Regulations in Oregon
Oregon parking regulations:
- Brookings has a "city ordinance about illegal camping"[1]; the blotter reports suggest locals call the police on stealth campers.
- Clatsop county restricts people from living in their campers, trailers and other recreational vehicles to no more than 30 days out of a 90-day period.[2]
- Eugene prohibits "vehicles from parking within the same block for longer than three days. Vehicles must be moved at least two-blocks away."[3]
- Florence "requires those living in vehicles to move at least 600 feet every 72 hours.... shorter time limits in places like Old Town would remain in place."[4]
- Gearhart bans overnight parking of RVs on city streets.[5] Other reports say there is a 48hr limit.[6]
- McMinnville prohibits RVs and trailers from parking in city parks[7]
- Medford "bans all unauthorized sleeping or camping on public property anywhere in the city."[8] In 2023 the city added 500ft "buffer zones" around schools and homeless shelters, 50ft around waterways, and upgraded vehicle camping from a violation to a misdemeanor.[9]
- The Dalles requires a permit for parking overnight in city-owned lots.[10]
