Realistic rating is 4.7. Would give it a 5 IF it was still in the “old” format (but will admit the new one works well too) and all the GPS coordinates took you to the store. Have found a few where the coordinates bring you close but in one case was significantly off. Very Glad the app is available though and we use it all the time. Without it I don’t know if Walmart would stay in business because we definitely support everyone we stay in and when traveling we stay in “Americas’ Number One Camping spot” 3 to 5 nights a week (generally) and ALWAYS ASK, even if the app comments say it’s OK.

Traveled 14 months, 17,000 Miles through 36 states. Stayed at 60 (!) Walmarts! This app was an essential tool for our travels. Cannot express properly how much money this saved and enabled us to have our trip of a lifetime. Found only 1 Walmart that I disagreed with the reviews and was never turned away from spending the night. Even a couple of locations that had No Overnight Parking posted said it was actually ok. Make sure you check at the desk, spend a couple of bucks and remember that you’re not camping, just spending the night. Be respectful of being in a commercial parking area and we can keep this great traveling aid going! Get the app!
As a fulltime nomad on a tiny budget, I travel long distances a LOT but don’t have much to spend for camping spots. Especially on my snowbirding runs between the east coast and the desert Southwest, I’m usually just passing through and don’t need hookups or want to hassle with or pay for a campground. I just need a place to sleep and maybe grab something to eat before getting back on the road. This app is perfect for finding RV-friendly Walmart parking lots to do that in. Especially now that some bigger cities are becoming very RV unfriendly! Just a great app. Thank you!!
Excellent tool for the Rver who stays at Walmart. Traveled from Pa to Ca and back for 3 weeks. App was very useful during the traveling part of our trip. Use your common sense and call the stores before you arrive. Every store we stayed at were very friendly and welcomed us if it was ok too. Treat the stores and people with respect this privilege of free overnight RV parking will last for our grandkids and longer.
I love this app and use it almost daily! Even though I'm a Walmart driver, we are not supplied with sufficient information on store locations. I refuse to sleep in truck stops and rest areas, so this app in addition to store info we are supplied with, I can plan my trips and utilize my workday before taking my DOT break. Some cities have local ordinances, and even WM drivers aren't allowed to break at those stores, ironic huh?! Thank you for this great app! 5 stars from this driver.
This app is a must have for anyone who travels long distance and needs an overnight along the way. If I could give 10 stars, I would. There is no issue in this app worth reporting for 2 reasons: 1- the information is user generated, therefore is as good as the user; and, 2- the developer is responsive to feedback and suggestions and improvements are made accordingly. Everything one needs to know about potential stopovers is at your fingertips.
I loved using this app until this new upgrade, but now it is awful!! I know that there is getting used to new upgrades, but this is something I don’t want to get use to!! I copy the address and paste into my notes to keep track of where we have been and for future reference however, with the upgrade, I can longer do that because the ability to highlight does not work!! It is cut off and can it be moved right and left or up and down!! Please fix, ASAP I am traveling and this is an inconvenience!!
Really helpful and accurate when we've been traveling long hours and need a place to park overnight. Be sure to go in to store and ask manager for permission and where you should park. As long as everyone is respectful this will continue to be a service to RVers.
Every comment I read on this app is 2018 or older. I found one comment from 2021. Looked at multiple states and this is consistent. Seems overnight parking is at your own risk due to signs that state no overnight parking or signs posted stating city ordinances forbid overnight parking. 2.99 isn’t a lot but when it’s not beneficial at all very frustrating. This may be due to changes over time but if the app is no longer beneficial get rid of it. Very misleading when the app is still available.
This is great for searching for Walmarts along your route of travel. It provides a map showing Walmart locations. I use the phone number listed to call the store manager to enquire about overnight parking. Most are very helpful and offer advice on parking locations and safety. I highly recommend it.
I easy access to Walmart parking for big trucks and RVs lots of room that’s a room for trucks cars RVs huge parking lot really nice car/truck wash also do yourself the only problem I see is I have a reefer truck so the reflectors on and off all night if it’s too close to our visa probably disturb so so‘s
The lot is very large, we didn’t feel crowded, even with the many RV’s and trucks parking there. It was very quiet, even with a few generators purring away. We felt very safe, there was excellent lighting. There was plenty of room for our slide outs to be extended. We will stay there again!
We generally stay at truck stops due to the fact we’re pulling a jeep behind our RV. A friend suggested Walmart being RV friendly and we were pleasantly surprised by the space available, how quiet it was, and, of course, the convenient access to Walmart.
We Left San Diego in our RV camper truck headed towards North Carolina to visit friends. This app helped find free overnight parking in Walmarts along Hwy 40. We were gamed to find RV parks along the way, but this app was so useful and saved us $$. Thanks. Updated app when we did use Walmart lots
Our very first night of being on the road we found a friendly Walmart in GA. June 2018 We have stayed at several and this year we are headed north than west and this ap and Walmart are our lifesavers. Thank you so much for your offering guidance and hospitality!
