WALMART RV Parking
Today I went to my local Walmart to shop. While walking my dog I saw a sign stateing no overnight RV parking. So was wondering does Walmart still allow RV's to park overnight in some of thier lots ...
Forum Discussion
I'm not in the RV Park business but it seems that some who are already agree with me:
The Hilton doesn't think they can get the business that goes to hostels but they also don't try to shut them down. In some municipalities, RV park owners are trying to get ordinances against Walmart parking and don't tell me they aren't. I've had this discussion in person with a campground owner who was doing just that.
If all I want is a salad and every restaurant in town makes me pay for a three-course meal which includes it, how long will it be before one savvy restauranteur realizes that giving me what I want (even if I only spend $3.50) is a good business move. (He could seat me right beside his sumptuous desert display).
I didn't join this conversation to argue about it. I'm not looking for YOUR views, westernrvparkowner, but for those of RVers who now stop at Walmarts. Would you choose a parking-only spot if offered at RV parks? How likely are you to spend a few more dollars while there - we all need an rv dump, propane fill, laundromat. Would you be more likely to return to that park at a time when you do want a full-service site?
We have come across a few signs along the way saying "Overnighters Welcome: $10.00 no services. Sani dump $5.00"
