Federal law would cover overnight parking at NFS, NPS, COE, etc facilities. I've heard of folks being allowed to park at NFS ranger stations overnight by asking first. PARKING, not camping - no grill, no beach chairs, etc. NPS generally is not friendly to any sort of overnight parking outside of their paid campgrounds. COE I don't have any experience with. Other federal buildings, most likely NO.
State law would cover overnight parking at things like rest areas, welcome centers, capitol complexes / campus, things like that. State of Michigan permits overnight PARKING not camping at Welcome Centers but not all rest areas.
Township, village and city (and rarely County) ordinances (they can't make laws) would cover the roads, public parking lots, etc. More and more municipalities are against any kind of overnight parking supposedly to combat the homeless, gypsies and freeloaders. These ordinances are rarely published online anywhere. Most of the time, as you enter the area of influence for whatever level of local government, there will be signs posted disallowing overnight parking on any street for example. Around my area, there are big signs posted "No Parking On Any Street from 2AM to 6AM"
