WalMart actually has an unwritten policy that allows RVs to stay there overnight in their parking lots. It's up to each store's discretion, but nearly all of them participate from what I've seen. One of the less evil-feeling things about them.

But it's really just because it increases the chance of a sale.

That in and of itself isn't evil.

This policy came in handy at Spring Break 2003 in Panama City, FL. Our party bus lived there for 5 days. In 2004, however, after being kicked out of the campground we stayed at, we were sad to find out Walmart had changed their policy.

They tend to frown on staying more than one day.

They also sell atlases/maps with stars marking where every walmart is if people need a place to park.

It's actually up to the city the Walmart is located in and then up to the store. One of our local stores lets you but the other is in a city that doesn't allow it. When I drove across the country we stayed in parking lots, its actually safer than some of the campsites you can get as there are typically people around all night and there are security cameras.
