St. Peters, MO Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

St. Peters' Board of Aldermen regulates recreational vehicle, boat, camper and trailer parking under Section 365.070(A)(4) of the Municipal Code, part of Chapter 365, Stopping, Standing or Parking Restricted or Prohibited On Certain Streets. On a residential lot, no more than one piece of recreational equipment, vehicle or trailer, such as an RV, pickup camper, boat or trailer, is allowed, and it cannot exceed 22 feet in length or 8 feet in width. That single unit must be parked behind all front building lines, kept out of the front yard, and set on a paved parking surface built of concrete, asphalt, brick or interlocking pavers under Subsection (A)(1)'s general parking requirements; any stored equipment or materials on the vehicle must be screened from public view, ladders excepted.

Trailers may sit temporarily on a residential driveway up to ten calendar days per calendar year, and RVs, campers and recreational trailers get another ten days per year for seasonal preparation, with utility hookups for that prep work capped at two days. On streets or adjacent rights-of-way, recreational vehicles, equipment and trailers may stop only to load or unload, for no more than four hours total in any 24-hour period, and can never block emergency vehicle access. None of these units may carry fixed electric, water, gas or sewer connections, and none may be used for living or housekeeping purposes while parked.

Owners who need more than the residential cap can seek enclosed storage in a fully enclosed garage under Subsection (B), though the Chief of Police or a designee may still bar it if it disrupts the neighborhood through noise, fumes or traffic hazards. Public vehicles such as fire, police or ambulance units are exempt under Subsection (C).
