Walmart — Ottawa Supercenter

This Walmart is completely brand spanking new, so you’ll enjoy the absolutely perfectly paved parking lot you’ve discovered here to call home for the night. Beyond this, the place is simply MASSIVE, so there really shouldn’t be any problem finding space here, especially in the later hours. Add to this, when we visited, this Walmart Supercenter wasn’t terribly busy and, further, given all of the lighting here we felt the place really delivered a sense of security and safety. If you do decide to ‘drop anchor’ at this particular low cost retailer, then you’ll want to nestle your rig on the retailer’s southern periphery where you are furthest away from nearby I39 or the main road that you took to reach this parking pad. Over here there’s a treeline that will give you some privacy and the location will ratchet up that sense of peaceful easy noise reduction you likely are looking for.

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).
