Sky,
This is why you need Street Atlas with the overlays. There are lots of places that you can overnight if you are self-contained. Walmart is just one and I will not take the time here to list all of them. There will not be any in Yellowstone. Parks are tough that way. There are some just outside of Yellowstone, but if you get there and can overnight without hookups, there are four rustic campgrounds that have limited reservations and if you get to one and ask if they have one place open for one night, you might just win. Coach traveling is great, but it is not always easy and convenient unless you make it that way.

If we get to an area where we can't find a camp site but there isn't a Walmart what options do we have? Can you get away with pulling over into a different parking lot or off the side of a road? My concern is at some point getting caught in no mans land where we are driving around at sundown with no place to stay and getting rousted by cops and having to keep moving throughout the night. For instance, if we can't find a camp site in Yellowstone, do we have to drive out of the park at night and what if there isn't a walmart around? Same along the Oregon coast (though I suspect we'd find more walmarts even if we have to go inland). Thanks again for all the help!
