    Hey folks
    Does anyone know of a private parking spot in the Wilmington NC area? I know there is Phoenix Travel Center however I do not know if they allow overnight or long term parking. Looking for a shop or truck stop that might have a yard where I can park while I am home.

    Drive around and knock on doors. Thats what I did.

    Cement plant near me had a back lot. Secure and safe parking with 24 hr access.

    Any RV storage places? Old gas station with big lot? Businesses?
    Wont know if you dont ask.

    There was a place there where we picked up Baled cotton. Just outside Wilmington. They had plenty of parking and possibly paid parking. I don't recall, but I saw a few trucks parked out there.

    We were in Wilmington every Monday for one of our customers. Also picked up at South Atlantic Services, there, just past a lil ole truck stop. Shady folks there though. :D

    It was at the corner of 74 and 421/17. It is a Shell with a Subway inside. Spent many a night here after last delivery in Wilmington with an AM p/u at SAS.

    Ask them... they should be able to point you in the right direction.

    Ya, what Hurst said. I needed a place to park in my home town. I drove around and found tons and tons and tons of places to park that the owners would allow me to. I ended up at a construction company that was fenced in and locked. He gave me a key to the lock. He didn't charge me. He said I was a local company owner and was glad to help out.

    I live in the wilmington area. There is a small independent truck stop at the corner of US 421, and SR 210. You can park there

    No , it is just a little MoM and PoP store with a lot of parking. Trucks park there all the time. They will also let you park at phoenix I-40 exit 408
     
    kw600 Thanks this.

    You can try calling the local sheriff's non-emergency number and ask if they have any leads.
