You're looking at the wrong guy.Last March, he "might" have made his first post, but he's now got 238 posts. I don't think he's a spammer.

Yep. The BS I often hear is to buy some stuff at the Wal*Mart.but never one endorsed by Walmart Corporation or even a single store.
Yeah, I am kinda saying the same. If it makes you feel better, ask. But I feel better by NOT asking and bothering working people who have better things to do.Maybe its ok and maybe it aint but if i dont ask im afraid my mother will come down and smack me on the back of my head for forgetting my manners
Tom & I were boondocked out in the desert not far from Las Vegas. Down a dirt road a ways. Just before dark, a cop knocked. We then realized we could be seen from the freeway.I once had a private cop knock on my door at around 6:30 pm and say we were welcome to stay
Good point Gary, it's difficult to imagine how harried those customer service reps are, especially in Sam's Clubs, where it's defcon 1 code red from an hour after to opening to closing. Both Walmart and Sam's Clubs build zero redundancy into their staffing, meaning workers there are often up against unachievable expectations. If there's no sign, park it out on the perimeter, no one cares.Back in the day I used to go inside and ask, even though I had guides reporting that location did allow RV parking. After the 4th or 5th time getting blank stares from a Customer Service rep or hearing them call out "Hey Fred, this guy wants to know if we let RVs park", I decided I was wasting my time and theirs. But if I didn't know the status I would certainly ask, if only to avoid the hassle of being told to move at 11 pm!
I once had a private cop knock on my door at around 6:30 pm and say we were welcome to stay at that Walmart, but he recommended we move to another Walmart across town where it was "more quiet and safer". He said this neighborhood was pretty rough after dark. We moved.
This 100% is more bothersome to them than the RV parked over in the corner that will be gone by 9am. Most of the apps (RV parky, iOverlander) are up to date with reviews on which walmarts allow it and which do not. No need to go in and bother a manager.That's not a policy pal it's corporate cya, I worked there, trust me, the last thing the mgr. wants is to be called to the service desk to tell some graying dude in bermuda shorts, white socks and sandals, he can park his rv there overnight. If there's no sign park it and I promise nobody there will give a s*** one way or the other.
I find the ones that do NOT allow it, such as the WallyMart here in Flagstaff, have signs in the parking lot that say "no overnight parking allowed".are up to date with reviews on which walmarts allow it and which do not.
We've driven past this Walmart a few times, crossing over from the 5 to get to hwy 58 and have wondered about using this location for an overnight. Information on RV Parky says no, like every other Walmart in the San Joaquin Valley, so we just kept going.I am now Boondocked at the Wally*Mart in Wasco, CA (Hwy 46 near Hwy 99).
Then RV Parky is incorrect. Here it says yes to Wasco. And several other RVs were staying overnight there both times I stayed there.We've driven past this Walmart a few times, crossing over from the 5 to get to hwy 58 and have wondered about using this location for an overnight.

Permission from Wal*Mart may not be what is required where they have the "no overnight parking" signs. Cops can enforce the local laws on private property that is for public use. Wal*Mart would probably always allow overnight parking, but it is not up to them where the law says otherwise.but again permission was granted and we had a very comfortable overnight stay.
But the local store manager should knowPermission from Wal*Mart may not be what is required where they have the "no overnight parking" signs.

Perhaps should, but could not care less if the cops knock on your door at 0300 hrs. Wal*Mart is not the cops and the cops can enforce the local laws on WallyMart property.But the local store manager should know
Yep. How things should work and how they really do are rarely the samePerhaps should, but could not care less if the cops knock on your door at 0300 hrs. Wal*Mart is not the cops and the cops can enforce the local laws on WallyMart property.
But of course, this doesn't mean they will. Just if they have nothing better to do at 0300 hrs . . .
