Can you camp at Wal-Marts....

I wanted to chime in and say to be sure to ask if considering overnighting at a Cracker Barrel - not all of them allow it - we've been told "no."

I heard Florida Walmarts don't allow it..

I have camped at Walmart once or twice when nothing else was readily available. I made the table into a bed and we slept there. I did not open up the wings.

We have opened up one tent end the front one. It can be opened without unhitching. Was a bit noisy and scary but free. Made French toast the next morning and used the shower. 3 kids on dinette and couch. 2 adults in tent end.

I have "overnighted"(not camped) at Walmart numerous times without problems. I would stay one night on my way to somewhere. I have never seen a tent or a trailer with the canvas slideout beds.
I would say. Whatever your in, make it as unobtrusive as possible.

I have stayed at some Walmart's where it really feels like a campground there are so many other people stopping for the night. I actually like that the best. Gives me the best nights sleep. Sometimes We are the only one there and I don't feel as secure. So I don't sleep as well. Now of course whether or not your any safer with other campers around I have no idea. But I will say I have never been bothered by anybody when over nighting at a Walmart.

We've slept overnight at a few different Wal-Marts around Jacksonville with no issues; of course we didn't ask, just parked near other RVs and thus assumed it was ok. We never open up the beds and really just sleep for a few hours, most was 6 I think.
