Ocean City RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | The cited rule does not establish private-driveway storage permission. Confirm zoning, setbacks, surface, screening and parcel-specific requirements. |
| Street / loading | Baltimore Ave prohibited; May 1–Oct 31 other streets require applicable permit for covered vehicles. Loading is separate from storage; no additional loading allowance is established here. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Parking permits do not authorize sleeping; West Ocean City Park-n-Ride expressly prohibits vehicle sleeping. Utility connections and service permits require separate confirmation. |
The local rule
Current town guidance prohibits trailers and oversized vehicles on Baltimore Avenue at all times. From May 1 through October 31 they are prohibited on other streets/lots without a permit, with listed exceptions for the 100th Street lot and West Ocean City Park-n-Ride. The page defines oversized as over 21 feet 2 inches long and/or 6 feet 8 inches wide; confirm exact-boundary measurements with the town.
Conditions and exceptions
The 100th Street municipal lot accepts oversized vehicles and trailers, first come, first served; payment does not guarantee a space. Event permits are street-only, not for that lot or Baltimore Avenue.
Sleeping, utilities and other uses
The West Ocean City Park-n-Ride is outside town and has its own rules: no oversized/trailer overnight parking 3–6 a.m., and no vehicle sleeping. Do not mistake its daytime parking for an overnight campground. Private property and other occupancy rules require separate confirmation.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Ocean City Planning, Code Enforcement or the road authority to confirm the actual parcel or street, vehicle class, duration and intended use. Check later amendments and required permits. HOA restrictions, leases and easements remain separate. Start with the official source.
Use the Ocean City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
