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 **(edit, I as in me, I left the camper parked the whole time while I left)**. I saved this spot on my GPS for the next visit.
