A Local RV Campground in Pensacola, FL is Highlighting Changes in RV Parking at Walmart

Pensacola, FL- The Walmart brand has had an overall decrease in the number of stores around the nation allowing for overnight RV parking. The brand currently only allows free parking at only 58 percent of stores nationwide, which has been reduced by more than 20% since 2010. As a local RV Campground in Pensacola, FL, Avalon Landing knows that having a safe place to stop between destinations is of increasing importance.

With the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), more Americans than ever are purchasing RVs and opting for camping and outdoor activities over other vacations. A representative of the Walmart brand explained that the local store manager has the choice to allow overnight RV parking, and this information is not tracked by Walmart corporate.

The company has allowed overnight RV Parking for up to 24-hours since the mid-twentieth century, with 78 percent of stores offering the service in 2010. According to research, the decease may be a direct result of travelers not respecting the Walmart property during their stay. They are choosing to either disobey the 24-hour rule or are leaving litter behind.
