Dayton is not only Ohio’s sixth-largest city (out of 253 cities), but it’s also located in a U.S. state that saw a 180% increase in demand for recreational vehicles (RVs, boats, etc.) in 2022. With more RVers than ever residing in Dayton, Ohio, you’re sure to find an abundance of RV storage options here (and in surrounding areas like Trotwood).
In light of the area’s harsh winters and averages of 40 inches of rain per year, we typically recommend indoor or covered storage rentals to Dayton residents. However, you can choose from either indoor storage facilities or outdoor storage spaces (like driveways, canopied parking spots, unpaved RV pads, side yards, etc.)
In this article, we’ve included RV storage options for various monthly rent budgets. Just be sure to consider location, space incline, and total overhead coverage before making a final decision.
The first step to making a decision is knowing what RV storage options are out there, so check out these top-rated RV storage listings in Dayton, OH (both covered and uncovered).

Cost of RV Storage in Dayton, OH: Peer-to-peer vs. Traditional
Look closely, and you’ll notice that most traditional storage facilities in the Dayton, Ohio, area post the same disclaimer: RV storage will vary based on your location, unit size, and property amenities. (And it’s true. Check out this article for more information on the factors that determine RV storage prices).
While some Dayton facilities intentionally conceal prices, on peer-to-peer marketplaces like Neighbor, per-month costs are always posted in plain sight. (Take the listings above, for example).
If you want to avoid the hassle of contacting a storage facility employee, just to inquire about rates, here are some average per-month costs to keep in mind. While traditional RV storage facilities charge roughly $200-$250 per month for an RV storage space, Neighbors’ RV storage prices average around $50-$150 a month (around 30% less than most traditional facilities). Of course, factors like location and space size play into the end price.
To get a better idea of the effect of location and size on cost, let’s compare the prices of Neighbor driveway spaces throughout Dayton, OH:
| Area | Listing Cost |
| Shiloh: Dayton, Ohio | Driveway 20’x10’ $39 / month |
| Westwood: Dayton, Ohio | Driveway, 20’x10’: $39 / month |
| Northern Hills: Dayton, Ohio | Driveway 30’x10’ $48 / month |
| Avonda: Dayton, Ohio | Driveway 50’x10’ $45 / month |
Can you legally park an RV in a driveway in Ohio? The short answer is yes, but you’ll need to understand how camper size and the driveway paving material type play into Ohio’s rules and regulations.
Types of RV Storage: Peer-to-peer vs. Traditional
When renting through a traditional facility, RV storage options are limited. You can either store your RV in a 10’x20’. 10’x30’, or 10’x40’ storage unit, or park it in a canopied parking lot. And the options usually end there.
Ask any RVer, and they’ll tell you that both traditional storage units and canopy parking stalls can be a challenge as far as parking goes, especially for the beginner RVer with a large RV built for a family of six.
At Dayton RV storage facilities, like Route 25 Storage, for example, you’ll have to carefully maneuver your RV in (and out) of a tight 10’x20’ storage unit or an 8’x20’ canopied parking stall every time you want to use it. Talk about a headache.
Pull in or out of the spot too quickly–or at the wrong angle–and you risk scraping your RV’s exterior against the poles of a parking canopy or the walls of your storage unit. Choose a storage unit that’s one size too small (a 10’x20’ rather than a 10’x30’), and you might end up with a door ding or a damaged side mirror.
Final Thoughts
For more storage options (including private, pull-through RV storage options), go the peer-to-peer route with Neighbor.
