As has already been stated, when traveling late and leaving early, there is no reasonable sense to paying a 24 hour rate for full amenities at a CG. If CG's offered an adjusted rate for travelers arriving late, boodocking with no amenities, and leaving early, I would not hesitate to use CG"s.
We Nornally try to find a national or state park, but if we are between places we've chosen as destinations, I see no harm in staying at WM for a few overnight hours. I always ask, I always park where they ask me to, and I evaluate the section of town the WM is in. If my gut says "NO", then I keep moving.
My only bad experiences have been with lot sweepers, weather, and on one occasion several cars drag racing accross the lot at 3 AM (we were in a corner, so it was just the sounds we had to deal with).
To each his/her own. We all have our reasons.
My family's particular style of RV'ing does not include hitting the road at 9 AM, stopping at 5 PM, and use of shore amenities overnight. Perhaps if we were full timers, we would probably do just that. We also do not use CG's as destinations unless we are planning to spend time in that region or area. More often than not, we travel more than camp. In fact, I can only name one occasion where we camped in the same CG more than 2 days. It was an RV resort in VA, right after purchasing our RV.
