Know before you go
  • Always call ahead to the store manager to confirm current overnight parking policies, as local ordinances and management decisions can change.
  • This is a commercial parking lot, not a scenic boondocking spot; expect typical urban noise and lighting.
  • No facilities are provided for camping; this is strictly overnight parking for self-contained RVs.
  • Pack out all trash and respect the property as a guest of the business.
  • There are no fees associated with overnight parking, but supporting the store with purchases is customary.
Pro tips from boondockers
  • Park in the designated RV parking areas, often towards the perimeter of the lot, to minimize impact on regular customer parking.
  • Arrive later in the evening and depart earlier in the morning to be less conspicuous.
  • Stock up on groceries and supplies to support the store and prepare for your next adventure.
  • Utilize the nearby Flambeau River for paddling or local lakes for fishing, both easily accessible from Ladysmith.
  • Refuel your vehicle here; Walmart often has competitive gas prices nearby or on-site.
