Have you ever camped somewhere you probably shouldn’t? I know I have. Not just for kicks, but I’ve definitely taken a spontaneous trip to Moab, arriving after dark only to discover that all the campsites are full. After a couple of hours of fruitless searching, I found a quiet road to park on and pitch my tent near for the night, crossing my fingers that no one came along. And while I'm being honest, when my boyfriend and I drive down south to visit his parents, we virtually always park the van on a side street in a beach town, climb in the back for the night and hope none of the residents is too keen on neighborhood watch.
Whether you’re trying to avoid the expense of paying for a hotel or you just don’t have any other option, you’ve probably had the experience of discreetly camping somewhere unsanctioned, and it turns out that not only is there a name for this – stealth camping.
