Summary

Texas counties can't zone, so no county rule governs RVs or boats parked at your home in unincorporated Cameron County; your city sets that. But Cameron County's coastal RV parks (Isla Blanca, Andy Bowie) strictly limit vehicles per space.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Cameron County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Campers will only be allowed one R.V. and two vehicles, including trailers and/or golf carts... Only two motor vehicle passes per daily rental space will be issued... Any vehicle encroaching on any other space shall be moved by Camper or it will be towed at camper's expense.

Full Breakdown

Unincorporated Cameron County has no zoning, so it imposes no residential RV/boat-parking limit; incorporated cities (Brownsville, Harlingen, South Padre Island) regulate that inside their limits. Where the county does set enforceable rules is its own beach RV parks. The Park Space Agreement caps each site at one RV plus two vehicles (trailers or golf carts count), issues only two motor-vehicle passes per daily rental space, and tows any vehicle that encroaches on a neighboring space at the owner's expense.

Violations & Fines

In county parks, wrongly parked or encroaching RVs and vehicles are towed immediately at the owner's expense; call Cameron County Sheriff Dispatch (956) 544-0860 after hours.
