Stealth camping is not illegal!
The reason to be stealthy is to be left alone, to not draw attention to yourself, to not cause concern for other citizens and in general to just fly under the radar.
I was in a town that had nowhere for RV's or trailers to even park. I asked the loacl police and they suggested parking on the street. Really? Yes, he said, there is no law against it. So I did, but I kept it stealthy anyway. Why? Because I wanted to be left alone and not bothered. I was parked on a neighborhood street for 4 days/ 3 nights. This was such a small town that I was close enough no matter where I parked to go do the things I wanted to do. I only was there for breakfast, supper and sleeping. I spent the day away from camp. My day was the point to see and experience, my time at the camper was for getting ready to do it all again the next day…
The neighbors all assumed I was visiting the other neighbor and no one ever asked. I left in the morning and returned after dark. I saved this spot on my GPS for the next visit.
Finally someone who knows what stealth is :C
Town I live in it's legal to park over night on the street a car, van, truck with cap or truck camper. No motorhomes, fifth wheels or travel trailers allowed on the street.
If you were caught sleeping in a car, van, truck with cap or truck camper the police may stop to check you out but there is really nothing they can do about it. They may ask you to move on after sometime. If you were staying on the street in front of your family members homes they would allow it probably for months.
Truck and truck camper or truck cap is considered a pickup truck. No registration, tags or taxes on a truck camper so it's legal.
Smaller town five miles away from me it's legal to drive to the grocery store, gas station, post office, anywhere in town an ATV, UTV, golf cart on the street. No tags, registration required but I do think you need to have a permit or drivers license to do so.
