Morris County sets no RV or boat parking rule. Where you may keep a recreational vehicle, camper, or boat is decided by your municipality's zoning ordinance. Many Morris towns, like Parsippany-Troy Hills, bar RV and boat storage in front yards.
New Jersey zoning is municipal home rule under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D); the county does not zone residential lots. Each of Morris County's 39 municipalities writes its own rules on storing trailers, campers, motorhomes, and boats. As an example, Parsippany-Troy Hills prohibits outdoor storage of trailers, recreation vehicles, and boats in the front yard in all residential districts, and restricts oversized vehicles in the street right-of-way. Rules vary widely town to town, so check your municipal zoning code or ask the local zoning officer before parking or storing an RV or boat.
Enforced by municipal zoning officers via a municipal court summons; fines and daily penalties are set by each town's ordinance.
