Camarillo, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

035 governs recreational and oversized vehicles in every residential zone. 030. If the side or rear yard cannot reasonably fit the vehicle, it may go in the front setback instead, but a corner lot is presumed to have reasonable rear-yard access unless the grade difference is three feet or more. Wherever it is parked, the vehicle body must sit at least thirteen feet back from the curb face and be oriented roughly perpendicular to it, and no part of it may hang over the sidewalk or public right-of-way.

The parking is strictly for storage: the vehicle cannot be used for dwelling purposes except for a maximum of fourteen days of overnight sleeping in any twelve-month period, cannot be permanently hooked to sewer, water or electric lines (temporary battery charging is fine), and cannot be used to store outside goods or equipment. A separate forty-eight-hour allowance lets an RV, boat or trailer sit in the driveway purely for loading or unloading without meeting the other siting rules, as long as it does not overhang the right-of-way.

Anything stored seventy-two hours or longer cannot block a neighbor's sightline to the public right-of-way; the city can order relocation or removal if it finds a safety hazard. The vehicle must belong to the resident or a guest of the resident, and where multiple units are stored on one property, each must independently satisfy every requirement. Commercial vehicles with three or more axles, defined as oversized vehicles, cannot stop, stand or park in a residential zone at all unless the vehicle is there to perform necessary work or service on site.
