Mead Valley, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

County Ordinance 413, Section 1.18.1, governs RV and boat parking on public roads in the unincorporated county. It defines 'recreational vehicles' broadly to include boats, watercraft, off-road vehicles, utility trailers, motor homes, travel trailers, truck campers and camping trailers. The general rule is that no person may park or leave standing any recreational vehicle on a county highway within a residential district. The ordinance carves out a narrow exception: for not more than 48 hours, twice a month, an RV may be parked on a county highway where parking is otherwise allowed, but only when it is directly in front of the owner's residence for loading, unloading or cleaning, or in front of the residence of a host who has given permission. Section 1.18.2 also lets the Director of Transportation post a two-hour limit on RVs on non-residential county highways after an engineering study, enforceable only where signs are posted (Section 1.18.4). On private property, RV and boat storage is regulated by the Ordinance 348 zoning code rather than the parking ordinance, and Code Enforcement notes inoperable vehicles must be in an enclosed building. Properties inside the Eastvale Neighborhood Preservation Overlay Zone follow Article XIXh of Ordinance 348.
