The Camas City Council will reevaluate the ordinance it recently approved that limits recreational vehicle and trailer parking, storage and occupancy, including on private property.

The ordinance, which the council approved 6-1 on June 16, prohibits RV and trailer parking in city parks, including parking lots, unless there are spaces specifically designated for such vehicles. After councilors expressed concerns about the ordinance during their July 16 meeting, they agreed to revisit it during an Aug. 18 workshop.
