Walmart — Orange Park Supercenter

You will realize just how busy this particular Walmart Supercenter is by the long line getting in and out of this place, but once you do make it here, you’ll find one very large, behemoth-sized parking lot with which to navigate around all of the buzzing traffic. And while you will notice that there are more vacant spots to find on the far western side, which is the same area from which you likely entered (closest to Route 21) you will also have to contend with no shortage of traffic trickling in and out of here, so IMHO the best spots to lay up for the night would be on the northern or southern corners of the store’s perimeter, where not only is much quieter, but there’s also some decent foliage and shade. 

The parking lot itself is level and the whole place seems to be in really good condition, including the store itself where outside, there’s excellent lighting and apart from the highway that brought you in here, this retailer sits in an otherwise residential community adding to the P&Q factor. If you need to load up on anything for your travels, apart from this Walmart, which should pretty much have you covered, nearby you’ll also find a Publix as well as a Dollar Tree, Aldi’s and Walgreen’s. There’s not much in the way of grub around this strip, unless you count fast-food a viable option, of which all of the standards are within close vicinity.

While scoring criteria may vary from one person to the next, here are the 5 most important criteria that informed my rating of this overnight location: convenience (EZ on- and off-access), safety & security, quality (of facilities), peace & quiet and amenities (either on-site or nearby).
