The map below shows the location of Walmart and Walmart Supercenter stores, Sam’s Club, and Neighborhood Market stores. It also displays the unofficial* overnight parking status. A green circle with a check mark indicates overnight parking is most likely allowed. A red circle with an “X” indicates the location has been reported as not allowing overnight parking.
If you have downloaded this map to your phone but want to remove it, follow these instructions.
*We use the term “unofficial” because this website is not owned or associated with Walmart, Inc. When seeking a Walmart location for overnight parking, the recommended procedure is to obtain permission from Walmart management by calling the store directly. Some RVers don’t do this for one reason or another; these RVers risk being disturbed during the night and being told to move on.
Bay City Walmart, 4600 7th St, Bay City, TX 77414
Saw the sign “No Parking, vehicle will be towed” but called anyway. Got an abrupt NO, then an even more abrupt hangup. No more RVs here now.
The Walmart on North in Grand Junction doesn’t allow overnight parking and they are really rude about it too. Couldn’t even give us 20 mins to figure out where to go before threatening us
I had an interesting encounter with management at the super center in Shakopee MN the other night. I go in to talk to the manager about ONP. Before getting the manager the person at the counter in a low voice told me if the incentives were right, exceptions have been known to be made. I picked up on that right away & said that I had a decent list if things I needed to buy, & I whip out a $50 bill & got a roll of the eyes, like that wasn’t going to be good enough, while walking away.
More than $50 to park for 6 hours? I had to look in the mirror & make sure SUCKER wasn’t written on my forehead.
I’m all about people coming up with creative ways to make xmas & birthdays a little nicer for the kids, but Management is lining their polyester pockets with this side hustle, & are gouging travelers hard to do it!
That’s not ok.
That’ll be the last time I step foot into a Walmart….even cancelled my Sams membership the following morning.

At least two other Walmart stores near the one in in Harvester, MO have “No Overnight Parking” signs, but they do allow ONP. The manager at one of these stores told me that sign – along with the tow warning sign underneath it – is there to allow them to tow abandoned vehicles.
The manager at Walmart #648 (1661 Jungermann Rd., St. Peters, MO) told me that *NO* overnight parking is allowed (neither trucks nor RVs), and as far as she knows, it never has been allowed at this location (which is a relatively new building for a store with such a low number).
6420 Also has no overnight parking allowed signs.
1847 Does not allow overnight parking
Shreveport #448 does not allow overnight parking. got the knock last night
Walmart #1452 SE Charlotte at Arboretum does not allow overnight parking
Walmart #2153 in Biddeford, ME, shows on the map as allowing overnight parking but a phone call this morning to the service desk (207-286-9551 option 0) said they do not allow it.
Likewise, Walmart #2202 in Windham, ME, shows as allowing ONP but does not allow it, per a phone call to the service desk.
Biddeford and Windham are the last of the Walmarts in southeast Maine that allowed ONP but now no longer allow it. Really sorry to see this trend. 🙁
itf you have a traveler trailer instead of parling some where its free go to a trailer park
like you should if you can afford a travel trailer you can park in a trailer lot
Oh ok…. cause you have the first clue as to anyone’s financial situation, ya twat.
Stayed at Sam’s Club 6686 in Salt Lake City UT – quiet and great to stay at.
We’ve been full-time RVing moving around the country for 5 years. Came upon WalmartLocator.com about 3-4 years ago and it is awesome. I am so grateful! We generally don’t bother to go in and ask if we can stay, but when when we have, it’s always been a yes.
That’s great to hear! I’m happy to hear this website has been such a big help for you! Thank you so much for the kind words
Store #5 in Conway, AR shows as Overnight Parking allowed. We were woken up by a tow truck driver just after midnight and told that only commercial vehicles are allowed to park there overnight, no RV’s. They made us move, but the tow driver did suggest the Lowe’s across the street, so we went there and had no issues.
