Visit USA west-coast in camper

I'm planning a journey through California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. I would hire a camper but I'm not sure if I can station everywhere with it.

Is it possible in those states to park a caravan in a car park/gas station/roadside and spend there one night (not more than one) or the only authorized way to sleep inside a caravan is station inside a fitted camping?

My route doesn't cross any big city (except Las Vegas). Only states parks, scenic routes and deserts.

Best Answer

I've crossed the USA from New york to San Francisco in a motorhome a couple of times. I went throgh arizona, vegas, texas...well it was long way! Basically you cannot stop and sleep everywhere and less in a gas station.

We did it but you might be visited by some police officer in the middle of the night asking you why you are there.

What I would suggest is to use the GPS to spot out all the authorised places where to park your vehicle.

Be sure to call at least 2 hours before getting there with the motorhome.

Hope it helps!
