Our trips typically have a mix of free and pay locations. We'll generally find an RV park of some sort when running low on water & need to dump, or it's just plain convenient.
Regarding WM parking lots: we've learned to pay attention to the surrounding area when choosing a spot. The Hood River WM is located alongside the freeway, which is at a 4-5 percent grade. We parked across the fence from the freeway & didn't think much about it until bedtime... Jake brakes downhill, roaring trucks headed up hill.... and general traffic noise at 65MPH. No one was over there; it was such a nice spot! We wondered why everyone else was parking on the other side, as far away from the freeway as they could!
