Walmart — Barstow Supercenter

Walmart Barstow Supercenter accommodates overnight RV parking on both paved and unpaved areas despite posted "no overnight parking" signs. The facility sits along major travel routes through Barstow, making it a convenient stopover for travelers crossing the Mojave Desert region.

Campers typically park in two main areas: the main asphalt parking lot in front of the store or a large flat dirt area on the southern edge of the property. Security staff direct RVers to the gravel lot, though multiple reviewers note that vehicles parked on the paved surface generally aren't bothered. The dirt area provides ample space for RVs and semi-trucks, with reviewers reporting room for multiple vehicles. Lighting from the store illuminates both parking areas throughout the night.

The parking lot stays busy until around 9:30 PM, then quiets down significantly for the remainder of the night. One camper noted finding "four other RVs, three vans and maybe two cars" during their stay. Cell service remains strong throughout the property, and the store provides access to supplies and restrooms during business hours.

For RVers seeking a more traditional camping experience, Shady Lane RV Camp offers full hookups just north of the area.