Thank you for letting me know! I’m glad Lowe’s let you stay and I appreciate that the tow driver suggested them to you
I think most Walmarts have No Overnight Parking signs on the light poles along the far end of their parking lots. The three locations in my city did yet that didn’t stop travelers, truckers and some homeless from doing that until those started causing problems for the management. I used all three on a rotation basis for two months. Stayed at one four times then quit since I was the only one present after 2 AM. Stayed at one more often due to being closer to the self-storage place where I had a unit and my van parked. It also was close to a homeless encampment in city owned woods that city tolerated so had sketchy people walking thru at all hours and a long with oddballs parking there acting strange when outside their vehicles. They got me worried so stopped parking there at the end of April. That location also had an increasing number of the same people in RVs and vans staying there all day for a few days once a week. Now I stayed full time at the third location that had plenty of truckers and travelers staying overnight due to being one mile away from the interstate. Two weeks later I began to notice those that parked at the other location where showing up here. One told me that the city PD came in one day to run everyone out and returned after dark to chase away the overnight parkers. They’ve been continuing that practice since then. The PD and sheriff deputies cruise this lot scanning license plate numbers and stopping to tell the owners to get current tags and insurance within 30 days. Those that don’t end up placing their belongings in a shopping cart before their vehicles are towed away. There were five of us retired local guys staying here that were left alone since we checked in with the PD before starting to live in our vehicles at Walmart parking lots. We call the store when we see homeless bums walking by parked cars checking to see if they’re locked then going inside to loot when doors are unlocked. A few weeks ago the location put up new signs about booting and towing vehicles parked on the lot then left unattended, up on jack stands being repaired, with For Sales signs and staying overnight (cars, RVs, semi rigs). For some reason they left up their old warning signs that mention a towing service that went out of business in 2012. Fewer are parking here overnight but haven’t seen the PD running anyone off since the first day those new signs went
up. I woke up at 3 AM to voices, which was the cops talking to truckers by one of the signs. The truckers returned to their rigs and pulled out. The cops waved at me as they walked back to their squad cars. My car had been broken down for a week so had it towed to the self-storage place to swap places with my van. Now I park on the other side of the lot where the employees park during the day and night. There was a lot of shady activity going on here during the first five months I stayed here. Drug sales, sex trade, stuff being sold out of trunks or vans. That came to an end during the day then at night as the cops drove up on them with their squad lights off. I shop inside the store all the time where I’m acknowledged as one of the bums living out on the parking lot. So far nobody has to me stop doing that so will continue the practice as long as possible. I have applications in at several income assisted senior housing complexes so have been waiting to hear from one of them for the past six years.
Very interesting read, thank you for sharing!
Hi, I’ve checked out your website and thoroughly enjoy it and certainly appreciate it. Thank you! But I am not sure how to initiate my own question post or how to change information that is on your site when I have found information that has changed.
For instance, the Walmart in Dry Ridge, Kentucky is marked no overnight, but I called the store and verified that they actually do allow. I have stayed here two separate nights while visiting the Ark Encounter in Williamstown. but I do not know how to file an update on the map to eliminate the red X.
if you will let me know how to do that, I would be happy to or you can change it if you wish, but that would still be good information to have.
Thank you again!
Hey there! Thank you for the kind words, feel free to leave a comment on any page you are on if you have questions and I will be sure to answer them to the best of my ability!

walmart store #2084 in Bozeman MO doesn’t aloud overnight parking and camping any more.
Thank you for the info!
Oxford, Maine does not allow overnight parking. You might be able to sneak one night in but then you’ll have to scoot.
Thank you for letting me know!
I have seen designated park overnight spots at sporting/camping stores with campers lined up for the night after 5 pm.. maybe another resource to be listed. some casinos do it too if you shop there.
The Walmart at 725 Gold St, Manchester, NH 03103 DOES NOT allow overnight parking, or parking anytime other than employees and customers. They do not allow RV’s, cars or tractor trailers to park in their lot at any time unless they are working or shopping.
Thank you for the update!
hello,
the walmart in Fairbanks AK doesn’t allow overnight any more. this because of a RVer that has emptied his/her blackjack on the parking lot. luckily the Home Depot allows max 24 hour parking.
Thank you for the info!
The Timberville, VA Walmart (#6952) shows on the map as allowing overnight parking but when I called, the customer service person said they don’t allow it. I’m not sure she really understood what I was asking… I had to explain what an “RV” is… and maybe she said “no” because that’s the most effortless answer to give.
All of the other Walmarts near I-81 between Martinsburg, WV and Woodstock, VA, that show on the map as allowing, did confirm that they do allow it.
Also ALL of the Cracker Barrels near I-81 between Hagerstown, MD and Staunton, VA, also report as allowing overnight parking. AND they answer their phones, first attempt. Sometimes it’s like pulling teeth to reach a human at Walmart, although I will say it’s been better since the pandemic was declared over.
