There are many other freebie "walmart parking sites" but none of them contain the level of personal accounts that this site does. There is an excellent site for locating overnight parking places (where every location has been reviewed by real people/parkers for accuracy) at yes it costs some $20/year, but it is worth far more. So, parking for an overnight at Walmarts (or other places) while under way works very well for me. With that said, I am a long-distance RV'er usually traveling 400-600 miles a day. There are several Yahoo Walmart formus for that. I would encourage us to NOT get into a religious debate on this topic here.

We usually arrive around dark or shortly thereafter, find a spot away from the store, usually around other RVs, plop down & crash. We've stayed at WalMart's plenty of times. ![]()
