Jurisdiction and research scope
Willingboro Township, Burlington County, New Jersey only. This guide addresses defined camping and travel trailers, not every motorhome. Current §370-13E; the 2026-20 new-law entry concerns refuse carts, not this storage rule.

Willingboro Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Paved front-yard storage is mentioned separately; confirm its full applicable requirements. Rear storage needs a permit, defined trailer dimensions, setbacks, screening and parcel conditions. |
| Street / loading | Street parking is not established by the rear-yard storage provision. No general street-loading time allowance is established here. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Defined trailers parked or stored under the rear-yard route may not be used for sleeping or living. No electricity, water, gas or sewer connections for living or householding purposes. |
Confirm the trailer class first
The camping-trailer definition covers non-self-propelled folding equipment and limits it to 18 feet long, eight feet wide and nine feet high. A defined travel trailer may be up to 22 feet long with the same width and height limits. Do not apply this route automatically to a motorhome or an oversized unit.
Rear-yard permit and physical conditions
Rear storage requires a permit. Keep at least four feet from side and rear property lines, or 24 feet from the rear line on a reverse-frontage lot, and ten feet from adjacent living areas. Observe combined building and equipment lot coverage. Only one outdoor boat/trailer or camping/travel trailer is allowed on an occupied single-family property. Current registration and safe condition are required; the limited repairable-condition rule is not indefinite storage permission.
Screening, eligibility and occupied use
Within 70 feet of a neighboring residential structure, provide a living screen at least four feet high. Access may not use rear or side reverse planting areas. On a corner lot, rear storage may not extend beyond the dwelling side nearest the street. Keep the area sanitary. The applicant must occupy the premises and own, lease or be authorized to use the equipment; changes in application facts must be reported within 15 days. No sleeping, living or living-purpose utility connections are allowed. Front/side placement and street parking require their own applicable rules.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Willingboro Township Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Willingboro Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
