I have to comment on this as one that has stayed at "Chateau Wal-Mart" on several occasions...
I do so more for convenience.. After leaving the house by 6am (beat traffic thru Detroit) - by 3pm I am looking for a place to stop. Typically find a Wal-Mart an hour or so ahead - call and ask for permission and where they want me to park, and get there around 4.
I don't "set up". Don't extend jacks, slides, awnings... Just park. And don't have to unhook the toad to back into a site (or be limited to those parks with 'pull through'). I always go to the service desk to say hi and thank them for the privilege. And always buy dinner plus other items (so it isn't cheaper.. In park I'd just eat what I have on board..)
I am typically back on road before sunrise - something that would be disruptive to neighbors in the park.
