Walmart at Tsawwassen Mills | Informal Campsite

April 6th, 2024 by allison.gray9057

As mentioned by others, signs have been put up but likely aren’t being enforced. Stayed two nights at the back of the lot without issue. Relatively quiet except some cars going by. Couple other RVs and campers stayed as well.

No overnight parking signage in effect. This changed recently.

December 11th, 2023 by jamessuttar

No overnight signs everywhere

Max 3 hour customer parking

Another great spot ruined by people that over stay their welcome.

Great spot. Spent a very quiet night with 4+ other campers on a Tuesday. Spoke to a Walmart employee first regarding the the signs, turns out the mall installed them and they are not enforced, Walmart is happy to have overnighters. 24 hrs max but if you are staying the night make sure you are gone by 9am.

10 RVs gone by morning opening, quiet, if you stay by the grass patch, beware of sprinklers

September 6th, 2023 by ghostr88

stay one night after the ferry. No Problem. good sleep. 8-10 rvs stayed this night here

July 31st, 2023 by clyonnais0531

I stayed there overnight this week and had no issue. left at 6h30AM without being woken up or asked to move. it's really a hit and miss these days with the spot but anytime I went I had no issue!

Spent another night here after a late ferry, was not bothered despite the signs and there was still a few other campers with us

This place is permanently closed.

July 13th, 2023 by brunnburg

Not allowed anymore. NO OVERNIGHT PARKING, see picture

July 13th, 2023 by ourFernpost

Wanted to spend a night here. Unfortunately, it is recently forbidden to stay overnight here. See photo!

July 5th, 2023 by powerplay8780

Stayed overnight here with about a dozen other campers for 3 consecutive nights, left during the day and came back at night and was never bothered

June 24th, 2023 by aflint74

Stayed for the night before an early ferry ride. Great stop and made it easy to get to the ferry at 5am.

June 18th, 2023 by RAV4Girl

quiet sleep, wifi reached our camper. lots of other RVers there. thank you walmart

June 15th, 2023 by tcitr1098

Nice big parking lot, pretty quiet at night and felt very safe. Tim Hortons, A&W, and lots of other places to eat within a few minutes walk. Seems to be a popular spot there were about 10-15 RVs / campers when I stayed.

June 8th, 2023 by jess

stayed here 2 night. super quiet, a few other rv

April 7th, 2023 by linak3110

We stayed more or less 5 Weeks. We leaf during the Day and spend the nights there. Super quiet. And you are never alone. There are Always RV, Campers, etc.
But there is No WiFi in the parking lot.

March 28th, 2023 by ourFernpost

We stood here for 3 days. Every now and then other RV were here. Quiet area. No controls. Clean parking lot.

The closer you stood to the Walmart, there was the option for Wifi.
Restrooms inside the Walmart. Clean and adequate. No showers.

November 25th, 2022 by felixhuellen

Stayed one night. Relatively quiet. A few others.

Spent the night and it was relatively quiet. Signs say parking is allowed for 24hours max. There were 4 or 5 other campers.

It appears that they do somewhat enforce 24hour rule. Some vehicles had a sign taped to the door, saying they would be towed, if not moved by the 3rd at 11am.

November 2nd, 2022 by sydneyberger

Nuit au Walmart très calme. Nous nous sommes mis au fond du parking près des lampadaires avec noté "max 24hr"

September 9th, 2022 by Don Weerdenburg

We arrived in the early afternoon; there were already a few RVs parked here. We set up right below a sign that says 24H Max Parking.

This place is permanently closed.

September 7th, 2022 by kleine.erlebnisse

Arrived and checked with the management on duty, got the info it is alright to stay overnight. Two remarks given: Keep the place clean and no liability on Walmart's side for whatever might occur (my guess: potential break in, damaged car, usual parking lot stuff).
There are easy 10+ campers in the parking lot this night. Keep it clean, be mindful - it might stay open...

