Love's RV Hookup is like the fast food of RV campgrounds. It doesn't replace the sit-down restaurant feel of a true RV campground, but you will get your fill as it covers every basic amenity needed for camping and is pretty much self-managed, i.e., you won't be escorted by an overweight lady driving a golf cart.
Every spot is concrete with plenty of room to maneuver around in and out of your spot. We have a 40-foot rig and were still able to park a Honda Pilot in front of ours. The Love's employees let us park our trailer in the employee parking area, i.e. the spots with "one-hour customer parking" signs. Both 50A and 30A electric is available at every spot which automatically turns on upon checking in through the confirmation email, and conversely shuts off at checkout time. Every site also has both water and sewer but bring a long sewage hose because the drain connection is about 10 feet behind the back of the pad. Ours required a 25 foot hose which barely made it. The Morris location has a nice fenced-in dog park with both a small and large dog area close to the camp sites. Showers are available inside for $16 and laundry is $3/$3 for wash/dry (three of each available). Being a typical Love's, they have propane refill available and 5-20% biodiesel blend as well.
The Morris location has a few watchouts to be aware of: The convenience store is pretty lame for being a truck stop. Expect the bare minimum gas station selection of products. The good news is that Walmart and Menards are only about 5 min away down US-6.
There is nothing to break up the wind on windy days, e.g., trees, buildings, etc. The wind was brutal the three days we stayed and our door flew open the first day and ripped the door strap in half and knocked my rear view mirror across the lot.
Propane refill is only available during the day because they don't have enough staff trained on filling. We ran out of propane at like 11p and had to drive about 30 min away to the next available Love's with someone trained to fill propane. This place is obviously brand spanking new so I'm hoping it is just because of that.
Expect truckers to park their rigs in the spots. We saw three commercial truck drivers park near us. Nothing against truck drivers, but commercial drivers are a very different demographic than RVers are accustomed to at a typical campsite.
It's noisy. I normally don't have an issue with noisy sites, but this place is pretty loud. For some reason, about once an hour a trucker would honk their horn while driving south from the interstate, and for no...
Read moreConcrete site was nice. Width of site was good but not long enough for bigger rigs. Truck couldn't fit. We parked sideways and still stuck out. The parking spots nearby are all taken by employees and truckers who leave vehicles there.. Sign says 1 hour customers only. Yes, it stated sites are 45 feet but we thought the parking was for the rvers. So don't think like we did that you'll have a place to park. Sewer hose would need to be about 25 feet. We opted to skip that hookup for the night. All utilities are in the grassy area behind the concrete. Semis parked up the entry/exit road....right in front of the "Danger Do Not Park Here" signs. So you hear them all night when trying to relax and watch TV. All in all good for a one night stop...
Read moreWe stayed at the Morris Love's RV Stop while we did a "shake-down" on a new fifth wheel. We originally planned to stay for a week and ended up booking an additional four nights! The location is great. The store is convenient with clean restrooms. The best spot to reserve, in our opinion is spot number 1. With this spot you will have a grassy area on your camp side. The next best spot would be number six. All spots are fine, but there would be a lot of traffic on spots 7-10. We didn't really hear much truck traffic overnight, but more regular fuel customers who have loud cars and a heavy foot on the gas pedal. We would highly recommend visiting the "Honest Abe" restaurant in Morris. Great food and...
