A bit noisy and crowded but fine if you need a place for a night. Some pretty large rigs showed up later and there was no room. Pretty tight parking lot.

Report Check-In

This Walmart was a little bit noisy before the 23:00 close time; between the train, gulls, road traffic and general lot traffic. I woke up to the sound of gulls at around 05:30. Overall, not a terrible spot to spend a night.

Report Check-In

Stayed one night, a little bit loud because of cars and trains but that's ok for one night. We were few RV on the parking lot.

At least a dozen overnighters. No problem at all quiet night. This is not free camping at all I end up dropping 100 bucks every time! 😅

Just your average stay at a Wal-Mart. Ignore the sign at the entrance, you're good.

Report Check-In

This Walmart was open. The other one had signs saying no overnight. There was one other van parked at the back all day and all night. Snow plows came in the morning and piled snow right beside me since I was at the back

Report Check-In

Very confusing sign at the entrance about overnight parking so we asked inside. Was fine to stay. Was amazingly quiet for a town centre Walmart location. 3 RVs total for this mid-week winter stay.

Report Check-In

Got some groceries and asked at the desk. Not a problem staying overnight as long as not close to the stores as they share the lot. Fairly quiet already at 7pm.

Lots of rigs, vans, and schoolies! Good one night stop, arrived late and slept in for a change. Quiet lot at night and until 9am when I left.

Report Check-In

Pretty packed with rv’s and car campers. It makes it feel more secure to be honest. The walmart is super busy, but once it closes (at 11pm) it settles quite quick. It’s hot so our windows are open and the sounds aren’t too offensive. I wouldn’t say it’s quiet but it is bearable. A good place for a night !

Report Check-In

had to been at least 20 to 30 campers there, good for a night's sleep 😴

Report Check-In

Pretty much as you would expect... plenty of RVs and campers so you feel quite safe, no issues at all. Bathrooms were a bit disgusting but what can you expect from a Walmart with McDonald's inside.

Report Check-In

usual Walmart, about ten sprinter like RVs.

Report Check-In

Safe and quiet place to park. We stayed one night, lots of other car campers and RVs. We parked close to the staples. Customer service was nice and had no hesitations letting us stay the night. The McDonalds has wifi but it doesn’t really reach the parking lot.
