Calaveras County, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Calaveras County does not publish a stand-alone county-wide ordinance limiting where residents may store a recreational vehicle, boat or utility trailer on their own private rural property; such uses are addressed through Title 17 zoning and nuisance review on a case-by-case basis. On a County road or its shoulder, parking is controlled by the California Vehicle Code. CVC §22500 prohibits stopping or parking in front of a driveway, on a sidewalk, in a crosswalk, within an intersection, or in posted no-parking areas, which applies equally to RVs, boats and trailers. Calaveras County Public Works' snow-season guidance is explicit that 'all personal property must be removed from the right-of-way for successful snowplow operations,' listing 'boat trailers' among items that block plows. The county's Abandoned Vehicle Abatement program notes that 'RV's, Trailers, and Vessels may be eligible on a case-by-case basis' for abatement if abandoned and inoperable. Residents in snow areas (Arnold, Avery, Dorrington, Bear Valley) should keep RVs, boats and trailers off the road and out of the right-of-way, which extends roughly 5 to 10 feet beyond the pavement edge.
