Description
We did not stay at Home Hardware in Cranbrook yet, but I called today and asked customer service if people could stay there one night in their rv. He said YES. I asked if the sign saying people could overnight there for 1 night is still there, and he said yes it was.
I also called Home Depot, and the manager said no, they do not allow it anymore.
So, Home Hardware it is! Happy Travels All!

Latest Check-Ins
gps brought me to the Walmart, but the real spot is northeast at the home hardware. Awesome to see a place with welcome signs, not "no overnight" signs. every other parking lot here has "no overnight" signs. keep it clean so we don't lose it!
Report Check-InSign stating “Overnight Parking for Truckers and Campers is WELCOME! 6PM to 8 AM” is still posted in the parking lot.
Report Check-InSpending the night here, reassured by the "camping allowed" signs. There is another van and a bigger RV in the lot. Assuming the traffic noise will ease off as the evening goes on.
Report Check-InStayed the night. Arrived after midnight. Only one other RV in the lot. Quiet night. Employee started arriving between 6-7am, but never bothered me. Great place to get a night's sleep!
Report Check-InIts great! Not many places around here will allow you to park overnight!

Report Check-InStayed one night. Park in white line carparks (not yellow). A few other cars/caravans also staying. Left before 7. Great spot. Walmart and Canadian superstore close at 10pm
Report Check-InNice place for overnight parking. Good Telus signal. Pretty quiet for the night until 6AM. We were 4-5 RVs yesterday night. Thank you Home Hardware.
Report Check-InSo nice of Home Hardware to lend their lot! Gets noisy in the morning, maybe 6-7? Please arrive late and leave early as they request.
Report Check-InThanks Home Hardware, right in town, please respect the rules arrive after 6pm and leave before 8am. Store opens at 7. Gives you an hour to shop, don't go to Walmart unless HH doesn't carry it, support your host!
Report Check-InQuiet overnight, but when first getting settled in (9:30pm) really noisy with vehicles driving by lot and sirens in distance.
Many others parking here overnight as it looks to be the only place welcoming overnight parking.
Easy walk over to Walmart
Good spot from 6pm to 8am. Unfortunately people are showing up at 5 today while the store is open taking away parking space for customers. I wonder how much longer they will allow rvers there!
Report Check-InGreat location for a quiet stop Loads of shopping around Problem is that all the rigs are forced into this part of the park and got a bit congested when we stayed Maybe best to get off early because I can see potential restrictions if other retailers don't open up
Report Check-Inexcellent and surprisingly quiet. still welcoming. Hint... there's always something you need in this store.
Report Check-InGreat place to stop for an overnight.
Did our grocery shopping at the Walmart beside this place after crossing the border in Roosville. Confirmed the No Overnight signs all over the Walmart parking lot.
A few other RVs in the lot.
I did see a person filling water jugs from a faucet on the front wall of the building.
A big log which is also with Walmart and Superstore. A lot of big placards around Walmart saying No overnight camping but at Home Hatdware lot it has a placard saying We Welcome Overnight Campers.
Report Check-InI just spent the last hour and a half driving in the dark and and a bit of a wet snowfall and was so happy to find this place for the night. Signs still posted saying overnight parking allowed. Thanks Home Hardware!!
Report Check-Inwe stayed one night here. pretty quiet. we really appreciate that they allow travelers to stay here because the surrounding stores have made it clear they dont want overnight parking.
Report Check-InThey still allow rv overnight parking. Thank you Home Hardware! Had a very quiet night.
Report Check-InNice parking lot for a nights stay. They ask that you park at one side or the other.
Report Check-InAs mentioned in other posts, big signs to say RVs are welcome to park overnight. A few trucks came in as well and as usual left their engines running all night but overall this is a good parking spot. Just don’t park on Walmart side. We have never seen so many signs saying no overnight parking!
Report Check-InQuiet and no issues. Stayed for one night, moderate customer parking the next morning.
Report Check-InThankful for this home hardware!
We were in a pinch to find a place to sleep for the night.
As described - signs allowing RV/truck parking 6pm - 8am, while Walmart has no overnight signs. Was quiet and safe.
Report Check-InThey have signs that we come RVs and trucks to park overnight from 6pm to 8am. Walmart is next door and open until 10pm if you need washrooms. Lots of other stores and groceries nearby.
Report Check-Inindeed the signs here welcome overnight 8pm to 6 am while walmart clearly forbids RV parking over night. look for the white lines parking lot (walmart is yellow)
Report Check-InThe Home Hardware has big signs saying they welcome RV and trucker overnight parking. The marked lines in their lot are white. The surrounding businesses and Walmart have yellow lines and many many signs saying no overnight parking.
Report Check-InHome hardware welcomes us on his parking while all other big boxes around have planted No Overnight signs everywhere
