Walmart (I-81 exit 6), Hagerstown, MD

Date of Stay:  Monday June 22, 2015 (1 night)

Rate:  Shopping trip (varies)

Website:  Walmart
   17850 Garland Groh Blvd
   Hagerstown, MD 21740
   301-714-1373

Description:  Large shopping center right beside I-81.  Customer service folks said it was fine to park over night near the access road away from the store.  Quite a lot of road noise and not completely level, but had a long day and needed some rest.

Activities:  Overnighter after a long day.  I drove almost five hours from Bulltown CG to go to Roanoke Camping World, messed around with them for over three hours, then I drove another four hours or more to pull in here for the night.  We were tired.  No new air conditioner either.  The part number wasn’t what is recommended on the Coleman website so we didn’t feel comfortable having it installed there.  The new store manager, Kevin, did refund our deposit.  We called the Winnebago dealer in Bangor since we will be in the area there for the month of July.  They recommended an RV service store right on our route so I called them to get an appointment for July 1.  Hope they are competent.

  

Parked far away from the store in a large shopping center

Description:  Big parking lot with signs near the Garden Center side giving the OK for RVs to park overnight.  Looking out our door into an undeveloped lot.  Nice to have trees beside us.

Activities:  Overnighter on our way back to NC with an abscessed tooth.  Very convenient to I-95 at exit 126.  I tried to time the DC traffic right but it still took about 2 hours to go 20 miles.  Signs posted for RV parking so I didn’t even go inside the store.

Walmart (I-71 exit 169), Mansfield, OH

Date of Stay:  Thursday June 13, 2013 (1 night)

Rate:  Shopping trip (varies)

Website:  WalMart
   2485 Possum Run Road
   Mansfield, OH 44903
   419-756-2850

Description:  We followed the signs for trucks and parked on the Gardening Center side.  Another motorhome stayed overnight along with a couple of trucks.  We noticed a couple of fifth wheels in the main parking lot too.  A few restaurants within easy walking distance.

Activities:  We didn’t find a convenient rv park for an overnighter so we pulled in at this Walmart conveniently located at exit 169 from I-71.  After checking in at the customer service desk, we shopped for a few supplies.  We then walked over to Applebees for supper.  Considering that we were close to I-71, we all slept well.  Guess we were tired.
