When heading out to a destination I prefer Not to spend the nights at a campground. They don’t like late arrivals or early departures, now days reservations usually need made in advance and sometimes there is no campgrounds in the general area when you decide to end the day. We don’t like to be committed to any schedule or destination on a daily basis. There is traffic delays, weather delays and occasionally mechanical delays during a day’s travel and we like to stop or start on a moment’s notice.

Having said that, where are some of the non campgrounds you stay at when in route to a destination.

Walmarts are getting scary and Cracker Barrel’s are limited spaces and tight spaces, we try to stay away from truck stops, I feel those spaces should be left open for the truckers. They need to know there is a spot open for them when their work day comes to an end.
We have used Harvest Host but most of their locations are quite a ways off the main roads and usually not the direction your heading.
