- Rated "Excellent" by Wired Magazine - As seen in "Harvard Business Review" The store founder was an RVer and the general policy remains that RVers can spend one night free in a store parking lot. You get some rest, maybe shop a bit and move on early in the morning. How will this app help you? RVer or not, this app shows all Walmart locations in US and Canada. Use it to find shopping now and for RVing later. Want to know where every Walmart is located and which ones have been reported to allow and don't allow overnight parking? Filter map to see if has fuel, pharmacy, garden center, a restaurant and much more. This app plots every Walmart store in the USA and Canada on the map view. It uses location services to find your location and as you move. Local influence and RVer abuse have meant that about 1/4 of stores no longer allow overnights, so you might want ask a manager ahead of time. Please submit your reports to us so we can keep this app accurate. I get numerous reports about stores every single day. It’s always changing... What's in it: Walmart's of all kinds. Can you park there or have others been denied or even towed? Tips are provided from other RVers as to where to park in the lot. It integrates nicely with maps to display up to 150 points of interest on a map. Don’t take even one more trip without Walmart Overnight Parking. It can always change by the time you get there but at least you can be aware of what others have experienced lately.
