    My wife and I lived at a camp ground, on the TN River and we love it. I would think that like minded truckers would love this idea, I know I do..

    You don't necessarily have to have spots big enough for truck and trailer, you could make a lot that holds as many trailers as you have spots. A dirt lot would be ok, nothing fancy. We come in, drop our trailer and bob tail to our spot. You could set it up in such a way that when the trucker comes in, he has to get a ticket before the gate raises or something like that anyway. I have wanted to open my own camp ground for a while but, never thought about a truckers camp ground. A seriously kool idea and I hope you can get it off the ground...

    What about discounts if you show a cdl? Stuff is expensive enough on the road as it is

    Hopefully, the owners wouldn't just set prices as all truck stops do but, be more competitive...

    Nice to see folks take this idea seriously. For my self, I was thinking no cars. No lizards, bums, ect. Pull thru with optional elec. I have a pal who runs a KOA. he says the idea would be a breeze to construct. Access to the highway would be the biggest issue.
     
    SheepDog Thanks this.

    Wouldn't do any good unless you could compress there 30 min break. Seems most spend it on the island.

    i would stop, i been lookin for a campground where i could park my truck and even walk in with a tent, florida may be a little hot for that tho. i just wouldnt want idling trucks as i would prefer some peace an quiet and a little bit of nature. i would prefer to pay for a campground than a motel but thats me, like the one person said might be better as a regular campground with a section for trucks.
     
    SheepDog Thanks this.
