RV Parking Rules in Colorado — Denver, Colorado Springs & HOA Rules
Updated 2025
Colorado HOA Law — CCIOA
Colorado's Common Interest Ownership Act (C.R.S. § 38-33.3) provides procedural protections for HOA members but does not restrict what parking rules may be adopted. Colorado HOAs can prohibit RV storage in CC&Rs, and Front Range suburban master-planned communities (Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock, Broomfield, Erie) do so frequently.
Denver — 48-Hour Oversized Rule
Denver Municipal Code § 54-584 defines oversized vehicles as those over 22 feet long or over 7 feet tall. These vehicles may not park on residential streets more than 48 consecutive hours. Denver also prohibits oversized vehicles within 30 feet of intersections. Denver 311 handles complaints.
Colorado Springs and Other Front Range Cities
Colorado Springs, Aurora, Lakewood, and Arvada all enforce 72-hour limits and permit driveway RV storage under standard conditions. Mountain resort communities (Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge) may have seasonal restrictions more aggressive than standard city rules.
