Every day another Walmart puts up a sign "NO overnight parking".
Why?
Because a few choose to RUIN it for everyone else who use what was a courtesy on the behalf of Walmart to offer parking for what was for an RV in case of an emergency or becoming tired while driving at night.
So every time you see these RV's parked and all set up as "IF" they are at a CG that make a Walmart their destination stay......thank them for having yet another Walmart close their lots to responsible people.
When enough locals start complaining about people camping in their Walmart parking lots where they shop with their families, is when the OWNERS of the Walmart, not the managers will close the lots to RV overnight parking. It's that simple and is happening to more and more of them closing their lots.
THAT is why there is so much disdain to new Rv'ers that think they should be able to make a Walmart parking their 'destination' camp ground. If you have money for an RV you should have money to go to a safe CG with your family or perhaps change your hobby.
I am an RV'er and I do not want to see people 'setting up camp' in my local Walmart parking lot. Most parking lots today already have enough unscrupulous people lurking around, don't need them able to be living there too.:(
