A recent RVtravel.com reader poll reveals strong interest in Love’s RV Stops (campgrounds), with nearly two-thirds of respondents saying they have either stayed at one or plan to in the future. The poll came as Love’s announced the opening of its 100th dedicated RV Stop across the U.S. Since then, a 101st location opened in Winslow, Arizona.
The poll asked: “Have you ever stayed overnight at a Love’s RV Stop?” Among the more than 1,300 respondents:
• 3% said “Yes, many times”
• 10% said “Yes, a few times”
• 10% said “Yes, once”
• 41% said “No, but I’m sure I will at some point”
• 36% said “No, I probably won’t ever”
“We’ve used them about 5 or 6 times,” said an RVtravel.com reader named Bryan. “Some of the Love’s RV Stops have felt like a pay-to-stay Wal-Mart parking lot with hook-ups. Others have felt pretty decent and comfortable. But all have been convenient and were what we needed at the time.”
Reader Jim Johnson commented: “We have stopped at Love’s with RV facilities for fuel and sometimes a meal. So far, they are not located where we would spend a rest night. But as the network expands, I can see us doing so – at least for overnights on our way to somewhere else.”
Love’s RV Stops typically offer full-hookup RV spaces near or adjacent to existing Love’s Travel Stops, giving RVers access to amenities like fuel, food, showers, and convenience items in one location.
The poll results suggest the company’s growing presence is resonating with a large and mobile audience looking for reliable, accessible overnight options.

Horrible! Way overpriced, noisy, smelly, and most are back in spots. Never again!
They need to be all pull thru RV sites, if I have a motor home with a toad I do not want to unhook for a single nite. I have a 40′ fifth wheel, a pull thru is super easy and fast for a 1 nite stay.
How does a 77% “no” response equate to popular with RV travel readers? Just saying…
Hi, John. I guess it was the “positive” portion of this response that got added to the overall “popular” result: 41% said “No, but I’m sure I will at some point”. Have a good evening/night. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
Let me ruminate on that…lol
We have stayed at 5 or 6 of the small back-in spots on the parking lot of the truck stop in the past. Not happy with having to unhook the towed and back in but other than that they served the purpose. In May we stopped at the Love’s in Brigham City, Utah. This was a totally different experience. Large pull through sites, level spots, good water, elec, and sewer hook-ups. Plus this park probably had 30 spots behind a security gate that was across the street from the truck stop. We were definitely impressed with this location and would recommend it to others.
Thank you for compiling and reporting the survey results, RV Travel. Have a great day and safe travels!
I’ve never stayed at one, but no way am I paying 50 to 60+ dollars a night to sleep in a parking lot. There are many free alternatives if I’m just passing through and looking for a place to park and sleep.
Well that little article was a “nothing burger”. A map and pricing no where to be found. Couldn’t find any prices on the Love’s web site also without “joining” and making a reservation for certain dates and a certain location. We stay at Boondockers Welcome and Harvest Host. Love’s, meh.
The pricing is ridiculous at $55-$60 per night in most locations.
Just think what a bargain to smell clouds of diesel smoke while cooking your dinner.
Then you get to try to sleep with the sound of 85 noisy truck engines just a few feet from your bedroom window.
None for me thanks! @@
We’ll be in one next week that’s on the way to our destination. Safe, clean, with food, fuel, and a dog park and this one is free. We’ve also stayed in ones with hook ups and they are pricey but the convenience is well worth it. I always have to laugh when people travelling in vehicles that cost tens of thousands of dollars, and often much more, complain about the price of a place to park it for a night. Don’t compare it to a destination. It’s just a convenient place to overnite.
I’m hoping that most of my destinations don’t charge over $60 per night to stay. I certainly didn’t want to pay that for 8 hours of concrete to park on and charge my RV at a gas station.
I was excited to see Loves was doing this, then went to make a reservation and try it, $65. The Pilot/Flying J at the next exit let us stay till 6am for free. Free is better than $65.
When are they going to expand to the east coast. I travel at I-95 Corridor to Florida and I believe there’s only one. Lots of Love’s stations but no RV parking. Really for the busiest route on the East Coast only one?
You’re correct, KAS. I just looked at their map and there appears to be only one Love’s RV Stop along the East Coast on I-95, that being near Jacksonville, FL. Maybe you should write to them and make that suggestion, especially since I-95 is almost 2,000 miles long.🤔 Have a good night. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
