Oh, that sounds fun. Listening to big rigs rumbling in & out of the truckstop all night long and dozens of trucks with refers running all night long. Wow! What a blast! !

Nice report, I'll have to keep that in mind. Being empty is a waste. They should drop the price to $30/nt to start a buzz about the rate, then raise it next year after everyone knows about it, or until they start filling up the park. Common sense.

This was a fun video to watch. So good to see your beautiful new rig! Good information for a quick night stop over on travel days.

Thanks for sharing Love's RVStop!

Second Loves RV park I have seen here on YT. Both look inviting to stay at. Thank you for showing all the features they offer.

Nice to have another option on the road. I agree, just keep it to the basics and put the price at $30. I wouldn't pay $50 unless I had no other option.

I'm glade to see your back on the road.....

Thanks for showing us this new RV rest stop…good to know!

Looks good, rv park. I'm glad there's a fence to keep the lot lizards out

Bojangles is an absolute must, the best briskets, its nice to see Love's providing a RV Stop Over.

What a pleasant surprise!

Thx for sharing this and your 5th wheel is beautiful

Thanks for bringing this to light. Will definitely be checking it out.

Perfect timing! We are reserved for Cordele 801 in April, and coincidently, the same spot! Easy in and out and close to the dog park. We weren't sure what to expect, but now we do. Thank you for the review and information! Love the new rig BTW!

🇺🇸From one Veteran to another. THANK YOU for your Navy service 🇺🇸👍

You two are my favorite uTube RV’s. I enjoy both of you and Daisy too. Especially love your how to videos. My husband and I are full timers in a 40 ft Class A and my hubby is very handy, ❤able to always figure out what to do when we have an issue. But Chad offers a lot of alternative solutions and practical solutions that we may not think of. Also enjoy your adventures. Thank you for all your content. We homebase in Ozark, Mo and don’t travel all year long, but always enjoy all of your adventures. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.

Nice to know info. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the invite, enjoyed the tour of the Loves RV area, glad to see the whole family together again.

Great video. I made reservations at two Loves RV sites for our return from Alaska to NY this summer. Glad to see that Loves has realized the RV market and created these sites.

Hey guys this is absolutely awesome that you posted this. I had no idea. I'm going to be making quite a few trips South this year from North Carolina through Georgia so I will definitely use this. Again thank you for this. I think this is an excellent thing for you to do as an addition to the wonderful other reviews you do

I totally agree with Chad... get rid of all amenities and just provide a pad electric & water and a dump station... that's all you need for $25 a night

Looks like a nice place to stop and rest a bit. Nice that they offer the bigger sites. I really wish Buckey's offered something like that, with their food, you could stay all week. Thanks for the report guys. Ya'll stay safe on the road and keep up the great videos.

So great to see a new place to overnight! - Thanks! - Cheers!

Nice video! Nice to know about the rv truck stop. Thanks and safe travels!

Cool deal. We always love the Loves when we travel.

I really enjoy your videos. My hubby & I love to camp & travel. We intend to start back up soon, and your videos really give us things to think about. Where to go, things to do, and places to stay. The tips are great, too!

So cool. We stayed there in the exact spot a couple of weeks ago. We were very impressed.

Wow! That’s a really nice set up! I’d stay there, for sure. Thanks for sharing ❤

Thank you for this information! You are completely right about amenities and price. Leave the dog park, but the other things not so much. I love that it was so clean and easy to get in. Hopefully the business will pick up for them once the word gets out. Love y'all and hope the 3 of you are well. 💕

I love the idea of an overnight stay at a truck stop but, I agree, $50 is overpriced especially when they charge you for pickleball (why do they even have that?!?) Then, again, Love's overcharges for everything. I hope TA/Petro follows the lead. Thanks for doing this.

I stayed at the same Loves February 6TH and was completely satisfied with my stay! Did laundry, had beers around the campfire, ate breakfast at the Bojangles in the truck stop. I rode the SAM excursion train in town and did some train spotting at the observation platform.

