Stealth Camping

Lifestyle

Stealth parking, urban stealth camping, discreet overnight parking, city camping

Stealth camping is overnighting in a city or town while making the vehicle look like an ordinary parked van rather than an occupied camper.

It is most relevant to panel van conversions with few external camping signs. Stealth does not override local parking, camping or overnight-stay rules.
