RV and camper storage on residential property in Lakewood is subject to city zoning standards. Long-term RV habitation on private property requires compliance with Pierce County standards (120-day limit without approval). Street parking of RVs is restricted.
Lakewood's zoning code permits RVs, boats, and trailers to be parked on residential properties in city limits provided they are on an improved surface (concrete, asphalt, or gravel), maintained in reasonable condition, and carry current registration. Street parking of RVs and boats is allowed for loading/unloading (up to 72 hours) but long-term street storage is prohibited. RVs may not be used as dwelling units unless the property has a valid temporary use permit. Setback requirements may apply: vehicles typically must not encroach on front yard setbacks.
Violations result in a notice to comply with a 14-day deadline. Failure to comply carries fines of $50–$200 per day. Abandoned or derelict vehicles may be towed at the owner's expense.
