Millcreek, PA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 145-37 of the Millcreek Township Code, amended 6-25-2024 by Ord. No. 2024-6, sets the storage rules for recreational vehicles and equipment. The definition reaches RV homes, travel trailers, camping vehicles and trailers, pickup coaches, motorized homes, boats and boat trailers, and associated equipment, and the list is not limited to those items.

Three conditions apply. First, subsection A(1) says parked or stored recreational vehicles or associated equipment cannot be occupied or used for living or housekeeping purposes at any time. Second, under A(2), parking or storage is limited to the interior of garages or other available on-lot accessory structures, driveways, or the portion of the property located behind the front plane of the principal structure. A boat on a trailer on the grass in front of the house therefore does not qualify, while the driveway does. Third, A(3) says a recreational vehicle can never be parked or stored on a lot without a principal structure, which rules out leaving a camper on a vacant lot.

Subsection B covers a related category: mobile or manufactured homes can be parked, stored and occupied only in Manufactured Home Parks. Where an accessory structure houses the vehicle, § 145-27 controls its permit, setbacks and 20-foot height cap in residential and mixed use districts. Commercial trucks and equipment fall under the separate overnight prohibition in § 145-34C, not this section. Occupied travel trailers and camping vehicles belong in campgrounds that meet the separate campground standards in Chapter 145.
