The Cabellas in Billings MT has RV parking and a dump station in the lot. Not sure but I think they have electric hookup too. It is free for one night. The Cabellas in Omaha have free RV parking for one night. No hookups or dump station. The Cabellas in Phoenix has RV parking but a sign above says no overnight parking. I use freecamping.net
The spelling police have confirmed that Cabela's is spelled with one L, not two. "-)

i was never all that happy with cabelas, the one close to reno shutdown a full service truck stop.
banned any and all overnight parking years back. the casino nextdoor. has very limited truck parking. rvs are told to go down the hill to the paid rv park.
ALL streets have no parking/ no stopping signs.
but now that they are bass pro ( even though the name did not change) there pricing has gone up. and customer service has fallen into the sewer. so i do not even slow down as i pass the offramp.
I used to shop at the Owatonna, MN store and it was a very nice store. First time I shopped they gave me $20 off my order if I applied for their Master Card. It was my understanding that it was family owned but one of the owners made some political comments that didn't go over well with the other political side and that they were going to boycott the stores and that was a contributing factor in the sale to Bass Pro? Only read that once and I don't know if that is true.

It makes a fun story, but it isn't at all true. Richard Cabela, the founder (Jim joined 2 years later) passed away back in 2014 Jim who is still living tried to protect the Sidney employees to keep the HQ there but failed to do so. I don't know anything about the children of the Cabela's except that Dick had 9 of them and 3 of them are listed as residing in Sidney. They had about 2000 employees at the HQ and were by far the largest employer in the Sidney area. I think they had only 200 or 300 employees back when I was calling on them but were the second largest employer to UPRR at that time. As near as I am able to learn, there are still about 500 employees at the Sidney location and most of the buildings are now for sale. Our son does not have a good opinion of many of the changes since Bass Pro took over.
There was a call for a boycott of Cabela's related to their firearms sales and perceived association/support of the NRA, but this was after the merger with Bass Pro. The same boycott resulted in Dick's Sporting Goods deciding to end ammunition and firearms sales. There was a call for a boycott of L. L. Bean based on one of the Bean family member's campaign contributions during the 2016 election.
I don't know what or where Sidney is but you would think that there would be layoffs. Economy of scale.
As far as I know, the stores that don't let you overnight are just following local law. The scumbag politicians in my area bowed to the RV parks and made all overnight parking illegal. So our Cabella's HAS to turn you away.

Sidney Nebraska is the county seat of Cheyenne Co. and has a population of just under 7,000 people. It is located next to I-80 and is about 60 miles east of the WY border or 100 miles east of Cheyenne and the intersection of 1-80 and I-25. And there have been layoffs and economic difficulties.
Thanks Kirk: I have been to that area many years ago to visit with some sugar beet growers.
