Some CA state parks offer overnite sites in parking areas that must be vacated by 9 am the next morning. Has anyone used these sites? Do other states offer similar service?
From our experience, almost all the roadside rest stops allow you to park overnight for free. They say "no camping" but that means tents, etc. The big rigs stop there all night to sleep with no problems. I've stayed in a couple for a quick overnight sleep and its a bit noisy with trucks, and you wake up in the middle of a couple of big rigs but its not bad. Safer than a Walmart I think.
