walmart overnight parking

I always call ahead, as noted earlier you never know when a policy has changed due to anything from new local regulations or maybe parking-lot repaving.

But I don't understand this insistence on talking to the "manager." Surely he or she has better things to do, and surely all the employees know their store's policy. I just call the store's phone number and ask the person who answers the phone, "Does your store allow overnight parking for customers who have RVs?" This has never gone wrong.

My Nephew is a store manager and he sez , do not ask me , just park out off the way ! If the city does not like it we will ask you to move . Corporate policy bows to local ordinances .

Agree

I don't think I've ever stayed at Walmart overnight for less than 25-----30 bucks

It aint free

Walmart is by far the most expensive campground I've ever stayed at. :B

^^^^^^ THIS! ^^^^^^^
#1. Be respectful with the store staff and ask, don't assume!!! If you are told it isn't allowed, if not offered an alternative, ask if they know of options.

#2. Shop! Maybe just snacks for the evening, but Wal-Mart is a business.

#3. Limit your stay! keep it to about 8 hours or less, you are just there for rest, not camping.

another Cracker Barrel vote. close at 10 .. open at 6. most park behind the building. less noise. no traffic.

Hired patrol by car.
free US map with locations with and without overnight. and phone numbers.

I refuse to shop at Walmart so I don't think it's right for me to use their parking lot. We use Cracker Barrel when possible. Great place for breakfast before hitting the road.

6200 miles on a recent trip, used a Cabela's in Avon Ohio and of course Cracker Barrels along the way. We always check with a manager prior to parking it out their for your stay. We have also used truck stops, ask a restaurant owner after your dinner, etc. We also utilize our Passport America membership as well as Good Sam. We stayed in three places along our journey with P A and paid $11, $16, and $$$???. Flushed and filled as well, had electric too! Some of the sporting goods places will allow like cabela's. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !

very few West Coast Walmarts allow overnight parking, usually because of city ordinances.

some of the inland ones, in more rural areas, do allow it.
