There was not a state park or acceptable other RV park area near Andersonville, so I decided to try out one of the new Love's RV parks that they have added to their larger truck stops. They are expensive and I really do not need a full hookup site very often, but they are right off freeways and have the gas station and food nearby.
The first night, I stayed in this spot, which backed up to the truck stop. The problem was that it was very noisy with trucks coming and going and running their engines and generators all night. However, the site was paved and large enough, with working hookups. As you can see, landscaping is pretty new, but each site did have a picnic table and a fire pit behind it.
The next two photos show that the place is really just a large parking lot with some amenities.
These parking spots in the front are for the nearby splash pad and pickle ball courts, but on the far left you can see more back-in spots, and on the right a row of pull-through spots. The pull-through spots were almost entirely full, with only a couple of rigs, including mine for the second night, in this row of back-in spots. (You would be amazed at how many people can pull large rigs or drive motorhomes, but not know how to back into a camping spot!!!)
This shows the splash pad and the pickle ball court. There is also a laundry and shower room available. Ditto for a communal fire pit, although I did not see anyone using these. Most people were here for a quick night's stop, not for a camping experience.
This Love's was so new, I could not find a map on Google, but this is the site plan offered for reservations. I would strongly recommend getting a back-in spot of the north side of the RV park, as far away from the truck stop and freeway as possible!! (Or a pull-through for those who cannot back in. 😲)
Will I stay here again? Only in an emergency or when I am in a hurry and do not want to take the time to search for a state park!
