Baldwin Park, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Baldwin Park regulates recreational-vehicle storage primarily through its Zoning Code rather than a stand-alone RV ordinance. Under Zoning Code Section 153.040.080(A) (Vehicle Storage and Repair), no person may store or park any boat, trailer, camper shell or recreational vehicle, or parts thereof, on any required front yard area of an R-1-7,500 or R-1 zoned lot. The same RV, boat, trailer or camper shell may be stored or parked on a pervious surface within a side yard area, but only if a lawfully installed, permanently maintained 6-foot wall or fence screens it from abutting property and the public right-of-way. A property owner may obtain a temporary use permit (under Subchapter 153.210) allowing an RV to be parked in a front yard once a year per property for a period not exceeding 60 days. On public streets, the Traffic Code (Section 72.21) treats housecars and campers like other special-use vehicles: no person shall park or leave standing any housecar or camper on any city street for more than two hours, though a resident may apply to the police chief for a parking permit where on-site parking is insufficient. There is no separate citywide ordinance that bans RVs overnight beyond this two-hour street rule; the California Vehicle Code 72-hour rule (CVC 22651(k)) governs longer-term street storage.
