Funny that, one of the main reasons I tend to overnight in rest stops and such rather than a campground.
When I’m in transit I tend to pull long days broken up by short ‘stretch your legs’ breaks, fuel stops, meal breaks, etc. That means I’m not stopping for the day until sometime after 10pm and am always back on the road before 8am.
I would feel like a real heel disturbing a bunch of families trying to enjoy their vacation while I parked in a site equipped with services I neither want or need for a few hours sleep.
In 30+ years of doing this (probably a dozen nights a year I’ve never even heard of anyone doing so having any kind of problem.
Well, if you're driving until after 10 pm and heading out again before 8 am, you're probably not on the 'trip enjoyment schedule' that I'm on. If I'm in that big of a hurry I like airplanes!! :C
No, we don't hear about a lot of problems boondocking, WalMart-ing, or rest stop-ing, but then again, not many problems of that type make national news. But believe me, they do exist.
