I'd also be interested in knowing the legal problems you know to avoid- like public parking. If I'm in the middle of a state without cash to go to a KOA, what would be the legal repercussions of 'staying' overnight in a Wal-Mart shopping center parking lot? I am very resourseful... when I need to be.
It's easy to avoid legal difficulties if you keep some very simple rules in mind.
First and foremost: Always ascertain whether the property you intend to "camp" on is Public or Private, and then:
-If Public Property, find out whose jurisdiction it's in and acquaint yourself with the rules governing the overnight use thereof.
-If Private Property, always seek/get the owner's permission before taking up "residence". And that includes Walmart- always ask the store manager before settling in for the night.