Any thoughts about adding Cracker Barrel locations to your map? 🙂
I will try to call the Timberville, VA Walmart at some point and see if I get a different response. Not knowing what an RV is kind of shows me that they don’t even know for sure what their own rule is about overnight parking since having an RV or trailer is step one for staying the night! Like you said, a “no” might’ve just been the easiest response but I will see if I can get someone else to give me a solid answer. Regarding adding Cracker Barrel locations to the map, that map is just for Walmart and Sam’s Club locations since both are apart of Walmart Inc. However, we do have a list of all Cracker Barrel locations in the U.S. under the “Cracker Barrel – NEW!” tab and if they allow overnight parking. Now whether or not I turn that into a map of its own is to be determined but I do not have any plans for that at the moment. Thank you for all your help!
At Walmart #1514 in Arnold, MO, signs are posted all around the parking lot stating that overnight parking is prohibited by city ordinance.
Thank you! I appreciate it

I take that back, he does patrol, making life easier I’m sure…
According to Google Maps it definitely does look closed, is that accurate to say? I will remove it if it is. And thank you in advance for the information!
Definitely closed, thank you!
>> When seeking a Walmart location for overnight parking, the recommended

One reason is that some Walmarts don’t answer the phone! As part of my pre-trip planning I try to call all the Walmarts anywhere near my overnight stops. Often it is very difficult to impossbile to reach a human on the phone.
This was especialy bad during the pandemic but hasn’t improved measurably since.
Thank you for all your valuable information that you shared! I have updated the website in all areas to reflect the information you had. And yeah, I run into that issue all the time when I try to call and confirm whether or not overnight parking is allowed at their stores. Usually someone picks up the phone after 3-5 minutes of non stop ringing and other times the ringing ends and I have to repeat the process until someone answers. It’s a headache for sure, hoping it will get better in the future but for now a clear answer is hard to get from them.
The Walmart in Sanford, Maine (#1954) showa on the map as “conflicting information” regarding overnight parking. I called Customer Service and they confirmed that they definitely do not allow overnight parking. They said they “don’t even allow their own tractor-trailer trucks” to park there overnight.
Sam’s Club in Scarborough, ME shows as allowing overnight parking but they do nor, per a phone call today to Customer Servie.
Walmarts in Rochester (#2330) and Somersworth (#1749) in Massachusetts show on the map as allowing overnight parking but do not, per a phone call today to Customer Service.
New Hampshire, not Massachusetts, sorry about that…
You’re all good, I figured that might’ve been the case so no harm done!
The Walmart in Junction City, KS on Chestnut (Latitude 39.0216 Longitude -96.821) is shown as “ALLOWS” overnight parking. They do not, but the Cracker Barrel does right down the road!
Thank you! Cracker Barrel is a great spot to park! Good food too
The West Reno Walmart (Latitude 39.529, Longitude -119.7824) had “no overnight truck or RV parking” signs up when I stopped by there after dark last night. I didn’t see any RVs parked there.
Thank you!
Walmart in galvaston, Tx. told me on the phone they don’t allow overnight parking. The “manager” was marginally courteous.
Thank you for the update!
there’s a brosnan security truck circling the Walmart lot at store #3297… 12353 FM 1960 RD W in NW house. it’s green on this map but brosnan is usually a bad sign.
that would be *NW Houston…
Thank you! I appreciate it. Just called to confirm, they do not allow overnight parking. Security trucks are definitely a bad sign!
Walmart 454 Fairfield, IL just told me on phone they do not allow RV parking but it’s listed here as allowed.
Thank you for the update! I have updated the map to show not allowed

Store 1935, south of Johnstown, PA — just rolled in but big NO overnight parking signs with $200 fee warnings all over the lot and a security guard patrolling… wouldn’t risk it here. Will try the one 30 mins south instead
the Walmart at 2150 Wilkes Barre Twnsp Mktpl, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702 not only allows onp but last night when I arrived it looked like an RV park. also has an area for trucks.
Good luck trying to call any of these Walmarts to check on current ONP policies. I’ve spent the last 4 hours calling every Walmart from Hagerstown MD to Roanoke VA, that is listed here as allowing ONP. After several tries I was able to reach a person at four of them. All the rest, the phone just rings and rings and no one answers. I know we’re supposed to call first and check but how do you do that when no one answers their phones?
