Walmart in Cottonwood AZ

Because of an incident involving a family of paranoid, belligerent crazies a few months ago, overnight parking is no longer allowed at this Walmart. This has always been a city ordinance, but was not enforced. Because of the actions of that family, the ordinance is now being enforced and the entire RV community has lost this privilege.

    That's too bad. A few years ago we went to the Thousand Trails Campground on ThousandTrails Road south of Cottonwood on Hwy 279. Just as you turned off onto TT road we could see a # of rigs boondocking on the left side of the road. They actually had a fantastic view!!!!!!! Can anyone tell me if that area is still available????

    I really can't blame WalMart or the city for taking this action.
    They got too much bad publicity from the incident.
