I have been a part timer for well over 10 years. As I have become more seasoned with a lot of trial and error under my belt, I would like to offer a few thoughts on free rest/sleeping in parking lots vs.Campgrounds.
I don?t think it?s a good idea to stay in a parking lot if you have children with you. You?ve had them cooped up in a seatbelt all day, now you need to give them a chance to run/play off some of that youthful energy. A nice campground with a swimming pool would be ideal. Us old fogies can relax by the pool and a good time can be had by all. (Isn?t the trip part of the fun)
Parking lots are really nice when you just need to catch a few winks and safety resume your trip. They are close to the highway so no time is wasted.
I have stayed in parking lots but I never get the restful sleep that I get in a safe campground. Campgrounds are usually quieter, safer and you get hookups.
I have found that some campgrounds have spots for overnighters, pull through that don?t require much work, you can leave your toad hooked up so that you are ready to leave the next morning.
This is just a few of my thoughts, if you found this helpful then it makes me happy.
