Longview. Walmart | Informal Campsite

I talked to customer service, they said they don’t own the lot and the cops may come and ask you leave if they get a call, but you are welcome to park at your own risk.

No "no overnight parking" signs at all. Stayed for part of the day with a few other campers...came back and stayed for the night with no problems and no paper/notice nor ticket. A few other car campers and two 5th wheels.

Parked in the back corner on pickup side in a yellow high-top express van.

the same hack slapped the paper on my windshield. funny, it doesnt have a name, or even the "officer" who put the no parking sheet in my window. i called walmart instantly after seeing it, only being there for an hour. the employee told me shes not sure why or who but its definitely okay to stay in the lot. i was surrounded by semis and other parked vans while reading the paper. none of them received the notice. i think its some paul blart wannabe putting it on peoples windshield when he sees them go inside. as far as i was told its okay, but just be aware and watch for the person. its also kind of a sketchy parking lot but ok for a night. they didnt even use the right abbreviation for the state im from, something about it just seemed off and not official.

Recieved notice from City that overnight parking is not allowed.

Arrived late evening and there was a handful of other rvs. Woke up early and found a paper sheet on the windshield stating it is a private lot and city will tow if vehicle is not moved. I'd suggest staying elsewhere. Included photo of notice.

Walmart with a huge parking lot. Parked in the back of the lot (front of the store) near the trees and bushes. 1 RV there when we showed. Quiet night. Woke up to 3 other vans and same RV. No knocks. Good for at least a night!

Go to Nipps Burgers, cool fast food joint down the road with good reviews and great food.

Stayed one night, no problem. Pulled in around 9:30, parked towards the back of the lot. Didn’t leave until almost noon the next day.

We had stayed two nights with no problems (and it another rv nearby), but then woke up to a notice on our windshield from a City Ordinance Officer that no overnight parking is allowed.

If you’re going to stay here for more than one night I’d highly recommend being out of the lot early.

No longer a welcoming place. We were woken up at 7 in the morning by an employee. She gave us a notice as it is now forbidden by the city to stay at Walmart’s ground. She told us we could park overnight at a diner nearby but we didn’t catch the name.

stayed 3 nights. no issues. quiet and calm. parked on NW corner for access to green space for my dog. mill-smell coming from Mill across the street which may bother some, but it's not egregious.

few other campers that stayed over night. one 5th wheel was there before I arrived and stayed after I left.

Ka-u-eye-ET. It was quiet in a Friday night. Two other rigs. One was a local. Keep this place clean.

Free overnight parking in huge lot. Be sure to buy something to express your appreciation.

Clean Walmart in an odd part of town, not really near any other shopping. The lot is large with plenty of greenery. The side lot near the pick-up stalls is nicest and has a big grassy area for pets. Lots of other campers here and no one bugged us.

Great spot to spend the night in the Walmart parking lot, along the road between Walmart and Home Depot. Good cell signal and wifi! Busy daytime, quiet night. Normal industrial city noise and occasional train, doesn't bother me tho!

No problems over night camping here. A bit noisy because of nearby industrial work.

Spend a night here without a problem, huge parking area and two other campers next to us. Wifi worked and restrooms were clean for a Walmart.

Cop drove around and didn't do anything. A healthy mix of what looks like locals and travelers.

Parked here with four vans, two RVs and a skoolie! Felt safe because of the numbers.

Convenient, a bit noisy but ok. Classic walmart

Overnight-camped in the car-park with no issue. This branch isn't open 24 hours. Restrooms and wifi indoors.
