I did a Google search and from what I can tell 23% of Walmarts do NOT allow camping. It usually the City that prevents it. The other 77 % still allow it. On their official web site there is a link that posts those stores that don't allow it.

I don’t know any person who ever camped at a Walmart. I don’t even know any person who even thought of camping at Walmart. I’ve never heard this idea til just now.

Pretty much every town with a population over 10k

I think you are wrong on that

The camping is kind of a gray area. Most places would rather let the truckers rest instead of trying to drive when they are too tired. The only places them parking is an issue is big truck stops where they attract lot lizards.

Same goes for RVs.

It's big in areas where snowbirds go through to get to Florida.

Just overnight because you need a big area to park.

Canadians cross the border and will camp overnight before heading south.

My brother and his wife do it all the time. I think it’s embarrassing as hell.

I think you aren't supposed to sleep at roadside rests either but that is also something that they turn a blind eye to.

Just overnight because you need a big area to park.

...or because you are too cheap to stay at a campground...

Why? They only need a quick place to sleep overnight.

Its a very handy place to pull over for the night if you are on the road just packing miles on between destinations. Its only for overnight not as a camping destination-heaven forbid. I've done it a couple of times and its really convenient. There are other places that allow it also. I believe Bass Pro is one that does.

There may not be a campground nearby. Or if there are it may not have room anyway.

That’s what hotels are for.

Pretty much white trash and people older than dirt.

We have more campgrounds than we need around here.

Makes sense. I don’t know anyone with an RV. Kinda jumped into the conversation. Get some food, propane, bang the old lady, then do some Christmas shopping. I’m in.

Some of the RV’s are worth more than your house.

As long as they aren't a nuisance and do things like dump their garbage or sewage they shouldn't care.

Lol. Why would someone pay for a hotel when they're driving/pulling one?

Or be a decent human being and pay $20 and use a good sam.

That's why I added and really old people.
