Stopovers gets my vote, but I tend to think of it as "my bed for tonight" or "This'll dae me."
What do you call yours???

we too call it a parkup
funny it's only since i came on here that other people's opinions on what we do ever entered my head. we drive a legal vehicle and park up anywhere we feel is ok, ie, not privately owned or restricted areas. i still don't think it's anyone's business what we do. saying that, we haven't done a lot of it in the UK and people here are often a bit odd about things that wouldn't bother the average european

Depends, we have generally 4 names
1 "night halt", if a layby carpark and it's crap but can't find owt else (... and probably won't go back for a 2nd time, nor recommend it as a POI).
2 "wild camping", if parked up on a beach or on a POI.
3 "cheeky campings", if parked where we shouldnae !
4 "aires" or "WC" generally anywhere in France.
I've proper wilded and rubbed sticks to keep warm (!) under the stars and tree branches but I still call it WC in the M/H and that's fine by me, because the distinction for us is NOT a campsite.
Whilst we're at it we freely interchange the words "Motorhome" & "Camper" depending upon the wind -> don't care, makes no odds.

'Stopovers' because we park, we stop, overnight. Nothing to do with camping really.

If Wild Camping gives the wrong impression, how about:
1. Restbite Parking
2. Absolutely Livid Camping
3. Social Parking
4. Community Parking
5 Eco-Parking
6. Buy-Social Park Up

When / if I mention to anyone I'm going wild camping virtually all assume I'm off with my tent.
I would be for dropping "camping" from the title.
I searched the definition of camping and got various descriptions. Tents, huts, caravans, motorhomes. You name it and it gets a mention somewhere or other associated with camping.

I would go along with Stopovers .
I don't really think that one could decribe some of the discusting laybys as POI's !
