Has anyone rated Walmart parking lot experiences?
Thinking about staying in a couple "no charge" lots heading to our destination Wondering if there is a thread rating these types of places. Feeling of safety? quiet? outdoor lighting?

When one chooses to stay at a Wal Mart it is generally not to "settle in" and enjoy the scenery.
It is mostly an overnight stop on a long trip to a destination. In my case I do it because I dont' want the hassle of checking in and getting set up in an RV park for one night.
In Wal Mart I don't have to disconnect my trailer, I have everything I need at my doorstep, all of my stays have been very quiet and safe.
What is not to like? I get in and out much faster than if I were in an RV Park.
What so much of this argument turns on is a subtle class distinction that some want to draw between them and others. Just look at he pic in the first posts of this thread to see that at play. Snark, elitism and class warfare all in one post.
Give me a break. Staying at Wal Mart or any other place similar, Casinos, Cabelas etc is just a means to an end for those of us who are not quite so taken with the grandeur of what we haul or where we stay.
