There are signs saying 2-hour parking only. We checked w/ the front desk and they said we can spend the night as long as we are gone by opening. There were quite a few other campers here also.
We had no problems.

Came here with the intention of sleeping in my car, there are signs all over the parking lot that read “ private property CUSTOMER PARKING ONLY 3 hour limit, unauthorized vehicles will be tagged and/or towed at the owners expense”

Safe and quiet as stated. All other campgrounds were booked up so we ended up here with a bunch of other campers.

Good location with mountain views so stayed again. Moved on before 9:00am as suggested by a fellow overlander.

Good location with some traffic noise. There were 15+ campers parked up for the night. Unfortunately we were unable to connect to the WiFi.

An employee knocked on our windows at 8h15am telling us it was time to leave! He was nice, told us we were allowed to sleep there!

stayed here several nights. very safe and quiet spot! I was one of perhaps 15 or 20 campers there. two large garbage bins available, one in the covered cart return and one outside, to the left of the entrance. 9:30 is the cutoff to leave (and a very nice walmart employee will come by to remind you!)

on my second visit i noticed a "3 hour maximum" sign, and it looks pretty new... but the lot had more than 10 campers that night, and there was no issue.

D'après le site internet de la ville, il est interdit de dormir dans sa voiture dans le downtown. Mais il est autorisé de le faire en dehors. Il y a un Canadian Tire en dehors, nous avons demandé au gérant et il était ok pour qu'on y reste la nuit. Il fait juste partir avant heure d'ouverture. Le gérant a été très aimable.

Stayed the night in the Walmart parking lot, probably the prettiest Walmart parking lot I’ve ever seen thanks to the mountains surrounding it. We weren’t bothered by security at all. There were lots of other people staying the night as well, in campers and minivans and bigger rigs, but everyone was quiet and respectful and almost everyone was gone by 8am.

Weren’t able to get usable internet here in the parking lot, but decent useable internet was found across the street at Home Depot. We also met someone doing some wood working on/in his van in the Home Depot parking lot and was not bothered by security at all.

Have stayed multiple times, only for 1 night at a time. No issues so far

As said, plenty of campers. We stayed for 4-5 nights hoping for the rain to pass. On the third morning, around 11 am, we were told we had to move earlier in the morning. The parking lot was half empty, so why bother ?

Stayed there for 3 night with no problem but a lot of other campers!
Some people said that when there are too many campers after 9 am they give a warning but if you move before 9 am no problem
