In addition to Wal-Mart and truck stops, other places like Cabella's, Cracker Barrel allow it upon request.  As mentioned, always go in and ask a manager about it before you do.  Some areas have laws against it which they will (should) know about, and often they want you to stay in a particular area on their parking lot.  Personally I don't like Wal-Marts anymore, we've had issues from locals more than once.  We prefer truck stops since by their nature they are in areas where overnighting is allowed, they have gas and basic supplies, and locals don't mess with truckers!  Usually I'll fill up the TV while my wife or kids go in to ask where we can park (even truck stops usually want RVs in a specific area), and they make sure to point us out at the pump where we are buying their gas...

We boondock in Colorado all the time in the national forest areas where it's allowed.  It's totally dry camping and you are required to haul out your trash.  We camp in a remote area West of Saguache, Colorado.  There is also a lot of dry camping in the Taylor Park area near Gunnison as well.]]> Thu, 07 May 2015 10:20:25 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6182&PID=59777#59777 Where can you camp/sleep? : Yea im planning on moving... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6182&PID=59772#59772 Author: Appocalexx

Yea im planning on moving back to Texas in a couple years, and will be doing more fishing trips than just camping, i know these things arn't made for crazy off road or anything but being a single axle im sure they can get through some rough stuff, I was planning on adding leafs and shocks to it (with or without the 4" blocks, undecided) so that i could get bigger tires and have more ground clearance and some articulation for the hard to reach areas, even if there are places like that in Texas.
 
But that was my main reason for asking about in general is where you can just pull over for the night or weekend not just traveling on the road type thing. But like you said states are prolly different so i guess i can call the local DMV, we have a few beaches and lake fronts around here and only some of them have places for camping and RV(dry camp) spots.

I see you are from Alaska.  Rules may be different up there, but in the lower 48 there is hardly anywhere that you can just pull over and camp for the night other than designated campgrounds.  Most Walmarts, Pilot Flying Js, and probably most truck stops being the notable exceptions. At least some national forests may have pretty loose enforcement, but they generally have designated camping areas.

I'm sure there are other places hither and yon, but down here anyway, you can't count on finding a convenient place to just pull over and spend the night.  In my experience though, campgrounds aren't that hard to find with minimal effort.  They aren't free, of course.  But Walmart might be just what you're looking for.  (You should always check with the store manager to see if overnight parking is allowed, and to see if they have anything to say about where you park.)

New to owning a travel trailer, I have been trying to find local or state laws stating where you can pull over for the night or just drive out to and find somewhere to hold up for the weekend. Im sure i will be hitting up some RV camps but those are not always availabe. I understand that i need to be weary of private property and also obey obvious signs but other than calling the local dmv which they will most likely not care and just tell me what i dont want to hear, i was hopeing of asking some seasoned vets of owning RVs. Thank for the help.]]> Thu, 07 May 2015 01:12:35 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6182&PID=59760#59760
