Walmart overnight parking

If you want to see a Walmart parking lot that turns into a campground, go to the store in Pendleton, OR during the Pendleton Roundup.

8 years ago I was there while picking RVs to haul back to Spokane. People had lawn chairs, patio mats, dog fences and all sorts of paraphernalia strewn about around their rig. It really did look like a campground!

By the way when we do stay at Walmart it is because we are pulling in late and leaving early, no campgrounds or to far away. Last time the campgrounds was 30 miles roundtrip from where we wanted to be the next morning.

I think thats what the majority of folks do. The WM's are generally close to the highway so easy pull off to get some sleep, eat in the morning and then head back out.

I agree. I think the longest we have ever stayed at a WM parking lot was about 16 hours - 5pm to 9am.

I currently observe nightly RVs (few only) parking at the Reno Walmart lot next to Sams Club at Kietze Ln and Redfield parkway. They park in main front lot and rear lot. Never see any at Sams club. Also observe private security patrol car checking the lots at night.

Can I park my RV at a Walmart store?

While we do not offer electrical service or accommodations typically necessary for RV customers, Walmart values RV travelers and considers them among our best customers. Consequently, we do permit RV parking on our store parking lots as we are able. Permission to park is extended by individual store managers, based on availability of parking space and local laws. Please contact management in each store to ensure accommodations before parking your RV.

I hope that the corporate info is up to date. I hit Walmart at least three times on my travels to and from Minneapolis and Florida.

Parking at Walmart is a store-by-store situation depending on local ordinances and other factors. There used to be a guide floating around the internet about which stores allowed in and which don't. Do some searching and you might be able to find it (if it's been kept up-to-date).

Our local store has a sign "No 24 hour parking"

That's always been the case. This is something recent and supposedly nationwide.