July 30th, 2022 by alison.lorna.rose

max 24hr parking signs. lots of tv's. nice and quiet, close to ferry.

June 7th, 2022 by palms.and.pinetrees

Overnight camping (just one night) is still possible. We asked an employee of Walmart and he said we are more than welcome.

There were about 5-6 other vans/motorhomes.

May 18th, 2022 by sommer.dunand

Overnight parking no longer allowed, signs posted around parking lot. Was asked to leave by management of be towed.

April 21st, 2022 by zraden.c3

Sadly, an off duty police officer got shot and lost his life here. Because of this, the overgrown popularity of this spot, people running their genns all hours of the night and some people trying to move in permanently, Walmart notified me I was allowed the night, but they would soon be taking a harder stance on overnight parking.
Doubtful it will be open for overnight 2022 camp season. To bad as it was a great place to rest before an early ferry.

March 1st, 2022 by OT

Parking maximum 24 hours. Still available!

November 27th, 2021 by cs

Stayed here in a pinch as we needed to catch the first ferry out in the morning. Arrived late at night - there were 3 other overnighter dispersed around. Free stay, lots of space, well-lit and short drive to/from ferry terminal. Did the job for one night.

October 1st, 2021 by sierraindia87

SO many RV’s… at least a dozen had to park over in the mall lot because there were so many in this lot. Symphony of generators!!!!! Ya’ll need to invest in some solar panels & lithium batteries, eh?!

September 23rd, 2021 by fivesisvacations

Like anyone else said, nice and big parking lot, quiet and safe, we got here around 9pm , 4 RVs here, still few restaurants are open! Next to the outlet mall !! Thank you for a FREE safe night camping!!

September 5th, 2021 by Ramesh&Namita

Many many RVs here! We stayed here after a late ferry back from the Island, very convenient location for that.

August 27th, 2021 by williamzhai2012

Second night here.

Weekend turned Walmart parking lot into Walmart campground

Campground turned Walmart into Warm-mart

Thank you again Warmmart!

August 26th, 2021 by williamzhai2012

Best place in Vancouver and Richmond area

Many campers together
Thank you Walmart

August 23rd, 2021 by Alex33

Walmart parking lot. Several RVs. 7 minutes drive from the ferry

August 9th, 2021 by caroleetdaniel

Bonne endroit dodo pour le retour de l’île de Vancouver on est arrivé tard il y avait plus d’une vingtaine de Vr de toute les grandeurs,seul chose que je déplore c’est que la même situation que à notre départ pour l’île de Vancouver encore les plus gros Motorisé prennent plus de 6 places de stationnement ouvre leurs 4 extensions et sortes leur auvent comme si ils serait dans un camping.(On a constaté à l’île de Vancouver à Victoria) ,(AUNCUN Walmart accepte les VR peut importe la GRANDEUR petit ou grand on c’est fait dire qu’il y avait eu débordement . Même le stationnement du port à 12.00 $ pour 24 hrs n’accepte plus les Vr petits ou grand GROSSES AFFICHES PARTOUT AVEC SURVEILLANCE GARDIENS DE Stationnement à qui donnent des contreventions.)ALLOR si vous ne voulez pas qu’il arrivent la même chose au Walmart de Tsawwassen Mills soyez respectueux et n’envahissez pas le stationnement.c’est très pratique à l’aller et au retour de l’île de Vancouver.

August 2nd, 2021 by caroleetdaniel

1ère expérience de stationnement de Walmart,demande faite au service à la clientèle,personnel très accueillant explications faite des directives que Walmart se dégage des responsabilités si un incident survient il y a de la place pour toutes sortes de véhicules de toute les grosseurs.bonne place pour retour tardive de l’île de Vancouver ou pour départ tôt pour l’île de Vancouver.
Seul bémol que j’ai remarqué les GROS PICKUP avec leurs GROS 4 1/2 accroché à leur camion prennent l’espace de 6 places de stationnement ouvre leur auvent et s’assoit sur leurs chaises comme si ils étaient sur un terrain de camping. S.V.P. ne prenez pas pour acquis les permissions donner SOYEZ UN PEU PLUS DISCRET pour ne pas BRÛLER SES emplacements pratiques pour dépanner on est le 02 août 2021 et il y a plus que 20 VR a utiliser le stationnement GRATUIT.

perfect location for a good sleep before an early boarding

June 26th, 2021 by ofwingsandwheels

stayed here two consecutive nights (left during the day), and wasn't bothered by security. there were several other campers/rvs. there isn't much shade, but the farthest corner from the entrance seemed like the best spot.