Of the four at which I was able to reach a person (#2790 in Hagerstown MD, #4423 in Martinsburg WV, and #3344 and #4514 in Winchester VA), all of them confirmed that they (still) allow ONP. I’m still trying to reach someone at the rest of them and will report back with any results.
Richardson Texas, the Walmart on coit and Arapaho has signs for no overnight parking
In contrast to Walmart, I called all of the Cracker Barrels between Hagerstown and Roanoke. All of them answered the phones quickly and efficiently and all of them enthusiastically allow and encourage ONP at their restaurants. I just wish there were more Cracker Barrels around (there is a grand total of ONE of them in all of New Hampshire and one in Maine).
I wouldn’t call ahead. I’d go inside to buy something to eat and take it outside and cook it… fall asleep, you know, the get up and drive off to my next destination.
This isn’t meant to be a jab and any person. Have a bit of “walk a mile in my shoes” for the managers. Their job isn’t to answer a bunch of phone calls every night about RV permission. They are under a lot of stress from under performing employees, employee sick time, customer complaints, safety and theft. At the same time they could inform their employees of the policy or add a phase in any automated greeting.
You went full circle on that one.
Does anyone maintain a count of Walmarts that allow ONP vs those that don’t? It would be interesting to see a chart of those that allow vs those that don’t over, say, the past 5 or 10 years, to show a clear trend that I’m guessing wouldn’t be very encouraging for the future of Walmart overnight parking.
The WalMart in Homeland Park, Anderson, South Carolina does allow you to stay overnight until the property manager comes along. This store doesn’t own the parking lot, ShopCore does.
Petoskey Michigan does not allow overnight parking

Williston Vermont Walmart is cracking down on overnight parking. Police said you can’t park there and the “owner” of the lot said you couldn’t either.

Just found myself homeless at the age of 69. Have an income-assisted apartment lined up that will be available in 120 days so will be living in my car until then. Am lucky to have 3 Supercenters, a Sam’s and a truck stop in town where I can sleep at night so will rotate my stays between them. Also have a ’88 Chevy work van parked at a self-storage place where I have a unit so can use it while leaving the car.
God bless you my friend. I hope you are oksy. I have found myself homeless at 65 and no where to turn.

Good morning everybody, I have a different kind of question that I’m hoping somebody can help me with. I somehow managed to go from the Walmart locator site to my Google maps by a click and now my Google map is full of all the Walmart locations all around the country. I’ve tried doing a new search in Google maps, shutting it down and rebooting, shutting the phone down and rebooting, even gone through the Walmart locator website, still no luck. I can’t figure out how to clear that off.
Has anyone else had this issue or is in some way familiar with what to do? Sure would appreciate any help.
Thanks and have a great day!
An email was sent to you with instructions on how to remove the Walmart locations from the Google Maps app on your phone.
Thank you so much! I just opened my Google maps without having done anything yet, and all the locations are now no longer present. But I haven’t done anything.
I haven’t had my Google maps opened in a few days now, maybe it just needed some time? ♀️
The first sentence in your instructions said to remove the location icons from your map, did you mean the Google maps or the map on the Walmart locator page?
I’m just wondering in the event this happens again.
But I absolutely love the Walmart locator, so handy! I’m sticking it out and hopefully this will work itself out.
Maybe it already has?! 🙂
Thank you again so very much!
Sorry for the delay in responding. The instructions referred to removing locations from your cell phone and the Google Maps app, not the Walmart Locator website.
Hi, will that happen to all of us that downloaded?
Would you please email the same link to me?
Thank you
To remove the Walmart locations layer from your phone’s Google Maps app, follow these instructions. First, select the “Map Layer” icon near the top-right. This shows options for displaying various map types and details. Near the bottom in the Explore pane, select the “Walmart Locator” icon to turn off this layer.
I went there yesterday and was told they do not allow overnight parking.
Can you be specific? You don’t mention what store you visited and told overnight parking was not allowed. Thanks.

I called the Auburn (Lewiston) Maine Walmart and they do NOT allow overnight RV parking. It took all of yesterday afternoon and about half of this morning to reach anyone who could answer the question. This seems to be a problem at most Walmarts… getting anyone to answer the phone is well-nigh impossible. But I finally did reach someone and the answer is NO.
On the plus side, Augusta and Rockland (ME) both confirm that they do allow overnight RV parking.
