RVs: A Tip for Overcrowded Campgrounds

It’s been said that 2020 might just be the summer of the RV.

Both sales and rentals are way up as American families crowd into these self-contained quarantine mobiles to rediscover America. But where are they going?

They’re going to national and state parks as well as hundreds of campgrounds across the United States. The problem is that these parks and campgrounds will soon become overcrowded and then full.

So then what happens? Well, there may be some good news.

It’s not widely known, but a number of Walmarts around the country are now making their parking lots available for overnight parking at no charge. Some Walmarts are even providing free WiFi. Always call ahead, because not all Walmarts are doing it due to local codes and restrictions.
