Something not right?

Description

As other Wal-Mart, free parking good for one night. Wi-Fi average inside. Restaurants close. Recommended to park on the left side of the building with the trucks. Very noisy. The train awakes us twice that night. Ear plugs welcome! Better than nothing.
Comme les autres Wal-Mart, stationnement gratuit bon pour une nuit. Le Wi-Fi a une réception moyenne à l'intérieur. Restaurants tout autour. Recommandé de stationner à gauche de la bâtisse où arrivent les camions de livraison. Très bruyant. Le train a sifflé 2 fois cette nuit là. Bouche oreilles bienvenue ! Mieux que rien.

Had a quiet night considering it was Saturday. I have a class c, so I backed into a spot on the left by the empty field. No problems & felt safe.

Report Check-In

We chose not to stay here - there are a lot of ‘interesting’ characters hanging about and it didn’t feel comfortable or safe.

Report Check-In

Parked too close to the street and it was loud all night. Good enough for one night.

Report Check-In

Stayed left of the building. Some Truck noise but we felt safe here.
Did not here the train 🤷‍♂️

Report Check-In

Security was not a fan of my car being parked here for more than an hour. I was on the side as recommended. Will have to relocate :/

Report Check-In

standard Walmart, kind of loud and busy inside.

Seems like it makes a difference if you are here during the weekend or not (I'd personally advise against parking lots in cities during the weekend anyway). We were here on a Monday and had a relatively quiet and peaceful night. Yes, there's a busy road right next to the parking lot, but noise wasn't too bad. Especially a good option if the BLM spots in the area (e.g. County Road 772) are too exposed when winds are heavy - which was our case too.

Report Check-In

Busy and loud at night, the train is close and loud. Kids and others walking through at night. Stayed one night with the other trucks no problems.

Report Check-In

Loud, semi parks within inches of you but the hey are good not to hit you but has made us nervous. Super loud but good for a night

Report Check-In

Definitely a busy and noisy area. But works for a night. Be sure you are all the way left since there seems to be a local contingency that hangs out all night.

Report Check-In

Parked left side of bldg. quiet. No incidents. No knock in the night.

Report Check-In

NOT SAFE - Had an individual come towards my car at 1:30 AM looking around inside until he noticed me sleeping and then walked away.

Report Check-In

store allows one night. we parked along the left edge of the parking lot next to the field seperating walmart from the fairfield. usual parking lot noise but that doesnt bother us. couple other vanlifers and truckers here as well.

Report Check-In

Pretty loud. Saw a couple needles in the grass/dirt while walking the dog. Did the job. Multiple vans and RVs.

Had to rush down here from one of the BLM spots due to a tornado warning. Previous review sums it up- pretty loud but overall just a wal Mart parking lot. Has some reviews online for being a dangerous spot but I didn’t have an issue.
