Walmart no longer an option?

Our local Wal-mart (Ontario, Oregon) is displaying this sign after years of having lots of RVs in their parking lot.



Is anyone else seeing this, and are all Wal-Marts following this pattern?

  • Rv parks complain to city council that they are losing money. City council capitulates and viola. New signs. Don't blame Walmart they just have to follow the law. Blame the Rv parks. I remember that happened in Prince George B.C so everyone going to Alaska told council they didn't need to stop in P.G. Well all the fuel stations and restaurants complained so they rescinded the ban. Power to the $$$ for sure.
  • First one I ever saw was in Oregon, but on the Coast. It's not at all Walmarts.

    People don't need RVs to look sketchy.
  • One sign is not a trend. Lots of Walmarts in Florida have them due to abuse.
  • I don't blame them !
    Too many people took advantage of their generosity and ruined it for the ones who just stopped as a last minute resort.

    I have read here over the years where people actually planned their trips by stopping at Walmarts because they are too cheap to pay for a night or two at a rv park or campground.
    I hope that every Walmart across the country does the same.
