Boondocking in a national park lodge parking lot?
Any rules against overnighting in the parking lot of Old Faithful Lodge, or some other busy place? What if you have a room, and some of the family were to sleep out in a camper?

Yep. My most hated phrase around is "better to ask forgiveness than permission" - it's a justification to ignore the rules and do what you want.
OR it's a way to make a reasonable exception without putting an otherwise agreeable authority on the spot and forcing them to say no because nosy rule sticklers would then get them in trouble.
Really? Doing something that you know is not allowed in order to prevent the authority person from telling you no is considered "reasonable"???
It's the authority's JOB to tell you no or to give you the exception. By not asking permission, you are requiring that authority to do more work than necessary (by now having to remove you from the location, write up a ticket, etc.), but you're concerned about making their job easier...
