This is the one I stayed at ...

Some of the rest areas also allow people to stay for up to 48 hours. Those rest areas have grassy sections for someone to pitch a tent, and a fairly basic toilet block.
In the UK, farmers can get a campground certification which will allow them to collect a bit of money in exchange for a bit of land on which to pitch a tent. Some were more formal, complete with toilet blocks with showers, others were more rustic (no facilities). When I was there, the usual amount was about 5 pounds which wasn't bad for a campground in the UK.
Rather than calling it "stealth camping", I prefer to call it "bush camping" or "wild camping" or "free camping", and if you do a search on those terms, along with the country you're travelling to, you'll find some ideas.
