After a restful night in the Walmart parking lot in Miramar Beach Florida I heard a knock on the side of
our motorhome at around 6:30 AM. Saw a Walmart employee walking around outside our motorhome.
I opened the driver side exit door and said hello. The employee said over night parking is not allowed at this Walmart and asked me if anyone said anything the night before. I told her, "no, never heard anything". She told me I better leave before the boss arrived. I said, " I'm on my way" and left the parking lot in less than 5 minutes. Another motorhome was also there and asked to leave.
It was dark and late (around 9:00PM) when we found the Walmart on highway #98. While it was a newer Walmart store the parking lot was not large and it was not a super Walmart. I had already heard overnight parking at some Florida Walmarts was not allowed but they usually have signs posted in those cases. It is understandable in the more popular areas like Daytona. RV's would take over the place for some events.
We drove down highway #98 about 8 miles to Destin Florida and found a Super Walmart with a huge parking lot with a couple of RV's parked. My wife said, "let's pull into Walmart and have coffee", so we did. We noticed this Walmart had a Macdonalds inside so we went in and had breakfast. Had I known this Walmart was there, I would have gone there in the first place.
We have spent many nights at Walmart parking lots while traveling from Rockford to Florida and this was a first. We usually pull in around 9:00 PM, park out of the way, shop, leave at day break, no problems. It is all about convenience.
