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?

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...
Sometimes they would rather look the other way than be forced to say no. Because often they don't have the option to make a reasonable exception and it rankles them.
We have been told in the past that where we are parked is not for camping but then also told that after dark, no one checks. Wink wink nudge nudge.
There is a concept of the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law. Some people understand this and some people don't.
Nope. Not buying it. Your justification is lame.
You really think they prefer you to just do it then to follow the rules? Yeah right.
