I am not opposed to or afraid of roadside camping, we have done so on occasion when tired or just don't want to go looking for a campground. I am suggesting that for those of you who are going to or from AK or the Yukon that campgrounds are a great source of current and up to the second information on local attractions.
We like to walk and talk to others around us in campgrounds. We have found great treats and exciting sites in doing so.
On the other hand, there is much to be said for unlighted roadsides for looking skyward and seeing the universe.
What I see happening is that major roadside pullouts are eventually trashed out of existence. No place is it more noticeable than the Western USA. There were multiple pull out areas along the 210 freeway in the Sunland/Tujunga area, the passes of Colorado and Siskiyou's in OR. Where mostly truckers but also RVers stopped for rests and got so trashed that the freeway or highways were altered to prevent pullouts from becoming dumps. PLEASE make sure you're not part of that problem.
