With Walmart parking lots the first thing that always comes up: is it illegal to sleep in your car at Walmart. The thing is sleeping in a Walmart parking lot is generally considered to be acceptable. That being said you need to keep stealth at an absolute max.

Many people think that Walmart parking lots are unsafe to sleep at and this is simply not true. Walmart parking lots are actually fairly safe if you are in a decent part of town (and if you are in a bad part of town drive to another one). Security cameras and the occasional rent-a-cop keep the parking lots safe for all of us car campers.

In general, the best Walmarts to camp at are the ones near the highway. These are more likely to be filled with campers and RVs when you get there. The extra camper will help you feel more comfortable and less likely to be singled out.

Sometimes the Walmart you are trying to car camp at is nowhere near the highway. In this case, you need to proceed with caution. Remember, stealth is your friend, 99 percent of people walking or driving by will not even glance at your car if you aren't being blatantly obvious. So, you can sleep in a Walmart parking lot if you follow the guidelines above.

Make sure you go in to buy something if you are planning to sleep in a Walmart parking lot. Being a customer is the least you can do for a free nights stay, and a receipt can come in handy if someone gives you a hard time.
