OVERNIGHT NOT PERMITTED: we arrived late and parked near many vans, rvs and boondockers but we all got told no in the morning by two sherrifs and a manager (?). Will not risk it tonight again

Arrived around 8:00pm, and now there is sigh that says “no overnight extended parking”.
So went there to ask and said it was fine for one night. In the morning realized there was also two/three vans. Just need to park far from the entrance in the right corner. Had a goodnight of sleep. Left around 8:30am

Arrived at night. And see the no parking sign but already tired. So stayed for the night. Later on more RV and vans arrived. So quite and no one disturb us. Big parking lot.

Staying again tonight. I am sharing a photo from today to show just how comfortable people are staying here (sitting outside having a chat in the WalMart parking lot).

March 18th, 2023 by blessedveteran

Stayed here last night. Yes, there are signs saying no overnight parking, but there were more big RVs than I've ever seen at a Wal-Mart before. It is loud, people around all evening/night but it was ok for the night since there are not many other options, especially for the big RVs.

Good Walmart in AZ…quiet and lots of other vans and campers. Clean up your dog sh!t

February 20th, 2023 by nhentz3

Great stay, multiple other vans and RVs. Bathrooms inside are extremely smelly and busy.

February 11th, 2023 by Wiinzta

One of the most amazing views, sunsets. Met tons of van dwellers that were also spending the night. Had a great time and good sleep.
I’m not bothered by cars driving by. Nobody had generators. There was not “welcome to Walmart” message playing.

February 9th, 2023 by jrkettunen

spent a night, no one bothered me, it was loud from the big streets nearby

February 4th, 2023 by Ollie

I stayed here a bunch of nights in a row no issue. Dozens of other RV’s and cars parked overnight. Don’t make yourself too at home here so they don’t crack down!

January 13th, 2023 by dickm103c

I’ve stayed here several nights (always leave during the day to explore) over the last three weeks. Never any problems. Usually 6-12+ vans/RVs/car dwellers. Nice Rec path across from the lot.

January 11th, 2023 by dickm103c

I’ve stayed here four separate times over the last 2 1/2 weeks as I travel around the area. No problems at all. I always leave by 10am. It seems like everyone is following the rules. Usually 6-12 RVs/Vans/car dwellers every night. A little loud at times, but to be expected. Nice walking path nearby too.

January 10th, 2023 by Smitty_Diggs

there are signs warning no overnight extended stays. that being said, there are a lot of other vans and rvs here and there were quite a few cars parked overnight as well. no security or cops came through. the road noise from the highway is pretty loud. safe, well lit, good for an overnight.

January 9th, 2023 by chrisbettencourt

I used navigation to the shopping center and when I saw Walmart I just looked for RVs in the back and parked there. Woke up and noticed a no overnight parking sign right next to me. Whoops. Still, no issues for me or the other campers, buses, and vans. 🤷 The train noise was moderate. I'd ready the ear plugs and window shades. Overall an easy safe spot

January 3rd, 2023 by dkruis27

Stayed 1 night, slept great surprisingly. A handful of other campers there as well. No issues.

November 14th, 2022 by dnafit

Good for one night signs say no extended stay.

October 26th, 2022 by b2p

we slept two nights. we asked customer service, no problem they said. level, safe and quiet at night. perfect place in tucson

October 20th, 2022 by SciroccoNW

confirmed with store manager, they do ask for one night stay only and that you park at the edge of the lot away from the store. on the plus side there was no Walmart radio playing outside the store so it was relatively quiet.

October 15th, 2022 by 818alexandra

there are signs saying “no extended stay”. we only slept here for the night and left early morning. no one bothered us

May 24th, 2022 by omnisrex

As Described. no extended parking signs but had no problems for one night. several other vehicles there.

March 19th, 2022 by dcerezo93

The signs that are up prohibit “extended” overnight parking. I spoke with an employee and single night stays are allowed. There were about 7 other rigs in the lot overnight while I was there.

February 20th, 2022 by justme256

Signs indicate No extended parking. Violators will be towed at owners expense.
As I park here on Saturday night there are many other RVs in the parking lot.
There are NO messages being played over any speakers.
My wife and I have stayed at this Walmart several times over the last few years and never had an issue.

January 24th, 2022 by tonibanks89

There are a lot of rvs and campers. There is a message saying Walmart is closed in Spanish and in English.

January 21st, 2022 by guy_198

Slept there with about 7-9 others vans/RVs. No music, no issues.

December 5th, 2021 by gfou

Good place for a night, they coose late and open early.

March 25th, 2021 by denny_goines

Yuk. Just yuk. Clearly Walmart is wants to drive away camper/business. Announcement blaring all night, also happened at another Walmart. Bye Walmart.

March 12th, 2021 by rebecca winters

Trash cans in front of store only. Recording about shopping at Walmart and masks goes on all night but I parked in back and it was not very loud. Only a minor annoyance. Nice safe place to sleep and as always I shop for what I need to make it worth it to Walmart to let us stay in their parking lot and as a thank you.

February 20th, 2021 by javaboy95

Busy walmart, bring ear plu
gs and sleep mask. many rigs and cars here this morning. some ran generators all night, nd there is a "Thank you for shopping at Walmart" message that plays over the whole parking lot every ten minutes.

Per security about a month ago they stopped allowing overnight parking. No parking signs are now up. Security came around and asked us to leave around 10pm

March 21st, 2020 by matt2rock

Sleeping is no longer allowed here. Not sure if it’s virus related but we got told to move on

January 8th, 2020 by Reveur

24hr Walmart. Huge parking lot. Noise from the freeway was steady. Tucson is hot hot hot hot hot hot hot. May want a portable fan sleeping here in July.

May 9th, 2019 by rhysandnatalia

parked in th corner. we weren't disturbed yet there was a fair bit of noise from cars going round during the night.

May 6th, 2019 by c_gambino

Just happened to go to the Walmart because needed something and noticed an RV, people sleeping in cars, a pickup truck, SUV, a sprinter van and 1 transport truck. No signs saying "no overnight". So I stayed there instead of BLM campsite. Security going up and down lanes with lights flashes, all night. Overall was a good place to park.

February 19th, 2019 by KK

We stayed 3 nights without issue. I don’t think the 1 night rule is enforced. Security patrolling all night.

November 23rd, 2018 by gtherreault

The only Walmart near Tucson that seems to allow overnight parking. There were several RV’s here tonight along with us, and things were quiet even thought we are near the highway. We parked far from the store on the left side.

October 10th, 2018 by jercoupe

After stopping at the first Walmart on Highway 10 coming into Tucson we found no parking was allowed. We came down to this Walmart and found it was allowed and spent a very peaceful night with the hum of traffic putting us to sleep.

January 4th, 2018 by johanroos1961

Stayed here with several other campers. Littlebit noisy by trafic but free and good for a night

November 30th, 2017 by Fabian Pickel

Management permits overnight parking for one night. Security patrol at night. Fast wifi in store.

October 20th, 2017 by projetalaia

We spend one night here. Walmart is open from 6 to 12. A bit noisy but Ok for a night.
Few other Rv's and vans were also
parked here for the night.

April 26th, 2017 by gray

Stayed here overnight with no issues
