Park Hills RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Private driveway camping is outside the public-place exception checked here; confirm zoning separately. |
| street | Public-place camping is prohibited unless the City-designated special-event exception applies. A parked RV is not automatically an authorized campsite. |
| guest | A covered public-place stay needs the actual City event designation, sanitation, peaceful conduct and applicable event conditions. |
| loading | The public-storage provision is distinct from camping; loading and ordinary unoccupied parking are not approved by this checker. |
| hookups | No utility connection or flood-hazard-site approval is evaluated. |
| uncertainty | An accessible parking designation or event attendance alone does not establish permission to camp at a particular location. |
Camping and parking are different questions
Chapter 239 defines camping to include habitation in camping facilities and use of camping paraphernalia. It includes RVs, motor vehicles and trailers among camping facilities. The checker evaluates a proposed camping use, not every ordinary vehicle stop.
A public place is broader than a park
The chapter’s public-place definition includes streets, sidewalks, rights-of-way and publicly owned parking lots or areas. Section 239.020 prohibits camping there unless Section 239.040 applies. Moving from a park to a public lot does not by itself avoid the camping rule.
The City must designate the event location
Section 239.040 allows the stated activities at a place designated by the City in connection with a special event. The provision mentions examples such as youth, school, sports, scouting, historical and community events. An event ticket or an owner’s guess is not the same as an actual City designation for camping.
Sanitation and neighbors remain part of the exception
Adequate rubbish receptacles, collection and sanitary facilities must be available and used. Camping must not unreasonably disturb nearby property owners or provoke disorderly conduct or a disturbance. The checker asks about these conditions separately so an event designation is not treated as unconditional approval.
Storage and accessible spaces are separate
Section 239.030 separately addresses storing or parking camping facilities in public places, including other code authorization. The October 2026 accessible-parking amendment concerns designating on-street spaces; it does not create an event-camping exception. This guide does not promise either ordinary parking or camping in those spaces.
Keep the result within its scope
Private-property camping, utility connections, flood-hazard placement and indefinite residence need separate review. Confirm the actual event boundaries, dates and conditions with City staff. A conditional result here applies only to the facts checked under Chapter 239.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Park Hills City staff to confirm the actual address, vehicle classification, zoning and any required approvals. Consult the official code and adopted-law index below.
