Full Breakdown

Castle Rock Municipal Code 10.16.010.B makes it unlawful to park any recreational vehicle longer than 72 consecutive hours in any seven-day period on a public right-of-way adjacent to residentially-zoned property. "Recreational vehicle" includes motor homes, camper coaches, camper trailers, trailer coaches, watercraft, snowmobiles, and off-highway vehicles. A vehicle violates if it has not moved outside a 1,000-foot radius during the 72 hours. On private property, the Town's residential rules require boats, trailers, and RVs to park on a driveway, parking lot, or other improved surface, not on grass or dirt.

Violations & Fines

A violation of Chapter 10.16 is a traffic infraction: minimum fine $100 first offense, $250 second offense, $500 third within any 12 months (CRMC 10.16.030).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my RV on the street if I move it a few feet?
No. Relocating the RV within a 1,000-foot radius does not restart the 72-hour clock; it must leave the 1,000-foot radius (CRMC 10.16.010.B-C).
Where can I park a boat on my own lot?
On a driveway, parking lot, or other improved surface. The Town prohibits parking boats, trailers, and RVs on grass or dirt on residential property.
