![]() The single best way to find out is by calling the store and choose customer service from the menu on their answering machine. Walmart doesn’t enforce them, and the local cops have better things to do than hassle law abiding RVers who are spending money in their town. ![]() For nearly 20 years I have parked at Walmarts with such signs from coast to coast and border to border, and have never been asked to leave. It should be noted that most, if not virtually all of Walmart lots posted with “No Overnight Parking” signs is simply compliance of local sign ordinances by Walmart. We have kids who just realized there are things called ‘RV parks.’ They grew up staying in parking lots on our travels! Reply So communicate, be nice, smile, and enjoy the road. Several have even drawn us a map or provided phone numbers. ![]() The other thing we have found, is when we communicate with the managers and are told ‘no,’ most often they are set with a mental list of other places to try. Including the eastern side where we found a Walmart with electric connections, picnic tables and grassy areas! First-come availability and number of nights limited, but it was nice to recharge! And in MO we were asked if we needed to place an immediate pickup order for pickup on foot (during covid). In ID it’s a ‘no’ if the Walmart is near a major event center (such as Nampa), but fine at other locations. In OK we were told only if our rig was 10 years old or newer, so we just had to show documentation. CA within about 50 miles of the coast we were turned away but in eastern parts we were accepted. I didn’t know Lincoln NE had 4 Walmarts, but I can say we were turned away at one and accepted at another. In PA most Walmarts are on property owned by the township, so township ordinance of no overnight parking is enforced. If we are pulling in late I’ll call ahead, ask permission to put “permission granted for dates x to x overnight parking, via phone conversation at x time.” I write the manager’s name. We put it on our dash or affix to our driver side window. We go into the store, talk to the manager, and have them write permission on a 3×5 card I supply. If you want to learn more about Days Gone, make sure to check out its developers discussing how they balanced the contradictory design goals of having an open world while keeping a story focus.I’ve lost track of how many Walmart parking lots we have spent the night in with our RV from coast to coast and north to south. Each sector looks fairly substantially massive, and it seems like the final map won’t disappoint in terms of size or variety. ![]() It seems as though the map will be divided into multiple sectors (which is fairly common for open world games- The Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild both did this too), and these images give us a look at what those sectors are like. GameReactor has shared four images showing us the map, to give us an idea of its range and scope, as well as the different kinds of missions you can encounter in it. Open worlds often live and die by their maps-it needs to be big, and varied, and the content needs to be spaced out properly (it can’t be too dense or too sparse), so this is obviously an important enough metric of consideration. Days Gone, the upcoming open world zombie action adventure game from Sony Bend, is almost here, and ahead of that launch, we now have some idea of what to expect from the map for the game. ![]()
