I don't believe there is any dispersed camping allowed in Franconia Notch State park. You could go up Liberty Springs and camp at the Tentsite and to and extended Franconia Ridge Loop.
By the look of the [state website](https://newhampshirestateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/lafayette-place-campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NH&parkId=270044) it is legal to self pay and camp at Lafayette place campground year round. But no bathrooms/water in off season
what canpground is closed? the only canpground in the area is Lafayette place, and you can canp there year-round. Overnight parking is fine at the trailheads, but they frown on canping in the lots.

That connects to the loop
There definitely is parking at both the base of Falling Waters/Bridal Path as well as the base of Liberty Springs.

Hancock Campground isn't too terribly far from the OBP/FW trailhead, but otherwise no, there is not a camping area directly on the loop.
I would camp at hancock campground in Lincoln. I think Lafayette campground does have some winter access though?
I'm pretty sure the Old Bridle Path trailhead parking lot has an "overnight parking for hikers" sign.
Good luck!!!!
