To all prospective Wal-Mart campers,
To find the Wal-Mart locations that are available for your next outing,
simply go to www.walmart.com. There you will find a store locator that
will show you all the stores near whatever destination you choose.  We
found it very helpful on our recent ski trip to Colorado. In Colorado,
many stores even come with a great view of the mountains!  Most
Wal-Marts also stay open in the winter---most campgrounds don't.
    My wife and I check at the customer service desk to be sure we have
permission. They are always very nice and often suggest a good area to
park (usually a quiet area with other campers).  Asking permission also
lets them warn us of any potential problems from city regulations, etc.
A few cities--such as Flagstaff, Arizona--have laws that restrict
Wal-Mart's offer.
   Of course our camping adventures include more than just a tour of the
local Wal-Marts, but at times it is a good option for us and we thank
Wal-Mart for making it possible.

Happy adventuring,
