Michael, yes, you can stay at many Walmarts, local ordinances permitting. Unfortunately, we are seeing too many bad actors spoiling it for the good RVers. That means we need to be extra aware of our actions – not being a nuisance, picking up our trash, spending money in the stores, etc. RVers should always be good neighbors.

It is a shame that a small subset of RVers have been ruining things for the rest of us. It makes it that much more important that each of us represent the RV community in a positive manner – cleaning up, shopping at the stores, etc.

We also need to be lobbying each of our local communities to add RV parking/campground spots in local parks and to not pass these ordinances. We don’t want the remaining overnight RV parking spots to disappear and it would be awesome if we could add some more spots, even if paid. Many of us wouldn’t mind spending some money for a RV parking spot, especially if they had electric plugins for us. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just big enough for the Big Rigs to get in and park.

I love this! Hopefully, more towns will do the same and make RV travel more convenient for everyone. Do you know of a listing of communities that have spots?

I know that Lynchburg, Tennessee has a small electric and water only hookup place right off the town square and within walking distance of Jack Daniels. I stayed there last year. It was totally convenient since I don’t tow a car and we definitely spent some time and money in the town.
