All that said, I don't see a pressing need to stealth camp there. I personally would only stealth camp when there aren't other reasonable options. Note that I am not knocking what others do, but merely stating a preference. I have never needed to stealth camp when bike touring, but have when hiking or kayak/canoe camping.
