We've done it a time or two in transition to our next destination. It's parking lot stopping, so it is what it is. We ask a manager while in shopping if it's ok to park overnight, and in the few we've been at, it's never been a problem.

Just be aware of local ordinances that prohibit it. They have had signs in the parking lots warning of that if it's applicable.

Here is what is on the official Sam's Club web site...

RV Parking Policy @ Sam's Club

Can I park an RV at Sam's Club?:

Parking policies may vary from Club to Club due to local zoning restrictions.Find a Sam's Club by City and State or ZIP; you should verify with the Club Manager if it is permissable to use the parking lot for any overnight vehicle stays.Failure to notify Club management in advance, could result in unauthorized vehicles being towed at the expense of the vehicle owner.

As to local ordinances, mostly those issues are from cities. A club not inside a city limits is less likely to have a "no overnight parking ordinance".
