a walmart parking lot is no fun. They are noisy, toomuch light.
I learned on our trip to LA that if call a campsite that you think you can make, you can usually reserve a spot for the night.
another option, but this usually requires 24 h notice, is harvesthosts. You can now stay at golf courses.
The Park Advisor android app is very useful. We managed to stay in some very nice campsites with little or no notice. A data plan and smartphone is very helpful.
