Have you ever camped in a cemetery??

I was looking for information on Rv'ing here in NJ, and came upon this webpage:

Here's a list of low cost places to RV - LOL:

Free and Low Cost RV Camping Ideas In New Jersey

Here's a list of places to consider when looking for a free overnight RV camping or parking location in New Jersey. We always recommend asking for overnight RV parking permission when looking for a free spot to spend the night. The smaller your RV, the better chances you will have finding places to stay if you choose not to ask permission. If you don't ask permission, you end up "sneaking" into places and hoping nobody bothers you or issues you a trespassing ticket before you move on. Be smart and Be Safe…Ask Permission.

Truck Stops – Asking permission is usually not a requirement Be considerate of the big rigs!

Walmart – Not all stores allow overnight RV parking in New Jersey due to city ordinances. Check store for policy.

Nightclubs – Had one too many or just pretending?

Grain Elevators – Ask where you can park your RV out of the way for the night.

Fraternal Organizations – VFW, Elks etc. may allow members free overnight RV camping.

Cemetery – Sounds creepy to us, but we've also heard they may have water available.

Fairgrounds – State and County facilities may allow RV camping when not otherwise in use.

Parks – City, County, State, and Community parks often have free RV camping.

Churches – You can almost make "reservations" by calling ahead for permission.

Hotel Parking Lots – Assuming a nightclub/bar is inside, had one too many or just pretending?

Truck Terminals – Parking areas for large trucks might allow you free RV camping permission.

RV Dealers – Pretty brave to us, but you could fit right in.

Cracker Barrel – These nationwide restaurants usually allow free overnight RV parking.

Movie Theaters – Too tired to drive home after the late show?

Highway Rest Areas – All rest areas allow a few hours of free RV parking, but noisy.

Drive In Movies – Got a small RV, park in the back row and enjoy the show. Fell asleep by accident right?

Vehicle Repair Shops – Need to see the repairman first thing in the morning?

Big Box Retailers – Kmart, Best Buy, Sams Club often allow free RV camping.

Roadside Parks & Picnic Areas – The early day version of the rest area.

As you can see, there are a lot of free RV camping and parking possibilities in New Jersey. If you are not asking permission, it's best to keep a very low profile. If your RV has slide outs, jacks and TV antennas, don't use them so as not to draw attention to yourself. Consider your surroundings carefully and if you feel uncomfortable with the area, move somewhere else.

It stated that if you're a member of the Elks you can camp free. However, there's a listing of Elks that allow that, and most all charge a fee if I recall.

Yes, I actually camp at least one, more often two weekends a year at a cemetery. Probably 300 graves dating from 1806 to last month, everyone of them blood to me. We gather as a family to maintain the yard and pay respects to our elders. Nothing eerie disrespectful or creepy about being with family! It's just continuity!
My self, a brother and a cousin are in Rv,s, most of the rest still live on the original land.

No way, I would never camp in a cemetery.

There's a cg in Ludington, Mi that hasa chain link fence dividing it from the cemetery. People tent camp all along the fence.
Too close for me!

Look on the bright side, if you don't wake up they don't have to haul your carcass very far.:B

camping in a cemetery? no way are we doing that.
I want some place hopping and alive, not dead and boring! 🙂 🙂

We've camped in a few CG's over the years that were a lot more DEAD than in a cemetary. They hadn't done any maintenance for maybe years, roads terrible and/or mucky clay gravel or just dirt and the sites were akin to a buggy swamp, all the grass needed cutting already a few months ago, and the paid for utilities were a joke and just a suggestion. Compare that to what the average cemetary looks like and is! We still haven't tried overnighting in a cemetary yet but who would know as everyone there is very tight lipped and never gossips...

Trespassing? Kinky, I think it was dospassing.

Ok, I live on the border.

You shouldn't park overnight in a cemetery, you'll be taken out by the first wave in the Zombie Apocalypse!

I am pretty sure a cemetery will definitely be my last, and longest campsite.
