RV & Boat Storage in Sacramento: What You Need to Know Before Parking

Owning an RV, camper, or boat opens the door to weekend escapes and off-grid adventures—but when you’re not on the road or water, where do you park it?

If you live in Sacramento, parking your RV or boat at home isn’t always legal—or practical. That’s where professional storage comes in. Here’s what Sacramento RV and boat owners need to know before parking their vehicles long-term.

Can You Park an RV or Boat at Home in Sacramento?

Before you pull into your driveway, check the fine print. Sacramento’s zoning laws and HOA rules often restrict large vehicle storage:

  • Sacramento city code limits street parking for RVs to 72 hours at a time
  • Many residential areas prohibit long-term storage of boats or trailers in driveways or side yards
  • Homeowners associations (HOAs) can issue fines for visible outdoor vehicle storage

Solution: A licensed storage facility gives you secure, compliant parking—without the risk of citations or complaints.

Why Choose Store Here’s RV & Boat Parking?

Not all storage is created equal. At Store Here Sacramento on Folsom Blvd, we offer uncovered parking spaces up to 10×48 feet—big enough for Class A motorhomes, boats on trailers, toy haulers, and work trailers.

How It Compares to Driveway Storage:

Feature Home Driveway Store Here Folsom Blvd
Size Flexibility Limited Up to 10×48 feet
Legal Compliance HOA/city restricted Fully compliant with zoning
Security Minimal 24/7 surveillance + gated access
Accessibility Depends on home Easy drive-up, daily gate access
Peace of Mind Low High—staff on-site, well-lit lot

No squeezing between houses. No angry neighbors. Just space to park and peace of mind.

Security Matters—Especially for Seasonal Storage

Whether you’re storing for the off-season or between trips, your vehicle is an investment. Here’s how we help protect it:

  • 24/7 video surveillance covering the lot
  • Keypad-controlled gate access to prevent unauthorized entry
  • Well-lit, fenced-in property
  • Regular staff walkthroughs and pest control

Our team is onsite Tuesday through Saturday and available to help with access, account support, or questions about storage prep.

How to Prep Your RV or Boat for Storage

Before you lock it up for the season, a little prep goes a long way. Follow these steps for a safe and clean return:

RV Storage Checklist:

  • Empty and clean all tanks (black, gray, freshwater)
  • Disconnect and remove batteries
  • Seal vents and windows to prevent pests
  • Cover tires to reduce UV damage
  • Consider using RV covers for extra weather protection

Boat Storage Checklist:

  • Drain the bilge, water tanks, and engine
  • Remove valuables, electronics, and safety gear
  • Add fuel stabilizer and run the engine briefly
  • Cover with a properly fitted tarp or shrink wrap

We also recommend checking your insurance coverage—many policies require specific precautions when storing off-site.
