Drone Camouflage

I'm finding out that the majority of places I would want to fly a drone are prohibited. Is there any place I can buy something to hide a small drone, like the mavic pro 2, from radar? Are there any DIY modifications that can be made? I feel like this might be a stupid question but I don't really know anything about radar capabilities and anything is possible,even if expensive.

The MP wont appear on any radar system, its too small.

This is by design, it would be a pretty poor radar system the pinged up every bird in the sky in a 50 mile radius, the mavic is smaller and has less surfacr area than most birds

I assumed there were other ways to detect civilian drones. What if I decide to use in a restricted national park? What are my risks?

All of the ATC radars are tracking the IFF beacons on the planes, not the planes themselves. I flew F/A-18s in the Navy for over 20 years. I can't tell you how many times I flew past small private airplanes that ATC knew nothing about because they weren't squawking. You are better off operating the drone inconspicuously. One technique I have used when operating away from home is to find a private place to launch the drone. If confronted by someone who has a problem with the drone, I hit RTH and drop the controller in my bag. It's just easier to play dumb and walk away than try to explain to someone that you have a right to be there. It's a waste of time to educate the public one person at a time.
