2026 using the publisher Code through December 18, 2025 and the current adopted New Laws list. The ordinary storage route is outdoor, unoccupied storage on a single-family property; parcel zoning, required-yard lines, special approvals and later local changes remain address-specific.

Can I store an RV at my Marlboro Township home?
Section 220-35D(23) permits outdoor storage of an unoccupied travel trailer, camper or small boat on a single-family property if all its conditions are met. That is a storage permission, not a general approval for every brief parking stop, repair activity or occupied use. A driveway does not automatically qualify merely because it is on private property.
The camper definition includes a self-propelled vehicle designed for temporary travel or recreation living, as well as a structure designed to attach to another vehicle. Confirm the local classification rather than assuming every trailer or large vehicle is covered.
Can the RV be in a driveway or front yard?
No part of the storage position may be in a required front yard, and it must be at least 10 feet from every side and rear lot line. Required front-yard depth equals the required front setback. The broader front-yard definition covers the space between the street line and the closest building or structure; the storage rule specifically excludes the required portion.
A front driveway is not an automatic exception. Conversely, this provision should not be rewritten as a ban on every location visible from the street. Obtain the parcel’s setback and lot-line information. A lot abutting more than one street has a front yard along each street, so a corner-lot location described informally as a side yard may still involve a required front yard.
Is the storage length limit 25 feet or 30 feet?
The outdoor-storage limit is 25 feet long and 8 feet wide. The general travel-trailer definition allows an outside body up to 30 feet long and 8 feet wide, but that definition does not override the more restrictive storage subsection. A 28-foot travel trailer may fit the equipment definition and still exceed the ordinary outdoor-storage allowance.
Give the Township the actual dimensions and ask how any hitch, projection or unusual configuration is measured if that changes the outcome. The examined text does not supply a separate measurement exception.
How many RVs and boats may be stored outside?
The maximum is one travel trailer or camper, plus one small boat at a single-family residence. It is not one travel trailer plus a separate camper plus a boat. Count existing outdoor equipment before adding another unit. Storage is also excluded if the equipment’s condition causes a public nuisance.
Can guests sleep in a parked camper?
Ordinary guest sleeping is prohibited by § 220-188. It bars the listed trailers, mobile homes, travel trailers and campers from dwelling use or sleeping quarters for one or more people, as well as permanent business use. A short visit or compliant storage position is not a visitor-sleeping exception.
The section has limited temporary routes: replacement residency for a damaged dwelling, and a construction office on a site during active construction. A Building Inspector permit must specify the interval. A construction-office permit is not automatically a sleeping permit. Ask the Building Inspector about the exact use and permit conditions before relying on either exception.
Do storage rules cover street parking, loading or utilities?
No general Marlboro RV street-parking duration or loading grace period is established by these provisions. Section 220-188 says it should not be construed to prohibit private parking or storage, but that sentence does not erase the storage conditions or supply a street rule.
Water, sewer and electrical hookups, maintenance work and other activities need their own answer. The storage text neither grants utility approval nor supplies a general ban on every hookup. Keep the vehicle-storage decision separate from sleeping and installation permissions.
What should I confirm before storing the RV?
Ask Marlboro Township zoning staff about the parcel’s single-family status, required front yards, actual side/rear lot lines, dimensions, outdoor equipment count and any special approvals. For sleeping or a damaged-dwelling situation, ask the Building Inspector about § 220-188 and the required temporary permit. HOA, deed and lease restrictions may be stricter than the municipal storage rule.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Marlboro Township zoning staff for an address-specific answer under § 220-35D(23). Contact the Building Inspector about the exact temporary use, permit interval and conditions under § 220-188. Bring a parcel sketch and the equipment dimensions.
Use the Marlboro Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.

- Marlboro Township § 220-35D(23): trailer and boat storage
Outdoor storage of an unoccupied travel trailer, camper or small boat on single-family properties: outside required front yards, at least 10 feet from side/rear lot lines, maximum 25 feet long and 8 feet wide, one trailer/camper plus one small boat, and no public-nuisance condition.
- Marlboro Township § 220-188: trailers, sleeping and temporary permits
Prohibits dwelling, sleeping quarters and permanent business use in the listed trailers/campers. Temporary damaged-dwelling replacement or an on-site construction office during active construction requires a Building Inspector permit for a specified interval. The section does not itself prohibit private parking/storage.
- Marlboro Township § 220-4: camper, travel trailer and front-yard definitions
Camper includes a self-propelled temporary-living vehicle and a vehicle-mounted structure. Travel-trailer definition allows a body up to 30 feet, but the separate outdoor-storage limit is 25 feet. Lots abutting multiple streets have a front yard along each.
