I find it rather strange that Camping World does not provide space to park an RV at their stores. Example the store at Columbia SC. Last year I was in the area an exited off I20 to shop at the Camping World store and after driving out of my way to get there, there was no where to park. I had to drive past the store and go up the street and turn around in a car dealership lot. I wasted probable 30-45 of travel time.

The store at Colfax NC has a small area but you have to pull through the lot where the travel trailers are parked and make a circle and squeeze in between the travel trailers to find a place to park. I don't know about other Camping World sites but there are a lot of RVs and Travel Trailers passing by your stores and no where to pull in and shop. DUH!!

The one close to Minneapolis has quite a few sites for overnight, behind the store. I guess it differs from store to store, depending on the room they had.

EDIT: Sorry, I was corrected - parking spaces only

Please read his last line. OP is not talking about overnight, but for shopping!

Both of the stores in my area have rather large parking lots. Usually full of trailers and MH's.

Yes, it differs from store to store. We actually overnighted at a Camping World south of Sandy, UT. Before parking for the night, we parked in front, went in and shopped and asked about overnighting and they directed us to the back. Not a problem.

Camping World in Flagstaff also has room to pull in and shop and Camping World in Meridian, ID is very spacious - lots of room to pull in and even has back in spots for overnighting.

The one in Denton, Texas off of I35 has a somewhat large parking lot. They park a lot of their rental Rv's there also, but still enough room for stopping in.

All of them I have been to have decent size lots and long spaces. Of course these were in more rural areas where property is affordable.

The Camping World in New Braunfels, TX, has spaces you can pull through. There are several there, but if it were really crowded, you might not be able to find one.

I have driven 2 hours to the Rocklin CA store, trailer in tow to but toys for it, and ended up having to go home without parking - as there was no place to park a pickup and 40' toyhauler. Ended up going amazon because of it.

I would think if they have a service department and garage bays they would have parking.I know that Lake City FL CW at first look it seems hard to get just my dually into the lot.But all those trailers and motorhomes got in their somehow.Around back is alot of parking.But I would hate to just pull in and find out there is no where to turn around in a smaller lot.Maybe some signage at the entrances of the smaller lots telling you where to park?
