As the camping season gets underway, some in the metro are also getting a wake-up call that you can get in trouble with the law if you don't camp your camper in the right place.

Take a look inside Chris Speckmeier's camper has a full a full master bedroom, with its own bathroom.

"That's a double bunk, those are both queen sized bunks,” said Speckmeier. "I have a cooktop stove.”

The setup is sweet when Speckmeier hits the road.

"Our spot is Louisville,” she said.

But according to Omaha police, when this camper camps out in Speckmeier's driveway between trips she’s violating Omaha City Code. City law states any recreational vehicle, trailer or boat cannot exceed 20 feet if you want to park it in the driveway.

Speckmeier's is too long; she was issued a notice of nuisance and then a 24 hour tow notice because of it.

"I think it's totally unfair that you can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on your property, you pay your property taxes, you pay your insurance, however they can dictate what you can and can't park in your driveway,” said Speckmeier.

"It's really frustrating to us and probably the RV or boat owner because they purchase these boats, they purchase these RV's and they bring them home and don't realize there's an Omaha City ordinance that says anything over 20 feet in length cannot be parked in your driveway,” said OPD Sergeant Erin Payne.

Sergeant Payne told WOWT 6 News Fact Finders that these types of violations are generally reported by neighbors through the mayor's hotline, officers then follow up on the call.

"We've asked for speed bumps, we've asked for radar we haven't gotten any of that. However, someone calls the mayor's hotline about a camper parked in a driveway that's not going to hurt or kill anybody and they are right out on it, Johnny on the spot,” Speckmeier told WOWT 6 News.

Speckmeier took to the streets providing WOWT 6 News with these photos, frustrated that other campers and boats remain in driveways.

“Whether or not you've actually been issued a notice of nuisance issued by the police department or not, it's still an ordinance that says you cannot park a trailer or an oversized vehicle in your front yard,” said Payne.

In response, Speckmeier decided to move, selling her house within days of putting it on the market.

And so that's why she moved across the neighborhood where there's a camper pad connected to the driveway, that according to the city law, is legal if you want to store your camper, boat or RV in your driveway. But in the end, both Sgt. Payne and Speckmeier hope this serves as an alert for other rec vehicle and boat owners.

"If general public just knew it was a violation or it was against city ordinance, it would certainly help us out in terms of not having to respond to those smaller priority calls,” said Payne.

"I would like other campers to know you should really check before you buy a camper and if you can afford storage because chances are, that's where it's going to end up," said Speckmeier.

City code does allow campers and other recreational vehicles to be parked in driveways for 24 hours for loading and unloading purposes -- but if you are issued a notice you have 10 days to move it.

Speckmeier did file an appeal on the tow notice, but was declined because she didn't file the paperwork in time.
