When can an RV be occupied in a Plymouth recreational campground?
Section 203-14A requires a Zoning Board of Appeals special permit for a recreational campground in the Rural Residential district and limits seasonal operation to April 15 through October 15, subject to additional permit conditions.
Section 203-14C(2)(b) expressly prohibits RV habitation after October 15 and before April 15. A reservation or a place to store the RV does not remove that restriction.
May an RV remain during the closed season?
Under §203-14C(2)(c), the Zoning Board of Appeals may allow unoccupied off-season RV storage in designated areas consistent with the special permit, after the required neighborhood and nuisance findings.
Vehicles must retain their wheels and mobility apparatus except during repairs. Site approval is separate from permission to use an individual space.
Does this allow camping at a home or state park?
No. These are recreational-campground provisions, not home-lot parking rules or state-park regulations. Confirm that the facility is governed by this section, its permit conditions and its operator’s rules.
A campground must also meet its development, sanitation, access, campsite and other approvals. This guide does not determine whether an unapproved site can become a campground.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the Town of Plymouth about the exact location, vehicle classification, current restrictions and any site-specific permit. Ask police separately about road restrictions. Check private covenants and owner permission separately.
Use the Plymouth parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
