We don't allow anyone to camp, one of the reasons being hygiene, and another being the fact that I and the owners don't know if you are there for a night or want to be there for a week. We have valuable farming equipment and various chemicals, as well a fuel in bulk on the property, For all we know, you're there to steal that stuff, and that's a risk we can't take.
Public land is fine. But I've never camped on private property without permission and never will.
You also might think you are stealth camping, but a property owner or manager knows their land intimately. You may think you are hidden, but you aren't.
You might not know if I'll be there a week or a day. But I do. It doesn't matter what you think, particularly when you're not aware. If it's hilly woods, as it is in my part of the country, you won't know I'm there. And when I'm gone, I leave no evidence. You might think you know what's going on with your property but if it's hundreds of acres of woods do you really? No. But if you're going to lose sleep over this then post a sign dude!
