If there is one single Walmart along the path we took that would have let us stay, which one is it? I didn’t find any. I ask you, how could this be true when every single Walmart turned us down, around 30-40 of them and all we contacted. I told him my story, and all he could do was give me your email address, and say there has not been ant official change listed.īut what really annoys me is you telling the public “You Welcome RV’s” when this does not seem true. I also just called Walmart help number and the guy that answered told me again that RV’s could stay at most all Walmarts. But I am also free to decide rather to spend money and shop at Walmart or not. I then went into the Prescott store and politely asked at the service counter and was now told that “No, the police would not tow you, but the corporate view has changed and we can no longer let RV’s park over night.” True or not, that was what I was told over and over all across the USA.īut I do not have a problem with Walmart saying “No RV’s over night”, you own the stores, you are free to do whatever you want. In Prescott, AZ I was even told the local police would have us towed after the store closed! So, I called the police station and asked them about this, told me “No, that is not true we would never tow someone off of private property”. We were told every single time without exception “No we do not let RV’s stay overnight”, and they blamed it on the corporate level. We either stopped at, or called, every Walmart store we were close to and very politely asked if there was any place we could park a small RV on their parking lot over night. We left Tucson, AZ 10-1-23 (returned 11-27-23) pulling a small trailer and drove to northern AZ, then zigzagged across the country going through many small and big towns like Albuquerque, Saint-Louis, Little Rock, Huston TX, Galveston, El Paso and back to Tucson. However, you say in your advertising how you love RV people, but in real life nothing seems to me farther from the truth. I read on your website how you “value and welcome RV’s”, and will let RV’s park over night and qualify it with “Permission extended by individual managers, based on availability, etc”. However, I now have an issue with the store. We have been a loyal customer for 50 years. My wife worked at Walmart in Jefferson City, MO for over 5 years and even knew Sam Walton in person back then. Of the ~35 or so Walmarts we called, and some we went in and very politly asked in persone, “none” let us park. All trademarks and copyrights are owned by their respective owners.

That’s why it is important to ask management for permission to park. It is possible to speak with different managers at the same store on the same day and receive different answers regarding overnight RV parking. Some managers may not allow overnight RV parking because of previous bad experiences while others may choose to allow it. Permission to park is granted by individual store managers. In these cases, landlords may prohibit overnight RV parking. In some cases, Walmart is only a tenant and does not own the property their store is located on nor do they own the parking lot. Oftentimes local ordinances prohibit overnight RV parking. Of the 4,000 or so stores nationwide, more than 1,000 prohibit overnight RV parking for one reason or another.
