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

Hesperia Municipal Code § 16.20.090.G governs where residents keep RVs, trailers, and boats at home. It contains a surfacing rule for the front yard and a storage rule for the street.

The surfacing rule applies to "all recreational vehicle parking and/or storage areas located within the front yard." Each of those areas must be surfaced with either concrete, asphalt, gravel, or crushed rock. The list gives owners a choice between paved surfaces (concrete or asphalt) and loose ones (gravel or crushed rock), so a poured slab is not required. Bare dirt is not on the list and does not satisfy the code. Because the wording covers both parking and storage, the surface requirement applies whether the vehicle comes and goes or sits in place.

The subsection does not by itself grant a right to park in the front yard. It speaks of front-yard areas "as allowed by the development code, or other applicable adopted city ordinance, resolution, or code," so the location has to be allowed under those rules first. The surfacing standard then applies to whatever front-yard area is allowed.

The street rule is stated flatly: "Recreational vehicles shall not be stored in the public right-of-way." The subsection supplies its own definition of stored, which is being parked in the public right-of-way for more than seventy-two (72) hours. An RV at the curb for a shorter stretch is parked but not yet stored under that definition. Once it passes the 72-hour mark it is stored, and that is a code violation regardless of the surface underneath it, since the surfacing rule concerns the front yard and not the street.
