All you need for successful stealth camping can be found in Raybo's links. 'Course, I can't let Raybo have the last word, so...
Wild camping is anything that's free. Stealth is a hidden wild camp.
I do more non hidden wild camping than stealth. Small town city parks mostly, in or behind abandoned buildings, behind a road side business with owners permission, state right-of-ways when some privacy is available, etc. Fact is 99% of people who might see your camp don't give a flip. Too busy with their own lives, and have no desire to deal with a bum on a bicycle. Yeah, some bored cop may say "No", but that is extremely rare.
