Just as a matter of interest, trespassing is only chargable if you refuse to leave when asked. Even a gypsy or wild camper would have the courtesy to move when asked, so that wouldn't be trespass either.
Now, just where would law enforcement come in? I guess you'd have to refuse to leave.

I apologize. I mis-read your post.
Your first paragraph describes what you specifically would / wouldn't do.
Your second paragraph seemed like a generic description of "tresspassing".
I now understand you meant these together, and I agree with your statements.
