The fit check

Will your rig fit the lot?

Choose the rig you plan to keep. Every kind wants something else from the ground. Lengths are typical, so add the hitch and read your own rig's papers.

Typical lengthAbout 18 to 35 feet

Check these on the lot

  • No street spot. The town does not let a trailer sit on any street or public lot. Plan on a spot of your own.
  • The drive. A new single-family drive must be 16 to 24 feet wide at the street. Check that the trailer and the truck swing in.
  • The slope. The town caps a drive at a 12 percent slope. A steep drive is hard to back into on ice.

Typical lengthAbout 25 to 40 feet

Check these on the lot

  • Past the limit. The town bars any vehicle over 26 feet long or 8 feet tall from parking on its roads. Plan to keep it on the lot, not on a town road.
  • Overhead. The front cap rides tall. Look up at branches, eaves and wires before you back in.
  • The pad. A fifth wheel puts weight on small jacks. Frost goes 48 inches deep here, so a firm base lasts longer.

Typical lengthAbout 25 to 45 feet

Check these on the lot

  • Height. Utah allows a vehicle 14 feet tall on its roads. The town's own limit for parking on a town road is 8 feet tall.
  • The climb. SR-143 rises steeply from Parowan. Check your brakes and your tow rating before you come up.
  • Winter use. From November 1 to April 30 the town requires snow tires, studs or chains on a recreational vehicle.

Typical lengthAbout 10 to 24 feet

Check these on the lot

  • Two rigs. A sled trailer and a camper need two spots, or one long one. Both must stay off the street.
  • Trails close by. Snowmobile trails and UTV roads start near town, so the toys can leave from your lot.
  • Quiet hours. The town bars running an off-highway vehicle between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Sizes here are typical. Read your own rig's papers for its true length and height.

The local read

What RV parking means in Brian Head

In shortThis page lists Brian Head homes with room to keep an RV, a boat or a sled trailer on the lot. The town keeps trailers off its streets and public lots, so the rig has to fit on your own ground.

Brian Head is a town of condos and cabins. By the Census count, about half of the homes sit in buildings of 20 or more units, and a condo comes without a lot of its own. So for a rig, the question is the lot. I use the words this way: RV parking is an open spot on the lot, such as a pad, a wide drive or a side yard.

The trips start close. Cedar Breaks is about 10 minutes away in summer, Parowan is about 25 minutes down the canyon, and Cedar City is about 45. Snowmobile trails and UTV roads start near town. A spot at home where the sleds and the camper stay ready is worth a lot to a buyer here.

A listing that says RV parking can mean a concrete pad or a patch of dirt by a tree. I read the photos and the lot lines on each one before I send it to you.

The weather is the hard part. Town sits near 9,800 feet, and the weather station in town logs 255 freezing nights in a year. A firm pad holds up better than loose gravel, and the roof of any cover has to carry a heavy snow load.

One more thing before you shop. Town code sets limits on the size of a garage or covered bay, and it asks for a permit on every project. The rules section below has the numbers.

Two ways to keep a rig

On your lot

This page
  • A pad, a drive or a side yard that you own
  • The rig is steps from the door
  • Snow and sun hit it all year
  • Needs a lot with real room

In rental storage

Another way
  • The parking code names commercial rental storage as the other place for a trailer
  • Works when a lot has no room
  • A drive each trip, and a bill each month
  • Ask around before you count on a spot

Cold and the pad

What a ski-town winter asks of a pad

Out here the rig stays outside all winter, near 9,800 feet. This is what the sources show.

Deep snow, long season

A snow sensor at 10,040 feet, just south of town, shows snow on the ground peaking near 64 inches, in mid March to early April. The nearest NOAA snowfall average is about 87 inches a year, at the Bryce Canyon station, about 37 miles away and about 1,900 feet lower.

Freeze and thaw

The station in town records about 255 nights a year at or below freezing. The town designs for frost 48 inches deep, so loose gravel shifts. A firm base holds up better.

A roof must carry it

The town's design snow load is 250 pounds per square foot, and 295 above 9,800 feet. A carport or a shed roof for the rig has to meet it, and the town asks for a permit.

Winterize early

The last spring freeze usually lands near June 21, and the first fall freeze near September 12. Frost can come in any month, so drain the water lines before you leave the rig.

Freezing nights and freeze dates: NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals, Brian Head station in town at 9,770 feet. Snow on the ground: NRCS Brian Head SNOTEL at 10,040 feet. Snowfall: NOAA, Bryce Canyon station. Snow load and frost depth: Brian Head Town design table, revised November 20, 2024.