Always stay in Walmarts when in the move in my Winnebago Navion. This app is absolutely perfect. Everything I could hope for in what it offers. I use it always and contribute my experiences every time. If there were 6 stars I would rate it so.
Just downloaded the App and started using today. The App has been good for giving me a place where I can report the Wal-Marts that you can no longer stay at. I guess they no longer need the business of truckers or campers. Since WalMart is no longer a welcoming place, the App has limited use. Especially since you have to pay for it!

I love this app! Ever since we bought an RV (March 2016) I downloaded all the apps that would apply to our RV trips. This by far has helped us find ONP in areas we would never think to stop. We have slept in many Super Walmarts parking lots :). Thank you!
If you stop at Walmark for the night when traveling, you need this. You get all the updated information on the Walmarts welcoming. Where toark, and the feedback from previous experiences. Informations is accurate 99% of the time.
great way to find awalmart,i very rarely overnight,but i do most of my shopping at walmart,sams club,i usually call to makesure theres room for 75ft of truck and trlr,this the app works great
I’ve used this for years. Super useful. Walmart camping is not glamorous, but so handy. No reservation or late check-in hassles. Bathrooms, drinking water, WiFi, groceries. They are always welcoming. Please take time to post a parking report.
We have recently started using this app and we are thrilled with the comments and suggestions. So as of today it’s a 5 star for us. Traveled from Tampa Florida to Anchorage Alaska & back again, this app was the best.
We have used this app reliably for 3 years and it’s an excellent guide to overnight parking at Walmart’s. Never had it let us down or give bad information.
Most reviews are old .. not sure if people are not making comments or it’s need updating .. I have not found one recommendation for 2023… most are over a year old ..
Use this all the time when we are on the road in the Rv. Walmart’s are the simplist overnite stay. The comments are most valuable. We have never been asked to leave.
Most of what I saw was years old. Walmart camping is hit or miss from the information given in this app so you really need to call each store individually to find out if camping is allowed. Any map app will show Walmart and give the phone number.
Waste of money. It seems that all reviews of stores in my path are from before 2018. A another discontented reviewer commented, save your money and just call the store. For the cost, it is a very limited app.
Nothing but a store list where users can leave comments. Most comments say “you can’t stay here.” So very little help . Better off saving $2.99 and using Yelp for free ....
This app has been a godsend for us in finding a place to spend a night. However, I'm finding more locations with no reviews or years-old reviews. I have submitted info on locations but have not seen any of them published. And I would really like to find out more about trees and curbs in the lots. That said, we always consult the app along our way. At least it has a phone number we can call for permission.
I travel in a class B and boondock while covering a lot of miles. This is perfect for that use. I choose the city I expect to stop in, then the store in area best suited for me that allows camping. Rather than use the turn by turn locator I enter the address in my Garmin GPS saving air time and freeing phone for other use. We are not traveling with kids so if we do something in a city, we may drive a few hours at the end of a day, knowing we have a place picked to stop. I have found no errors or problems to date. Wal-Mart has been very convenient for picking up things too. I use this app daily while traveling and highly recommend it.
I use this app to help us find a place to crash for the night when we're traveling and can't afford a hotel. I'm not sure if the filters are 100% accurate, especially when figuring out if store is 24 hours (few are not). I find some of the "possible parking" options vague on the user reviews since laws change and such so sometimes you still have to call to be certain. Even so, it's much easier to find locations here than scrolling through lists online which aren't location specific to where you are that very minute.
Wonderful app. The "i" button on each location is great with information for calling ahead and getting ok to stay and where the store prefers that you park. Comments from users that have stayed at a location or spoken with management are helpful in deciding whether to stay at a location or not (for example we avoid ones with notes about panhandlers in the parking lot). Different symbol for locations which definitely do not allow overnite parking is helpful in planning and not wasting a call to that location. Highly recommend this app.
Our family has been traveling by RV for nearly 10 years. We drive from the east coast out west every year. In the early years, we stayed at truck stops along the way, but found them way too noisy. We like that Walmarts are so convenient and most allow overnight parking. This app helps take the guesswork out of where we can stay. We know how far it is between stores and which ones don't allow parking at all. The user updates help inform us which ones are friendly, noisy, busy, etc. We can't RV without this app. Thanks!
We bought this Walmart store locator to use when we went cross country last year. We parked at a different Walmart every night and went cross country without paying a camping fee! This might sound lame, but if you just want to park your camper without setting it up, this is the answer. You can get your dinner at Walmart like we did and it's just an easy thing to do. I reccommend this inexpensive Walmart finder for anyone who wants to stay overnight without paying or setting up!
We were ready for our first Wal-Mart overnight stop, after many years of camping. I used the app to plan ahead, found a store about where we wanted to stop for the night, asked permission at the store, and there we were. I particularly liked the detailed map and the moving dot showing where our vehicle was at all times.
No, really. If travel as much as we do and boondock along the way this app is INDISPENSABLE!!! Accurate, easy to use and packed with all the information you need to have a restful nights sleep without the camping fees. Be sure to follow the Walmart rules and ask the manager if you can park, it's good manners...and don't forget to buy something when you're there!
- 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.
