When you ‘go where the wind takes you’, you never know where you’ll be when the sun goes down. BUT you do know there will be a Walmart near by!
Did you know most Walmart stores will let adventure seeking RV-ers park in their lots over night?
I had no idea, but it seems like most people we tell, already know.
But just in case you are in the dark, like me, here’s the lowdown on parking your RV in a Walmart parking lot:
Straight from the Walmart site’s FAQs page…
Can I park my RV at a Walmart store?
While we do not offer electrical service or accommodations typically necessary for RV customers, Walmart values RV travelers and considers them among our best customers. Consequently, we do permit RV parking on our store parking lots as we are able. Permission to park is extended by individual store managers, based on availability of parking space and local laws. Please contact management in each store to ensure accommodations before parking your RV.
Smart, right?
Because the next morning when us wild-RV-lovers realize we are out of milk in our Glamper, we can just bee-bop into Walmart for some milk and some cookies and some socks and some… you get the idea.
I was skeptical.
And I thought we were going to get murdered the first night.
True Story.
We didn’t.
And there were other Glampers parked as well. Normal people, like us.
We ended up staying in a few Walmart parking lots throughout our RV Adventure. And we only got kicked out of one.
True story.
But that’s a whole other blog post. Involving hippies.
Stay tuned for more.

When my mom RV’d across the country for a living, she always stayed at WalMart. Mighty convenient, even in PJ’s. 😉

I’ve seen RVs there – but didn’t know that it was legally allowed! So cool.
