The number of people in Oklahoma living in an RV, boat or van nearly doubled since 2020, exceeding 7,000 as of 2024, according to the U.S. Census American Community Survey. There is no statewide law governing RV residency, so outside city limits and absent county zoning rules, parking and living in an RV are allowed indefinitely. Oklahoma City permits short-term RV occupancy for guests for a maximum of 14 days per calendar year, prohibits utility hookups and compensation, bans cooking inside, and allows only one RV per residence on a hard surface 11 feet from the curb. Tulsa allows parking in a garage, back or side yard with three feet from the property line, or one RV in front perpendicular to the street at least 12 feet from the curb; rules are relaxed for up to 48 hours for loading or unloading.

A $10 fee applies for dump station use, and discount pass holders must present their card and photo ID at check-in.