Thanks for the timely review. They just just built a new Loves and Loves RVStop back in our old hometown and we were contemplating using it this summer when we’re back that way. No concerns now.

Thanks for covering the Loves Cordele RV Park. In February on our way back from Florida, I seriously considered an overnight there. But $40 to stay overnight in our class C.. well we passed. However, this summer I will definitely stay overnight just so I can run the AC without having to run the generator at the rest area. Also I was impressed with the walking trail and the total fenced in area ...that sold me. Plus we love Bojangles.

I’ve seen that RV spot when I stopped at that Love’s in Cordele and k wondered about it. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the informative video as always! Great to learn about these Love’s RV Stops. When I saw the exit sign say Cordele and Exit 102 I knew right where you were. We enjoy eating at Smoakies-Bar-B-Que right across the road! Found it by accident one night years ago when we were down that way for a race….. We make it a stop now when down there or passing through to Florida from the UP of Michigan.

I must say, this Loves RV Stop is a lot nicer than other places I have stayed. Thanks for the review.

We will be there at the end of March for an overnight. I agree with you; amenities beyond the full hookups seem unneeded. That said we love the fact that this service is available and we anticipate using Love's RV stops as we travel. Making the reservation was easy!

Thanks for trying this and reporting out. I've seen one other KZreadr try the Love's RVStop, and it looks way nicer than the RV area at a Pilot/Flying J. Hope it catches on and they build more of them.

We just had a new Love's AND Love's RVStop open north of our house in Normal IL. We had not gone over to check it out yet. Once we have a 'nice' weekend, we plan to go over to check it out. Thanks for the information. How fun!!

I will be staying in Cordele in a few days but at the Georgia Veterans State Park on Lake Blackshear. Great video. Glad Love’s is building these.

Nice happy bouncy music choice Tara.

Great video as always. Thanks for the tour of the Love's RVStop! We're heading that way in April this year and might just give it a try.

Very informative and your comments are spot on. One other item they should change is fire pit open until midnight. That will undoubtable cause a noise issue even when good people don't try to.

Always get value out of your vids another great KZread info channel good luck guys be safe be careful. Dan. SI New York

I always get value from your videos. ❤Both of you are amazing people and do excellent work on your videos and projects. You also seem to find good products that make RV life better ? Keep up the great work.😊

Adjacent to the truck stop. Who would have thunk! That site was the best kept secret! You guys have the best of times together☀️🥰🐕

Thanks for posting this. I've seen other automated examples but this one is pretty nice. We paid $44 last Thursday night at a 95 adjacent park on the way home from FL. It had to be noisier than your Loves location and old and muddy. I hope they put up more of these.

I think they included the activities so people could get some exercise after sitting in their vehicles traveling. The splash pad is great for young families stuck sitting for so long. Helps the kids get some energy out. Thanks for the video we haven’t seen one of these stops yet.

Looks nice, I didnt even know that was a thing. That's for the great info. PS....love your RV and truck!

Good to know! Thanks again for making us aware.

This was a great information video. Thank you ☺️ Great for overnight for the family. It's a lot cheaper than a hotel or unsafe truck rest stop.

Agree with your assessment! I've been saying this for years -- someone needs to create an RV park with all pull-throughs targeted at people needing a single overnight stay. I agree the amenities are not really needed (maybe the splash pad would be nice for kids to work off some restlessness after a long travel day). I think once it catches on the RVing public (and they adjust their prices) it will be a great thing and that park will be full.

I just wanna say, hol-ee moly, that is a ridiculous looking rig going down the road!! The red truck with the new Momentum is gorgeous!!

Your right on the fuel card. We full time RV and i do hotshot hauling. I have a few fuel card options. But my TSD card and TA's are my go to combo.

WOW! That Loves RvStop is huge! We checked out the new Loves RvStop in Loudon TN along I75, a lot smaller (45ft long, back in only) with 4 spots along the side of the auto gas pumps. The cost was less $40/night and great for a quick overnight on travel days. Thanks for sharing! See you on the road! Bonnie 🇨🇦

I think this concept will take off...Good informative vid...ty

That was great! I happened to notice that Loves built a new oasis by us in Morris, IL and it has RV hookups. It's a nice stay for a night and I agree that a few less amenities and a little lower price would be great. Thanks for sharing.

