I'm not sure but I think that you can't stay over night in that Wal-Mart due to city ordinance.
Remember "Without Trucker's America Stops" It's too late to save your shoes..so roll up your pant legs "When all else fails..Amateur Radio" I need a lot more Coffee & Old Bushmills Semper Fi
Diaz Lake county park is $10 a night dry camping at Lone Pine. Also McGee creek has a camp ground and a RV park $30 for hookups, nice and good fishing right out your door.
I just got back from the high sierras. If your heading up 395, dont dry camp in a pkg lot. There are too many nice campgrounds to stay at. Rock Creek had a dump station and water right off 395 near Toms place. The campgrounds there are nice but the road is a climb the further up you go. Convict Lake is few miles north of Toms Place and its only two miles west off 395. 20 bucks a night and first come first serve but nice place to stay. They have nice bathrooms and water through out the campground. Showers too. Staff was super friendly.
Tuttle Creed west of Lone Pine, and Goodale Creek west of Aberdeen are beautiful BLM campgrounds, inexpensive and spacious. If you have the AAA Eastern Sierra map, you should be able to find them.
I agree about the BLM camps: Tuttle Creek, Goodale, Crowley Lake, and Horton Creek. I prefer the first two, have stayed in each at least once a year for about 10 years. http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/bishop/recreation.html
I've stayed at Tuttle and Goodale several times and they are great places. We're planning on staying at Crowley Lake for the first time next week and are just curious. Why do you prefer Tuttle and Goodale over Crowley? Is there something we should be aware of at Crowley? We have a 36' rig with toad and Crowley looks flat and easy to get into the sites. At Tuttle and Goodale the sites that accomodate our rig aren't too level.

We will be heading north from Bishop to Crowley.
Thanks for your time.

Crowley Lake is not near the Lake it's on the west side of 395.
Convict Lake is a nice place to stay we went there last week.We stayed at Tuttle Creek very nice. We stayed at Horton Creek also, the place was almost empty only us and three other campers and that was including the camp host.
Paradise Valley Campground run by Inyo county is nice also, have a safe trip.
