Loves - Gas Station | Informal Campsite

February 22nd, 2024 by mjj

The bird noises playing from the speakers made me feel like I was going crazy. They stopped from ~6 pm to 7am. Sound like a bird in distress, don’t even sound like birds that are supposed to be in the area. I thought they were real until they kept repeating, I couldn’t find any birds, and I looked at other check-ins. Very off putting. Did fine overnighting, lots of room on a February Wednesday, quiet. Due to car doors, engines & drive thru ordering noise I’m glad I had ear plugs. Avoided the weather here while also waiting for a next morning mechanic appt. Parked next to cars, vans, probably campers too. 3 to full ATT bars, the WiFi doesn’t cover the entire parking lot, maybe just the spots in front of the store and requires a free account. Convenient bathrooms, fast food, propane, the works

even though there are signs everywhere saying 1 hour parking only, I noticed plenty of vanlifers parked in the parking lot...just not in spots with those signs. I pulled up next to one and had a good night. even slept in til 9:45 and then went in for coffee and a shower, it was 25 degrees and I have no heat in my rig, so I wasn't in a hurry to crawl out from under those blankets :)

There are signs up that say one hour only parking. A little sketch, but we stayed anyway. there were a few more of us in the morning, but we were gone before dawn.

Tons of people/campers here. I slept in the back behind the Carl’s Jr to try and keep the road noise down as the previous person said.

As described by most others. Stayed here for 1 night before Grand Canyon and the 1 night after. A little less than an hour away.

I parked in the back area behind Carls Jr. Several others overnighted here. Nobody bothered. Pretty busy place so should be safe, but also some people continue playing loud music when they arrived around 2am

T-Mobile 2 bars and pretty good

Large sleeping lot with many cars, vans, and a couple RVs. Only a handful of spaces left by the time I arrived around 11pm. Really quiet thru the night but livens up at 530am as people leave. Some tilt to the spot but easy enough to sleep through.

Definitely bring earplugs or just be a deep sleeper like me. Not the most level spots.

Stayed on the lower level, for cars. (small camper van.) A number of overnight cars, vans, and a couple of RVs. Carl Jr's and Subway in the Loves. Not too noisy from the upper truck area, but helped by sleeping with a noise maker app

Still open to overnighters. There were about 6 RVs, Vans, and car sleepers in this far from level lot. It was pretty quiet through the night, but the car doors became annoying pretty early. I didn’t hear the bird nosies until I went inside and It’s not too loud so if you put on a fan like I did you should be just fine. $13 for showers and they were just LOVEly. Endless hot water and no time limit. It’s also a straight shot to the Grand Canyon in just over an hour.

Quiet gas station - earplugs are a plus. Super clean restrooms.
Perfect on the way to Grand Canyon National Park

Very friendly place, clean bathrooms. Only ‘problem’ was they had fake bird noises blasting from the speakers all night long. Other than that, plenty of parking, several RVs and vans parked for the night.

It's a big Gas Station. I see cars, vans and small trucks with people overnighting, not RVs, med/big trucks. It's have a Carl's Jr. and Subway fast food restaurant, and a general store with food, electronics and parts. Free bathrooms. Shower for USD 12. Sells Conpressed Natural Gas and Propane Gas. Wifi is not free, you must pay. I overnight twice, everything ok.
