Because of the eclipse many CG's are full up. this is usually not the norm.
Not all Walmarts have over night parking. And as of late most are not safe at night. Do a search on the rest stops along your route first, as many have changed to no overnight parking.
If it were me traveling with my child, "I" would not stay overnight at Walmart. Heck by myself I wouldn't stay at a Walmart. Its the new venue for meth labs and drug dealers. Been there seen it.
That said, since you are looking to save money.
Do a google search for "Flying J" truck stops. This is a place that is RV friendly, safe, and have parking spots along side the gas station designed for RV's. You will be parking along with other RV's.
Here is the link for locations and trip planner.

Also real nice, real big, well lit truck stops is another place you can stay overnight in. Stay away from the small dingy truck stops.
Also do a search for Fairgrounds along your route. They all have CG's and the price to stay overnight is sometimes only 10 bucks!
Good luck plenty of options for a 'safe' place to stay.
Hope you and your son enjoy the adventure. :C
