What should it be called?

We call it "blacktop boondocking," but others take issue with the term. They say "boondocking" should only be used when referring to camping without any hookups out in the boonies, the woods, the jungle, or whatever, but definitely not on a parking lot. It's a dilemma...RVers can't seem to agree on what to call the popular practice of stopping for a free overnight stay. Lots of people call it "dry camping," but others will respond saying, "it's a parking lot, not a camping lot." In the first three editions of Casino Camping we use the term "blacktop boondocking." It seems appropriate. WDYT?

How about just 'overnight parking'?

We refer to it as Overnighting. As in "We were Overnighting at Walmart for free. Cost us $82.39"

Lot docking seems to me to be an appropriate name for it. You can dry dock a boat or boon dock an RV so why not lot dock?