The cost

What RV parking costs in Brian Head

The pad is not what sets the price. The room comes with the lot, and lot sizes differ a great deal across town. The price follows the home, the lot and the street far more than the pad.

The Census lists the typical Brian Head home at a value near $468,200. It is what owners say a home is worth, and it blends condos, cabins and houses. About 3 homes in 4 here are second homes, and the margin is wide for a town this small. Shop by the lot first.

The rules

Rules to check before you count on it

Brian Head Town sets the parking, zoning and building rules inside its limits. Lots outside the town, like Meadow Lake Estates, answer to Iron County instead.

On the street

No parking on any town street from November 1 to April 30. The rest of the year a vehicle may stay 72 hours. No vehicle over 26 feet long or 8 feet tall may park on a town road, and trailers may not sit on a street at all.

On your own lot

As I read the town's parking code, it does not bar a parked RV on your lot. Recorded CC&Rs can still limit it, so read them. Living in an RV is allowed on a lot only with a building permit and active work, between April 30 and November 1.

Drive and snow room

A single-family drive must be 16 to 24 feet wide at the street, with a slope of 12 percent or less. A drive over 150 feet long or steeper than 12 percent needs Public Safety approval. The lot must also hold room for the snow.

A garage or cover for the rig

The town asks for a permit on every project. A garage or covered bay must sit outside the setbacks (the required gap from the lot lines), and its height depends on its size, from 15 feet at 200 square feet up to 27 feet at 1,500. Ask the town's Planning and Building office first.

How I help

How I find you the right lot

The MLS has no clean RV filter, so I do the sorting. Here is how.

  1. Tell me the rig

    Its length, its height and what else you tow. Sleds and a boat count too.

  2. I read the listings

    I look at the photos, the lot lines and the street on each new home in your budget, not only the ones tagged RV.

  3. You get a short list

    Only homes with the room, each with a note on the pad, the drive and the road.

  4. Photos first, then the tour

    I ask about anything unclear before the offer is written. On the tour, bring a tape, and we measure.

Where to look

Where the room for a camper actually is

Room for a rig comes from the size of the lot. County parcel records for 2024 show the bigger lots on the east hillside, at the north end and on the west slope. Positions on the sketch are rough, not measured.

A sketch, not to scale.

Far east, off Steam Engine Drive

Steam Engine Meadows

The roomiest of the built areas. The middle lot in Phase I is about 1.6 acres, and the homes are mostly custom. It sits near 10,150 feet, so snow gets the most time here.

East hillside

Cedar Breaks Mountain Estates

Cabin lots here run about 0.4 to 0.5 acre in the middle. That is room for a trailer beside the house on a wider lot. Much of this hillside sits on mapped landslide deposits, so ask about the ground.

North end

Mountair Evergreen Estates

The lowest homes in town, at about 9,500 feet, on lots of about half an acre in the middle. Blocks A to G date from 1968 on.

West slope, under the Navajo lifts

Trails at Navajo

Lots run from about 0.4 to 0.6 acre in the middle, with homes built from 1995 to 2023. Ask whether your street is a town road before you count on a plow.

Quick answers

RV parking, answered

Only for a short time, and not in winter. The town allows no parking on any town street from November 1 to April 30. In the other months a vehicle may stay up to 72 hours. A vehicle over 26 feet long or 8 feet tall may not park on a town road, and a trailer may not sit on a street or public lot at all.

As I read the town's parking code, yes. It asks that trailers be kept in private off-street areas, and it has no rule against a parked RV on your own lot. Recorded CC&Rs can still limit it, so I read them for each home.

Yes, in a narrow case. The town allows it on private property only with an active building permit and active construction, for one vehicle per lot, between April 30 and November 1. Ask the town's Planning and Building office before you plan on it.

Where the lots are bigger. Look at Steam Engine Meadows on the far east side, the Cedar Breaks Mountain Estates hillside, Mountair Evergreen Estates at the north end, and Trails at Navajo on the west slope. Condo buildings and the small lots of Woodbridge are the exception.

Not by itself. The price follows the home, the lot and the street. The Census puts the typical Brian Head home at about $468,200, and that figure blends condos, cabins and homes, so shop by the lot first.

Make a free account and save this search, and you get an email when a home lists. You can also send me your rig and your budget. The MLS does not always tag it, so I study the photos and the lot lines myself and send the homes with room.
