Maple Grove, MN Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Maple Grove treats RVs, boats, campers and trailers mainly as a zoning and storage matter on private property and as a parking matter on the street. The city's zoning rules allow exterior storage in residential districts of up to two licensed and operable recreational vehicles or non-stationary pieces of recreational equipment, such as boats, snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles, plus any trailer used to transport them. Items must be licensed and operable to qualify for outdoor storage; most other materials must be kept inside a building. On public streets, recreational vehicles are subject to the same general parking rules as any vehicle: parking is prohibited on all city streets between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. year round, and no vehicle may park continuously for more than four hours. Because of the overnight ban, a guest's motor home cannot simply sit on the street overnight. The police department may issue a temporary parking exemption permit for a self-propelled recreational vehicle (fifth-wheel trailers, horse trailers, semi-trailers and other non-motorized trailers are excluded), generally limited to a maximum of two weeks per calendar year, with the permit displayed inside the vehicle and valid only within one block of the listed address.
