Something not right?

Description

A very new Walmart that is very well stocked (minus alcohol). We parked up front in view of the security cameras. We also asked the security guard and he said it was okay. I’d also ask for yourself. Bathrooms are clean and they were open at 10pm even though it says they close at 8pm on google

We staid three nights here after one night at the Bodega. It is very quiet and safe. Not too far to the center.

Très bon emplacement pour passer 1 ou plusieurs nuits. Le parking de Walmart est très calme et très sûr. Le mieux est de se garer en haut à gauche, car il y a des caméras de surveillance.
Nous étions 3 vanlifers durant ces 3 nuits passées ici.
Il y a aussi plusieurs chiens errants qui restent dans le coin, et qui n'hésitent pas à signaler la présence humaine la nuit.

Pas de wifi capté depuis le parking. Le magasin est ouvert de 7h00 à 23h00.

Still a great option. We asked the guard watching the entrance doors of Walmart and he said no problem. The nights were quiet and we felt really safe. We parked on the left side of the building right in front of the entrance for electronics.
Please keep this place clean, so that many overlander can enjoy this free spot!!

Dormimos aqui uns 10 dias, embora a internet não seja boa é um espaço seguro e onde outros viajantes também ficam. Tem um posto de gasolina ao lado que pegamos água e tem ducha 20 pesos.

It was our first Walmart in one year, normally we avoid this kind of place. In San Cristobal we don't find better, so we stayed here 2 nights and finally it was really quiet. This Walmart is enough far from the road and the city noise. We walked to San Cristobal center, it is no so far but there are also colectivo.

Quiet night. Nobody disturbed us. Moved here from the Chedraui, where the employee leaving for the night said we could not stay. This was a good option.

Great for a night, very quiet when you park in the corner furthest from the road (right next to the entrance doors). This is also the flattest spot that we found. Walmart is open from 7am to 11pm.

We stayed here for 3 nights. Very quiet and safe. From here you can walk to the centre. Walk up the street at the Pemex to the next Pemex (do not walk towards the city centre). There are colectivos going to San Juan Chamula for 20 pesos pp.

Very good place to visit San Cris ! It is safe, a guy with his van was here since a month. You probably won’t be alone. We stayed 2 nights. Walmart opens from 7 to 9pm so great for bathroom. It is around 25min walking from the city center

Nos quedamos 2 noches sin problemas. Víctor el gerente del Walmart dijo que no había problema y que gracias por preguntar. Noche tranquila, segura y silenciosa.
We stayed two nights without any issues. Víctor Walmart's manager said no problem and thanked us for asking. Quiet and safe nights.

Report Check-In

We stayed here 3 nights (non consecutive) while visiting San Cristobal. The guards told us where to park and our dog appreciated the grass. Very quiet here and the bathrooms are very nice here. Wifi does not reach the parking lot.

Report Check-In

Very good spot to spend a night. We asked the security gard if it was OK to stay and he said no problem. He indicated to spots where we could park the car and sleep. They let us use the bathrooms several times. The wifi did not work. The spots where you can sleep are a bit hidden from the road. It felt safe as several security guards spend the night on site. They turn of the lights around 11 and after that, it is very quiet until morning. Would definitely recommend this place.

For full blown big rigs this is the place to camp. Big rigs in town is a non starter. Camped here in 11 tonne MAN truck for five nights. Decent range of all alcohol, first class food supermarket.
Easy walk to town, pemex fuel station next door

We stayed overnight with no problems. Felt safe. If store is closed you can use Pemex bathrooms for some coins.

Place was legit a nostalgic experience from our time overlanding the states! A safe place with a good selection of goods to restock your guilty pleasures. Their bread was the icing on the cake (good price, crispy, & not sweet!) we went back for more bread the following morning.

Very shiny new Walmart! We arrived very late and couldn't find the security guard so paid to sleep next door in the Pemex. No free WiFi set up here yet (every walmart or Bodega Aurorra has free WiFi)
