I myself have participated in "Commando Camping" while biking a rather long rail-trail. We were in what I'd describe as "the boonies", no one in sight, hadn't seen an inhabited house for hours. At the end of the day when we had exhausted ourselves we pretty much pedaled until we found a suitable flat spot and crashed. The only impact was maybe a flat spot in the grass, no scat holes or trash left behind. We treated this camp spot better than if it were our own property. I certainly can't speak for all land owners, but I would like to think that as long as property is treated with respect and care, most owners wouldn't be upset by this occasional use. Heck if you take such care that they never become aware perhaps that's even better.