Allstays.com reports that the Brunswick ME Walmart is NO overnight parking. I’m trying to call them to confirm but can’t get anyone to answer the phone. Will report back if I am able to reach anyone in store management.
After trying for a full afternoon and half of the next morning I finally got in touch with an assistant manager. He reports that the Brunswick ME Walmart definitely does NOT allow overnight parking. How do I go about getting walmartlocator.com to revise their map?
Dubuque, IA store is ok. We called & customer rep said park on side by Lowes. We did and even though there was a sign that said no overnite parking, no one bothered us.

Apparently the East Kearney Walmart in Springfield Missouri doesn’t allow overnight parking anymore. Was there yesterday and Security sent everyone down the road when the store closed. Please update the map.
its starting to get ugly between walmart employees and overnighters in KS, OK, and especially AR. they wake you up any way they can at all hours. its kind of like a game for the overnite walmart employees. i have my handicap placards clearly visible and it seems to make me an even bigger target for them. its a shame that walmart employs people like this. im not even going to shop at walmart anymore. oh and this happened to me at several green checked locations in these 3 states (i only try to park there if theres a green check). oh and im travelling in a minivan not even an RV or a TRUCK
8001 US 19 in Pinellas Park, FL is a no go. Police have trespass authorization and there is a local ordinance that is arrestable.
I looked it up and lodging in a motor vehicle is prohibited anywhere in the city (even a driveway) other than a designated campground or RV park.
The police said there are serious crime and safety issues taking place and they are being swarmed with van lifers and dockers. They didn’t arrest us, but we were given an ordinance citation and trespassed from the Walmart property.
Stay clear of Pinellas Park entirely.
Both, Pasco County and Pinellas County in Florida are enforcing the ordinance. I was informed by two Officers at the Oldmar Walmart on 9/11/22 while sleeping in my car.
Store 5091 in cypress TX is a “no” – we asked the store manager and they said they do not allow overnight RV parking. We stayed at a Cracker Barrel right down the road with no problems though.
Although there was a green check mark and in the description it states that overnight parking is permitted, the Walmart in Fresno doesn’t allow it. We were awakened in the night by a security guard to inform us that they don’t allow overnight parking. He was gracious to let us stay, but told us we would have to leave by 0800.
There is more than one location identified as allowing overnight parking. What specific store told you it was not allowed?
8001 US HWY 19 N, Pinellas park FL, does not allow overnight parking along with the sams club down the street from it, had a few officers tell me it’s illegal to sleep anywhere in the city limits of Pinellas Park FL
The only one in Fresno with a green check. Also, the one in Merced,CA ( although a green check and description says a yes) woke us early in the am to say no overnight parking due to covid
Walmart in Pinellas park FL does not allow overnight camping please fix it, they didn’t even have security say anything they just called the cops and I get a knock on my door and my van is surrounded by 4 cop cars and officers everywhere, they told me you can’t lodge anywhere in the pinellas county unless it’s a campground, and almost threatened to charge me with trespassing
Sam’s Club in Plattsburgh, NY store #6456 is listed as ok, but when I called to ask, the person said they have “No Overnight Parking” signs in the lot.
Store 1436 Greenacres FL: This store does not allow RV overnight parking. We were warned on Dec 24 2021 by security. Security also told us there was a sign at the entrance (although we did not see it when we arrived). Please update you site accordingly.
Framingham, Massachussets: we stayed there overnight on 12/7/21. There was one other RV there, an assortment of cars, and several commercial trucks. The signs say No Overnight Parking, but no one came around to check. My son-in-law says he sees cars and trucks there at night “all the time”, and his company has sometimes left their trucks there. The area to park in is along Rte. 9 at the corner of a small street that I think is called Caldor St. You’ll see others there.
I don’t know what they do on nights when it’s snowing.
The Walmart in Clearlake, CA does NOT allow overnight parking. We were approached by security within about 30 seconds of pulling in to the parking lot.
The Walmart on Amergosa in Victorville, CA is marked with an x on the map. Have not seen any ‘NO OVER NIGHT PARKING’ signs I have a minivan & have parked/slept there quite a few times. There’s usually 2 or 3 big motor homes several pickups & misc sized cars & SUV”s there. I have even slept in a front handicap spot, security trucks go by with flashing lights, I know they’ve seen me. Knock on wood but no one has said anything or even slowed down. It’s a good area. I have always felt safe here. Being a woman alone at 67, that’s always a good thing! You have to be real close for WIFI to connect. 1st or 2nd space up in front.
