I Have used Walmart many times, the advantages are...
they are almost everywhere,
great place for restocking while traveling,
very rarely get hassled, ( on the ones that do not ban camping)
Well lighted (not so good sometimes)
Some disadvantages:
Noisy all the time from the traffic, trucks loading unloading, semi trucks parking for the night running their rigs all night, parking lot sweepers
Sometimes, parking lots are very crowded late in the day
Open 24 Hours
Trash everywhere
I have found that other places are just as good or better
Sams Clubs (own by wall-mart) They close at 8 pm
Costco, very rarely used, usually very clean
Cabellas , rv friendly, many have dump stations, designated rv spots for overnight, they allow 2 night stays free.
Bass Pro Shops ,
Cracker Barrel , (disadvantage is small parking lots for lager rigs)
There are many more, when in doubt, ask
Very good web site .. Cheers
Thanks for the input. I haven't tried Cabela's or Cracker Barrel yet.
I've read some things online about people camping at Home Depot, have you tried this?

Yes,
No problems, I have stayed when I needed to do a project or repair.
Another advantage is they are usually in with, or close to other retailers .
As always check to make sure there are no restrictions, they are usually posted in the lots.
Some towns and villages will restrict overnight parking because a campground owner thinks they are loosing revenue. (which is absurd, if it's not free I will keep going down the road until I find a friendly place. After all , we have wheels :)
