Great place for overnight dry camping

[leslie]

Travel plaza on I-64 near Beckley, West Virginia. The exit is East of the Rt. 19 exit. There is a Tamarack craft center with a designated lot for RVs, so you don't have to be among the noisy trucks. Your first stay there, you might want to ask the fuel attendant for directions to the lot for RVs.

We enjoy staying there. It is amazingly quiet. We go down a flight of stairs to get to the building with the food court. We can chill with a Starbucks latte, or get some pasta from Sbarro... There are other options there, but this is what we do.

There is plenty of grass and trees for walking dogs. You can even put some chairs out in the evening and enjoy the fresh air. Oh, did I mention that security patrols during the night? And, of course, there is no charge to camp overnight!

Just come back to this board! BTW, there are several Travel Plazas in West Virginia, on I-77, that also permit RVs to park overnight for free. The free parking seems to be connected to Tamarack craft centers.

I was using www.rvparky.com to find a place to spend the night near Beckley. Other travel plazas showed up, but not this one. We thought what the heck, and decided to ask the fuel attendant, and BAM! We had a very pleasant overnight.

One other nice thing about RVing in West Virginia, all the travel plazas along interstates have RV dump stations for free.

This is good to know.