Chad & Tara this is a great looking RV parking and Bojangles has been in business over 25 years here in the South i am from North Carolina in my opinion it's a cool place to eat and may not be for everyone well your new RV looks amazing safe travels

Thanks guys great to know it’s available in certain areas.

Hey I'm into it,,, TRUCKSTOP PICKLEBALL!!!. Thats actually pretty cool setup, we will be watching for these.

Just watched the video and made reservations for our trip down to Florida in October. Yes it’s early, but we have a spot for the night. Great video y’all!!

Liked your t-shirt at the end of the video, I am a proud Navy veteran, too. I did 20 years, retired in 1999.

Thank you for sharing. We will definitely be using it.

Thanks for sharing this . We are looking to travel cross country and learning about all these stops helps. Thank you again Mike and Laurel "journey for 2"

I’m a truck driver and I didn’t even know that loves have those Rv parks. Pretty cool. Love your pickup by the way.

Agree with your pricing /amenties opinion. Nice park. Love our TSD card.

Came across your channel, subscribed and watched your video. Really enjoyed your video and what a cute dog you have!

Pickle ball? Fun!! Fully agree on the price vs time spent there.

The small camp like that in Minnesota has a laundry. Hope Tara is doing very well and you all stay safe and healthy.

Chad, years ago Pilot/Flying J signed a contract to partner with Good Sam Club and provide exclusive RV fuel discounts to Good Sam members. TSD is a trucking company who got discounts at Pilot based on the number of gallons their cards purchased each day/week/month. TSD started the RV program to increase their usage which increased their discount. As the RV program got more famous, Good Sam found out that RVers could get discounts at Pilot without a Good Sam membership contrary to what Good Sam had paid for in their contract with Pilot. Good Sam threatened to sue Pilot and Pilot kicked TSD off their discount program. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the Pilot/Good Sam contract comes up for renewal.

I miss the days when Flying J operated the restaurant independently. Now, most of the ones we stop at have been turned over to Denny’s. Nothing against Denny’s, but they are just your standard generic basic vanilla franchise. The food at the old Flying J restaurants was significantly better.

I think it's great, hopefully they build more going out west, I-40 after being a truck driver for 30 plus years, truck stops can be loud, but just remember, their bringing America much needed stuff and it's not a campground unless by the train tracks lol, thanks for sharing this, I think it's great.

Way cool!

Thank you for posting this video about the Love's RV parks! This could be a real travel game changer. On you comments about the price point, I noticed that the northeaster RV parks are cheaper (about $34, with less amenities). Again, thank you so much for what you do!

Way less amenities.

I also stayed at a Love's stop at Cordele, GA while traveling to Florida. It was actually great, clean and safe.

I heard Love’s was developing campgrounds along with new fuelling stations, but I hadn’t seen any until today. Your videos are always informative. This one is no exception. Thanks for showing us around a Love’s RV Park. I whole heartedly agree future Love’s RV Parks could cut back on amenities and offer a lower price per night. Eventually I think the market will drive them in that direction.

I'm loving your videos. We just bought a Heartland Big Country 5th wheel. We will soon be full time RVers also. We are learning alot from your videos!!!! P.S. It's great to know Loves have spots for RV's.

Loves step-in up their Game!! Thanks

Thanks for showing the RV park. I read about them and planned on doing a video. Yeah, I think Pilot/FJ was taking fees another giving discounts. I stopped using them when realized I was paying EFS to pump my own gas. Great video and safe travels!

Thanks for letting me know about that. I use loves all the time in my 18 Wheeler. If you go back make sure you get the love's points card it is a really good system. And make sure you fuel up at the diesel pumps cause that's the only way you can collect points.. And also when you purchase things inside of the loves.