SWEET DREAMS & HAPPY TRAVELING everyone!
I just inquired about overnight parking at a Walmart for the first time and I thought I’d share the information learned and impressions.
Using the map I saw that Store #2814 (Miami area) was listed as permitting overnight parking. When I arrived at 7:30pm (Monday) I saw there were several dozen high-roof vans and a few semi-trucks in the lot. I didn’t see any “no overnight parking” or “no camping” signs.
Realizing that the map listing on this site isn’t anything official from Walmart and that Walmart’s in big cities are less likely to permit overnight parking, I decided to ask for permission.
From everything I have read over the years, you are supposed to ask the “store manager”. As a business person, I’ve always thought that to be a strange concept because THE store manager doesn’t work every hour that the store is open and they are presumably a busy person.
Regardless, with a cart full of items I had just purchased I asked the security person if she knew if the manager was available and that I’d like to ask him or her if it would be okay to park my van in the lot overnight. She said to talk to customer service.
I waited in the customer service line and repeated my spiel, asking if the manager is available.
Not to my surprise at all, they didn’t summon the “store manager”. The customer service rep responded by asking if it was a car, and that a car would probably be okay. I repeated that it is a van. She then asked a co-worker, who may have been the on-duty manager or a customer service supervisor, or maybe just a more experienced co-worker – she was working behind the customer service counter.
The 2nd person said, “No, if you are there too long security will tow your vehicle. Mainly they just have problems with truck though”. She said I could ask the person in the security truck, it’s really up to them.
When I went outside I didn’t see anybody in a security truck, though it was a big lot and still a lot of cars so maybe they were around somewhere.
In any event, it seems like this Walmart falls into a grey area. I’m not advocating to delist this site as green unless that’s customary when this happens. I highly suspect if I had parked there for one night it would have been fine and that’s probably why there were all those high-roof vans there. It seems like the issue is store management is leaving it to the discretion of security rather than having a clear policy about it. Security may not care if it’s 1 night, but if so, the person I talked to wasn’t equipped to make that distinction.
Has anyone else run into this kind of grey area situation?
they mainly have problems with trucks.
The Walmart Supercenter in Avon Park does not allow overnight parking, they called the police on us. Do not try it there! Rude Manager and Security!
After Elk Grove it gets nasty, don’t stop at any of these Walmarts – I’m guessing until Fresno or Bakersfield! I bloody accidently crossed the Mexican Border – overnighting in Merced CA, there is security and they have yet to harrass me but I don’t see RVs or big rigs. I gotta get back to the USA border. I think I’m in Ensenada b/c this Walmart on Olive street or what-ev looks like a warehouse. Stock piles of unpacked boxes in the walk ways galore, the womens bathroom smell like Ensenada beach (rotten tuna), for a small parking lot it has two big brother security stands <<>>but, Hebrew!
My comment got cut off…I’m done commenting!
Stockton, California Walmart off Highway 99 doesn’t allow overnight RV Parking, they’re only allowed to park away from the Walmart up until 11pm, when it closes, then they have to go. The security truck driver knocked on my window last night around midnight and told me the Lowes Home Improvement across the street seems to allow overnight parking for RVs. He was saying the managers don’t want to see RV’s at all, day or night.. that’s a bit rough since during the day it’s open for business to the public, RVers or otherwise…
I meant to add the Walmart off Highway 99 store number is 1554 on Hammer Lane in Stockton, California.. it doesn’t allow RV overnight parking, only parking is allowed during their open business hours from 6am until 11pm. Apparently Lowes Home Improvement, across the street is ok for RV overnight parking.. so far
I’m overnighting at Walmart; Elk Grove on Elk Grove BLVD. Again, no security <<<that is the key! I blend in well w/a small car I saw some larger vehicles on the side of presciption pick up but aways more. I don't think Walmart is restricting overnight stay at any of their locations…I get the feeling it's the towns ordinances. They think they will keep away bad characters not realizing they are the bad characters and new lunatics!
