while many may 'report' that their local walmart restricts overnight RV parking, the real truth is that few, very few, if any, care if you park there overnight. Some local ordinances require some signage to 'scare away' big semi-trucks and such, we've never run into any Walmart, even with signage, who minded us being there, along with the other many RVs. We even see sheriff and police cars drive by - they also don't care...they are not there to hassle RVrs.
Just pull in, find an out-of-the-way spot, close to the outside curb, if possible, or even on the side of the store where less traffic happens. Most will say to not put out your slide(s), but again, we've never had any Walmart, HD, Lowes, Church, or any other business or large parking lot care. Asheville's Walmart parking lot security actually 'welcomed' us and asked how many nights we were staying!

We're actually waking up to an overnight just N of Atlanta, in a huge movie theater parking lot, from a long drive from FLorida yesterday... no one around, no one to care, and it's like your own RV park...all to yourself.


As long as RVrs are considerate, park out-of-the-way, and don't 'look' like they are camping...I don't think these parking option will go anywhere soon - especially if you are shopping there anyway.
