Facility Overview
Situated in Gibson County at 901 E 1250 S in Haubstadt, Indiana, Love\'s Travel Stop #414 serves as a comprehensive 24/7 travel plaza and open-air parking facility positioned strategically along the Interstate 64 corridor. Designed as an expansive, paved surface lot, the grounds are built to handle a versatile array of vehicles ranging from standard passenger cars, sedans, and pickup trucks to high-roof camper vans, motorhomes, and commercial tractor-trailers. With an open layout devoid of vertical clearance barriers or low-hanging garages across the main staging areas, high-profile commercial rigs, RVs, and towed trailers enjoy generous overhead clearance and wide turning radii.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Conveniently situated at the pivotal junction of Interstate 64 and US Route 41, this travel center is a crucial staging ground for both interstate transit and regional travel throughout Southwestern Indiana. Racing enthusiasts are located just 3 miles northwest (approx. 5 minutes) from the famous Tri-State Speedway, a major regional dirt-track racing venue. Corporate visitors and logistics personnel will appreciate the 12-mile straight drive north along US-41 to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana (TMMI) in Princeton. In addition, downtown Evansville—housing the Ford Center arena, Bally\'s Evansville Casino, Old National Events Plaza, and the University of Evansville—is located approximately 15 miles south (a direct 20-minute drive).
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Navigation to the site is straightforward via I-64 at Exit 25B. Wide curb cuts and smooth two-way ingress and egress aprons off East 1250 South ensure fluid traffic flow without tight turns or bottlenecks, even when sharing the driveway with heavy transport trucks. Immediate access to US Highway 41 provides a direct north-south artery connecting Henderson, KY, through Evansville and onward toward Vincennes. Although municipal public transit buses do not serve this regional highway corridor, regional rideshare options (Uber and Lyft) operate from the greater Evansville area, and Evansville Regional Airport (EVV) sits just 14 miles directly south along US-41.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Commercial truck parking stalls generally fill to capacity on weekday evenings between 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM; use the Love\'s Connect app to view live space availability before pulling off the interstate. Passenger cars and RVers should park in designated front and side bays rather than the rear commercial truck grid to allow working haulers sufficient maneuverability. When approaching from I-64 Exit 25B, keep right along East 1250 South and yield carefully to outbound commercial tractor-trailers executing wide right-hand turns.
