i know u can camp in your rv in walmart parkinglot but has anyone tried tent camping would this be allowed?
Answer
Yes, Walmart's official corporate policies on what customers are allowed to do in their parking lots are very relaxed. People can and do camp in tents in Walmart parking lots. They even tailgate. You shouldn't have any problems, but it's probably a good idea to call the local store during business hours and check with the manager to make sure that it won't be a problem with the security staff and/or local police.

when buying a tent and camping gear is walmart the place to go because they are easy to return?
Drifter
Planning long camping trip. Getting new important stuff [tent, mattresses, stuff....] We will be going place to place all summer. Tenting, hotel, tenting,hotel off and on. I have purchased tents before that just leak from day one. So I am thinking I should just get a coleman or I am looking at this texasport 10 man tent which looks nice at Walmart. If I get the tent and mattresses at walmart and there is a problem I can return them with ease [except driving to a walmart]. There is one pretty much all over. Anyone know if walmart has anything good at all ? They have the simmons and sealy air mattresses for like 80.00 which is pretty good.

Answer
It sounds like you're planning a nice trip. Why spoil it by putting up with leaking tents and repeated trips to Walmart to exchange one poorly-made tent for another? There are many good models in the $200-300 range that, if not abused, will offer a comfortable and dry nights sleep. I've had good experience with Eureka tents, but there are plenty of other quality manufacturers of 2 to 4-person tents in that price range, particularly the Timberline and Mountain Pass series, which provide great weather protection and ventilation at a reasonable price. But there are many other quality brands to choose from.
Big tents can be difficult to setup and pack-up by yourself, and the extra space isn't necessary. The tent is your bedroom while camping; you only go inside to sleep. The outdoors is your living room, kitchen, dining room. You would never want to cook, eat or store food inside your tent because this would attract insects and animals. Much better to setup a separate kitchen/dining area away from your tent, covered by a tarp or screen room for protection from rain and flying insects. The rest of the time is spent out enjoying nature. After all, isn't that the reason for camping in the first place?
