We absolutely prefer campgrounds. But sometimes it just doesn't work out with our travel schedule and route. So . . yeah, we've overnighted at a WalMart a couple of times. Once at a Cracker Barrel. Each time we've done it we've been very thankful those businesses were available. Especially the Cracker Barrel--that was a desperation thing after being stuck for hours in a road construction related traffic jam. We were exhausted and couldn't have safely driven very much longer. Their breakfast the next morning was very good! We've never stayed at a rest area but wouldn't hesitate to if necessary. Every time we've been driving during the night and pulled into one for a break there have been people sleeping in cars. So I really doubt any LEO would bat an eye at our small RV, or any RV parked in an appropriate spot and manner.
