On unincorporated residential property the county allows an RV to be stored/used up to 30 days per calendar year; longer use needs land-use approval. Trailers and boats may not be left standing on a county road unless attached to a towing vehicle.
Clackamas County has no numeric limit on parking a licensed, operable RV or boat trailer on your own private lot, but code enforcement treats prolonged RV occupancy as a land-use matter: RVs are allowed up to 30 days per calendar year, and longer use (such as an RV as a second dwelling under Oregon SB 1013) requires a Recreational Vehicle land-use permit. On the public road, ZDO/Code Ch. 7.01.020(C) bars a detached trailer from standing on any county highway. Cities like Oregon City, Lake Oswego and Happy Valley set their own driveway RV-storage limits, so confirm your address.
Code-enforcement complaint case; unattended trailer on a county road is a fine-carrying parking violation and may be towed under Ch. 7.01.080.
