    I cant really see many drivers paying to camp. What about having trucks idling all night, would not be like camping if you asked me. Are you going to have a 24 hour restaurant? Able to pull in at any hour? Having a serene place to take a break would be great but anywhere a bunch of trucks gather is by definition not serene.

    No it won't work. Florida is great for retires but truckers, it seems dead.

    What facilities will you have and what will you charge per night?
    In that area a trucker can find a motel pretty cheap.
    You're not looking at a money making proposition.

    I think a lot with truck parking with a diner would make more $

    a place for you guys to rest safely and relax to start out, in a camping atmosphere and if all goes well ,maybe add some home cooked meals , open to reasonable suggestions

    I think you should go to the local truck stops and ask around and see what the drivers in your area think