April 14th, 2021 by nicguin54

Good spot close to the ferry, many RVs!!

September 27th, 2020 by RaVing

Good for a quick over night stop before taking the early ferry. Plenty of others parked there. Park on right side of lot when facing the Walmart. No bathrooms around after Walmart closes.

September 3rd, 2020 by piltsstephen

good for a quick stop after a late ferry arrival. think we shared with approx 10-15 others last night

September 1st, 2020 by ga_c_pelo

Stayed here after a ferry trip from Victoria. A few camper (about 10) where aslo here. Walmart was open late and the place was clean. Only downside, the lights in the parking where agressive.

August 2nd, 2020 by mary-thurber

it's a long weekend and it seems like there will be 15 sets of people sleeping here.
Walmart open till 11 pm. lots of drive thru food nearby. I got Shaw open internet.
good place for a pre or post ferry stop.

July 18th, 2020 by zraden.c3

Nice quiet night at the Walmart parking lot. Use the right side ( if looking at the Walmart) to park as even during busy times at the store, this parking lot is virtually empty. Easy not to long term here. When you get up in the morning, head down to Tawwassen Beach. 5 min drive. Beautiful view and free parking to slowly take your time getting ready in the morning.

October 26th, 2019 by imke184

Sorry my last comment was meant for a different place!

October 26th, 2019 by imke184

Police sent us away at 8pm and said we can’t stay overnight here.

September 8th, 2019 by teafortwobakeshop

So many RVs here!
It was nice to be around all the restaurants and Canadian tire.

September 7th, 2019 by elisagabet

Classic Walmart parking where you can stay overnight. Good place, clean and quiet.

August 5th, 2019 by jackslezak1

Typical Walmart parking. Camped in the smaller of the two lots with lots of other RVs and vans. The mall is right across the street and there are lots of shops nearby.

August 2nd, 2019 by croodstrotters.wordpress.com

Hello
Really quiet night after 11.00PM.
In the evening a friendly guard say that we can stay here but only for one night.
I said that I understand, It's not a RV park.
The Walmart is clean with friendly crew.
Thank to Walmart for this place .

July 30th, 2019 by melanie.m.schweiger

Slept here after arriving from the island at night. A lot of other campers. All clean and nice!

July 21st, 2019 by elsa_happy

Your usual Walmart camping. Very quiet neighborhood though. Quite a few other RVs and Vans.

May 22nd, 2019 by goroxygofar.wordpress.com

Quiet place. We’ve stayed here several times before and after our Westy was getting work done at Werke1 in Richmond.

May 21st, 2019 by c_gambino

Arrived around 9pm, an RV was near front of parking lot near road, and a van RV near rear of parking lot. Stayed with no issues. Got up around 6:30am and 2 or 3 large RVs had arrived near other one, near road. Quiet night.

March 14th, 2019 by u.ertel83

Clean, safe and after 12 pm really quiet for a place like this. Slept there for one night without any problems.

May 6th, 2018 by alice91191

It’s a Walmart parking lot so not very fancy but you have the mountains surrounding and it’s free ! Slept here 3 nights while visiting Vancouver and before taking the ferry from Tsawwassen to Victoria, didn’t have any trouble and felt safe!

September 9th, 2017 by hallo

New Walmart opened in Summer 2017.
Verry quite place for the night, shop closed at 11pm. Not far away (aprox. 3 km) to the ferry terminal
