I saw a Utube video of a family filming their "camping" spot at Walmart, awnings out, grill/chairs setup, SORRY IMHO that's abusing the privilege. If you "overnight" you stop late & leave early, if "camping" you arrive early see the local sights & leave whenever & again IMHO you shouldn't be doing that at Wal-Mart/Cracker Barrel or anywhere that wasn't designed for that purpose. We've never stayed at WM/CB, rest area, no where we didn't pay something.
I know I'm gonna catch hell from this entire post so I just as well add this, if you can't afford to stop & pay for a site while traveling then maybe rving was the wrong choice. There are city/county parks that allow a couple free nights all across the country & books that list them. I know the argument that "I spend $$ in Wal-Mart", ,but it's not a "campground". Just my .02 cents.
