We decided to push past Fishkill and went all the way to to Piscataway Walmart in NJ.  They allow overnight but when I tried to make sure with manager all he said "we are not responsible for anything". It was a Walmart that closed a 11 and just didn't feel safe.  Decided to head further down the road to try to get to the Eastern Shore.  We were near the end of the Jersey Turnpike and I noticed they had truck parking.  I asked the attendant if it was ok to overnight and he said it was ok.  Felt much safer as it was open 24 hours.....it was a bit noisy but with everything closed up in the camper noise wasn't an issue.

Assuming Your traveling Rt84, there are free spots not far off the highway in the PA Delaware State Forest. You have to call them and get a permit. Yet as I say they're free! Haven't been there as of yet, but have done the same in other States. Sites are typically clean, have a fire ring and sometimes even a water source.

I have a March 2021 report that says they can no longer allow. That makes sense being it's New York.. You'll find MA & ME to be much the same.

I make it a point with rare exceptions to go inside and ask, even if the RV Parky app says it is okay. If we stayed there before and if I see a number of other RVs there, I sometimes skip going in first. I still like to confirm. That lets the management know we are there. Sometimes, we have encountered places where RV Parky said no but the manager said yes. Other times it was the opposite.

I will check and call ahead.....according to RV Parky they allow overnight...not sure how often they update the app.  The stop is in Fishkill, NY. It has a Cracker Barrel as well so I have another option, review says it is noisy at the CB .  The last review on the Walmart and Cracker Barrel was 4/29/21 so it was allowed then.  The Walmart had good reviews. There are also several motels there as a last resort.

Double check the Walmarts before you plan a stay at one. Many have shut down overnights. I was surprised by how many as we travel south out of NH this past Jan/Feb. Most of this being local/State rulings, not Walmart.
I also saw a sign at Loves Truck Stop of commercial only for overnight parking.

Another option is Boondockers Welcome....for a new guest signing up it's about $50 for a year and access to thousands of locations around the USA.