Yreka CA was an easy stay but not very nice place. Walmart is struggling their w/lack of good workers so long crazy lines…and, as always – take heed to some of the harassing Walmart employees, targeting travelers and homeless people. The idea is to run off both. Bloody sad commentary in our times. It’s done very nonchalauntly by parking right next to you an identified vehicle w/someone resting in it; the harasser will boom their distasteful music loud and they find another employee to join by yelling at each other across the parking lot – all of this they choose to park next to you out of the entire bloody parking lot Walmart so kindly provides. Redding has security. Anderson is very highly recommended for overnighting, the place is nice. Skip Red Bluff no matter what – no morals, selfish, stupid customers. Utter monsters. Both customers and Walmart employees are rude outside the lot – harassers, and unsafe people. I could swear I was in little mexico but w/white people…WTF!
I am in Grants Pass, OR – A town…not as nice as Roseburg…sigh! This Walmart has security so I didn’t risk it. It’s utter nonsense this town has done this b/c the weather is tough, the mountains are like nothing I’ve ever seen before and I’m well traveled. These mountains are worse than a rollercoaster ride; enough to burn you out mentally in one hour, forget about going over them in the snow – even though I’m doing this route on a failing shifting E Solenoid (tranny) – my Toyota has well over 400,000+ miles. I found a 24 hour store across the street to overnight it, saw a cop twice but I’m still good b/c I blend in well.
I am overnighting it at Roseburg, OR. The map was X’d out. I looked for security flashing lights, ah…nah – no security! I parked near employees, they can’t really see me, my car is small & it’s only me. There are very few RVs way down at the far end of the building. With a roller coaster like steep hill the elevation is 500 give or take & it’s about to get much worse, like 4,000 feet up the Sysciyou. Had car trouble after Cottage Grove, OR. I stopped by Drain, OR near a Pilot truck stop at an auto repair & long tow shop (Loughhead’s Automotive on Ceder St – they saved me in many ways even financially. Honest sweet & smart people.
I am at Cottage Grove, OR Walmart overnighting it, waiting to pass the Sysciyou mountains…so far so good! The key to the Walmart locations you have x’d out is to nonchalauntly ask if they have security or keep an eye out right before dark and you should see them if not the likely of being bothered goes way down. Park next to overnight workers if you have a car, blend in. There are RVs and Trucks parked here too. Wifi is not so hot unless you’re up close.
Anyone in Southern California?
Last time we were there the more rural dessert cities allowed parking. They were all nice about it too.
Perris, California
Riverside, California
Hemet, California
Those are the ones we went too and they were very polite and no one bothered us. We parked in the far end of the parking lot under a tree so in the morning it didn’t get too hot before we were ready to leave.
Also in Hemet, California is a quiet rv park. They allowed us to park in our van and set up a tent. We stayed there about a month while I temporarily got a job at Ross Distribution Center which is a factory in Perris, California. Did this to increase our funds.
Also stayed at Perris Lake Campgrounds but you have a maximum stay and must leave for a certain amount of time before you can go back.
It’s nice there and the bathrooms/showers are clean, staff is nice and it’s usually quiet there & reasonably priced.
Hope this helps anyone planning to stay in these areas.
At Perris Campgrounds we would go park in the parking lot and take our backpacks like we were hiking and go to the showers in an area not occupied by campers so we could get in and out without being noticed and get a hot shower in. Only had to pay a few dollars to get into the park. But definitely worth it!
Went in and got permission and a couple of hours later, security, very aggressively told me to leave, telling me I didn’t get permission, that he’s security, and I’m just saying whatever I want. Luckily, though the store was closed 20 minutes earlier, I immediately called and the assistant manager picked up the phone and after I shakily explained what happened, she went and talked to him. Mesa AZ location.
There are multiple locations in Mesa, most identified as not allowing overnight parking. What store in particular are you referring to? If I read your comment correctly, you were allowed to park because you obtained permission from store management.
Walmart store #666 in Sebring, FL called the cops on us made us leave. I travel Alot and sleep on the road cheaply but spend a ton of money at Walmart. How rude.
Store 91 in Forest City Arkansas does not allow RV’s now.
Any Highway Patrol officer will advise you to pull over anywhere it is safe and sleep if you are too tired to drive and that includes ANY Walmart parking lot in any city in America.
I disagree. You cannot park on private property just because you are too tired to drive.
Yep typical American lemme just disagree with highway patrol LMFAO what a joke
I would get the cop to escort me to a safe place !
Walmart store #2404 in San Antonio has signs that say no RV parking.
Also the walmart at 9550 Mansfield road in Shreveport La has signs that say no overnight parking.
Fishkill, NY –
Walmart and Sams
