Walmart

VFW? That would seem to be out of line.

Try VFW . moose , church even police station just leave something like a donation or food ,candy ,donuts and a note saying thank you.

Wow. Lot's of good replies. We were thinking of the Elkin, NC Wally, but might also check out the Cracker Barrel mentioned.

Thanks for all of the info and input as ALWAYS!!!!

Is it OK to deploy your slides while staying overnight at WalMart?
Just wondering.

IF I can park on an edge, I will deploy the slides on the edge - IF it is a level parking lot

SO - sometimes yes and sometimes no

We use campgrounds when we camp. We stay at state, national, private and federal.

No parking lots for us.

Pogoil.

We stayed at a WM once, nice, quiet, clean. Next morning DW said "the store is almost empty, I'll only be a minute." $147.00 later we were back on the road. Last overnight at WM.

I-77, Exit 36, Mooresville,NC has a Cracker Barrel on the west side of the exit with RV parking spots and there is a Wal-Mart on the east side of that exit and south of the cross highway.

I have stopped in both over the years when making our many flying trips from PA to somewhere in the south. Usually just a few hours of sleep and back on the road, but try to use the restaurant or the store for meals or supplies.

Leaving this exit and heading further south is better if you do so early before the commuter traffic picks up so you can buzz right through Charlotte.

Few exits north of where the Charlotte exits start there is a Cracker Barrel on the right side that has 6 RV parking sites. We have stayed there and it's a nice quite parking lot. The Cracker Barrel workers are friendly and we're always had a great meal there. Check on the Cracker Barrel web site for the location.

Although I support the RV'rs Good Neighbor Code I DON'T understand where all those organizations can support 'the right to park'.
When did it became a 'right'? A 'good will' gesture on behave of a private business/organization YES but a 'right'....not by any stretch of the imagination. They lost credibility with that statement.

I agree. We don't have a RIGHT to park on private property.
