Anyone no
know of a list to overnighting at Sams CLub
https://www.allstays.com/c/sams-club-locations.htm
https://www.allstays.com/c/wal-mart-locations.htm
As has been said Call - needs to be early as they close at 8:30.
Well lit - have security, and usually no Low Branches or Boulder hidden on the corners - :E
Wal*Mart is easier, and you still need to Call.

I don't make a habit out of overnighting at Walmarts or Sams or others that may allow it. I did Walmart once and did not feel comfortable with it. It was a 24 hour location and some of the cars and people I saw were a little suspect, and this was in a small town in GA, some place you would think was on the safer side. Drugs and the people who use them are everywhere I guess because I watched a couple small time drug deals happen in that lot.
You mean some who frequent Walmart at 3:00 am might be a bit shady? Say it ain't so! - ken56ExplorerI don't make a habit out of overnighting at Walmarts or Sams or others that may allow it.

Why not just use the pickle park on the Interstate like the truckers do.
Hey Hey Hey as a retired OTA driver I resemble that REMARK!!!:B
Ha Ha, me too..... With all the regulations now, I leave the pickle parks to the professionals, they need all the sleeping/parking room they can get..
I would rather support local campgrounds...- Yosemite_Sam1ExplorerI wonder how we can prevent this site from becoming like a political/haters' forum?
- SidecarFlipExplorer IIII have to say that the only time I was forced to 'lay over' with the camper because I was tired, was in a pickle park on the Interstate. Restrooms are handy, usually pop machines and parking in between big trucks isn't all that bad.
Better than a Walmart parking lot. - SidecarFlipExplorer III

- Johno02ExplorerJust to let everyone know, just because a few of us occasionally spend a few hours in a Walmart or Sams parking lot when we need to rest, it doesn't mean that we are too cheap or can't afford a campsite. Usually it means that either there is not a campground nearby in the direction we are traveling, or that we needed to stop for supplies anyhow, and decided to rest for a bit before going on. If we do spend a while in the parking lot, we usually will spend more than a campground would cost in the store before we leave. The campground would be a lot cheaper!!