If you’re ever in need of another overnight in this area of I75 in Georgia, check out Carroll’s sausage general store in Ashburn. Truly no frills, but gravel sites with water, power and sewer. No bathhouse or other amenities. It’s $40 per night and they give you a$10 voucher to use in the store. They have fresh meats, jams and jellies, cane syrup, seasonings and rubs, etc. No reservations, we’ve never seen more than 8-10 of their 20 or so sites taken. It can be loud since it is literally right off the interstate, but we’ve stopped there several times on the way to and from Florida.

Great stuff. My parents live in that town, and we have a night booked at that same Love's in a couple of weeks to stop in and see them on our way to Florida.

Thank you for the sleep sacrifice to show this.i love it.

We have reservations there in early May. Same spot. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Guys - thanks for sharing this. My husband and I have often wondered what the Love RV spots would be like.

I've been wondering about them since I'm hoping to make a trip from Wa to La in a few months time, so this was perfect timing!

Loves is definitely RV friendly. I look for Loves and T/A for using my Open Roads fuel card...always a better deal than Pilot/Flying J. The Loves RV park you just showed meets our requirements for an RV Resort! LOL!

I truly appreciate you guys! We spent the night in Tifton several times in the last few months at the KOA and may just do this next time we are on the way home from FL. Home for us is Dahlonega and Tifton is a good last stop for us. I took the kids to Key West for their winter break and, once again, you two helped educate me on Key West also. I know I have praised you on a few other videos, but truly, you have been my best 5th wheel resource for years! I know I am going to pass you on the road one day and I will hit you with the air/train horn. Can't miss you now with that Red truck. Keep up the good work you guys!

Great information, thankyou and safe travels

We just stayed at this same Love’s RV Stop Saturday March 4th. Price was very reasonable to us as we were returning home to Michigan & were already winterized. The the site was level and long enough that we didn’t have to disconnect our tow vehicle. Dog park was great for our 2 dogs. Restroom & showers were spacious and exceptionally clean. Other Love’s RV Stops hav fewer amenities and are less pricey.

Thanks for the info!

A RV stop with a pet wash? That is really cool! I'm sorry to say my camping adventures are over for the time being. Rising prices were getting out of hand. It was costing me more to camp a weekend than my monthly payment. I sold mine to a good friend that took it from Virginia to Washington State. They are getting more use of it which makes me glad but still miss it.

I just learned about these RV campgrounds at Love's. We are small trailer folks who prefer national forest campgrounds but when traveling, these might be a good alternative.

I love that Loves did this! I agree, less amenities for cheaper sites would be better for sure. Inexpensive overnights is what brings people in. Nobody wants to spend 50 bucks or more just to get some sleep somewhere.

We stayed at that Loves on our way back to FLA waiting for hurricane Ian to pass. We were satisfied with the campsite. We need more of these easy-in, easy-out campsites.

Niiiice review and totally agree on the take on the amenities. Just put the necessities in place and make 25-30 bucks a night. We FT and when traveling we’ll just do the Harvest Host or the Wallyworld overnight. Kinda sounds like they put ALL the amenities in there to make $$$ off the baseball field nearby, as you had a caption that it gets full. That would make sense of why all the bells and whistles. 👍😃🍻

Not what I expected from the forum posts that have popped up. Thanks for sharing.

Cool idea. This is new because the last time I was at the loves that was a empty field. 😎👍👍. I do all my fueling up at loves ❤️ because they have the best parking and rewards card and 99% of them are clean and friendly..

Fantastic, Been waiting to see one of these new RV facility at a LOVES. Thanks for showing , how’s the New Wagon Treating you ? Hopefully Nice. I do like the floor plan!! Safe travels!

Good to know! We pass through Cordelle VIA I-75 every time we head up to the Smokey’s!

That looks like an awesome overnight place to stop. We have paid more than that for an overnight stay, but I agree that less amenities and lower price wold be much nicer.

Did a loves rv in Mississippi last year, they was all back in but like what you had with hookups. . Dog walk and that was it.. good for overnight. No complaints.
