Some Walmarts allow folks to park in their parking lots overnight. Some do not. Boondocking in a Walmart parking lot is no one's first choice but it is important we camp appropriately so we may retain that choice. Wallydocking has been a blessing to many a tired driver or folks without a campsite reservation.

Other places with similar policies include Cracker Barrel, Bass Pro¹⁾ / Cabela's, and many truck stops.

Best practices:

• be respectful; it is their property
• obey any signs that say overnight camping is forbidden
• ask the manager if it is ok
• if you need anything, purchase it at that location. Holding your purchase while you talk to the manager in the previous step is a great first impression. Eat at Cracker Barrel. Get your fuel at the truck stop.
• stay only a night or two
• park away from trafficked areas; at the back/sides/garden center are usually good.
• make no messes, and pick up any messes you see
• maintain a low profile
  • keep your slides in
  • jacks up (or on pads if absolutely necessary); we don't want to damage the lot
  • no generators
  • no lawn chairs or other gear outside
  • for doG's sake do not drain anything in the lot
