Are you implying that stealth camping is illegal? There is nothing illegal about stealth camping. Trespassing is illegal. You are allowed on private property in South Carolina with some exceptions. For example, you are not allowed to hunt without permission, if the land is fenced or posted you are trespassing, you are not allowed to cause damage to the property. If you are traveling down the road and see a nice wooded area to sleep and it is not fenced, the owner didn't tell you that you are not allowed on the land or if it is posted, then you are allowed to put up a tent and camp.

If this type of camping were illegal, I would probably not tour. I don't like hurrying to get to my next campground, hotel, etc.. I prefer to ride until I feel like stopping for the evening. I could do this out in the open, but I prefer to stealth camp. I leave no trace that I was there. I don't cook at my campsite. I don't set fires. I put up my tent and get ready for bed, maybe some light reading or writing.

In the morning, I get up and pack my stuff and head on down the road. I will stop when I see a nice place to make breakfast.
