Mac - ask for the Wal-Mart Atlas. It lists all the Wal-mart locations. Usually it's in the book/magazine section, and you can find it at the checkouts also.

This is a great website that has a current list of Walmarts that DON'T allow overnight parking:

freecampgrounds.com

Let me re-phrase that. This is the specific web page for Walmarts that don't allow overnight pkg:

Free Campgrounds for RVs

Thank you for the info. We appreciate it very much.

How up to date is that website? I'm just curious about the validity of it because it doesn't list the Wal-Mart in Seabrook, NH that doesn't allow overnight camping.

IMHO, the most current Wal-Mart camping information can be found in the road atlas published by Wal-Mart.

Not to sound simple but when I was in Montery Co. I went into a local Grocery store made a few purchases and then asked to speak with the on-duty mgr...for permission... the answer was( of course you can) however the police may ask you to leave...he thought the city did have a law against overnighter's in parking lot's

He forgot to mention the parking lot sweeper's that start befor dawn... LOL

Well Mount Olive, NC, population 5,000 is about to change forever. Wal-mart just had a grand opening here. I expect all the mom and pop businesses to fade away, Mayberry is about to change forever. They had RV's spending the night in their lot before they even opened. I will have to check to see if they have an Atlas.

Progress? Maybe.

I was looking for something like this, but I can't find it anywhere there. Can you point me to it?
TIA

I had done this 3 years ago and to tell you the truth I could not find it tonight myself. It was free when I did it then but with many things today they farm them out. I have used the below link for other stores - if you go to their home page you will see them. The download is $5 but I am sure it's a good source. Good Luck, I'll keep looking for the free site.

I would think that staying at many Walmarts would be right up there with camping at a highway rest stop.
You see some strange individuals shopping at Walmarts these days.

I just want to know where the Wal-Marts are.

Wal-mart sells a version of the Rand-McNally atlas that has a list of stores in the front and I believe they are marked on the maps..
