Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Gloucester Township at 173 S Black Horse Pike in Blackwood, New Jersey, this Truck Parking Club member facility provides a secure, practical open-air surface parking solution engineered specifically for commercial transport, fleet management, and large vehicle staging. Formerly serving commercial automotive and logistics operations, the property features a wide, level paved and hardpacked surface lot designed to accommodate large vehicles effortlessly. Because the entire parking area is open-sky, there are zero vertical height clearance restrictions, making it an ideal staging ground not only for standard passenger cars, full-size pickup trucks, and utility vans, but also for commercial motor vehicles, class 8 semi-trucks with 53-foot trailers, bobtails, flatbeds, box trucks, hotshot rigs, and motorhomes.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility boasts an enviable position along the bustling Black Horse Pike (Route 168) commercial corridor in South Jersey, placing drivers within minutes of prime retail, entertainment, and logistics hubs. Just 2.5 miles northwest sits the Gloucester Premium Outlets, offering dozens of brand-name stores, casual dining, and traveler services. Camden County College’s expansive Blackwood Campus is less than a five-minute drive away. Regional shopping and dining destinations, including Deptford Mall, along with local culinary favorites like the Palace Diner, Skeeters Pub, and nearby convenience stops like Wawa, are all easily accessible within a 1-to-5-mile radius. Furthermore, for cross-river commuters or drivers needing access to the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area, the South Philadelphia Sports Complex (home to Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and Wells Fargo Center) is located approximately 14 miles northwest straight up Route 42 and across the Walt Whitman Bridge.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing the lot is smooth and direct via South Black Horse Pike (NJ-168). The property features wide curb aprons and generous turning radiuses, allowing heavy-duty commercial vehicles and extended trailers to enter and exit without sharp maneuvers or blocking multi-lane traffic. Drivers benefit from immediate connectivity to New Jersey Route 42 (North-South Freeway), which sits less than one mile away and serves as the primary expressway connecting to the Atlantic City Expressway to the south, Interstate 295, and Interstate 76 heading into Center City Philadelphia. For regional public transportation, NJ Transit operates several local bus routes along Black Horse Pike (such as routes 400 and 403), offering dependable connections to Lindenwold PATCO Speedline station and downtown Camden.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Commercial drivers and travelers are strongly encouraged to reserve their parking spaces in advance via the Truck Parking Club app or website, as truck parking spaces in the South Jersey and Greater Philadelphia corridors experience high demand during weekday evenings. When navigating to the property using GPS, ensure your system is set to truck routing parameters to avoid low-clearance residential side streets off Black Horse Pike. When pulling onto the property, follow any posted signage or digital check-in guidelines provided in your booking confirmation to ensure an assigned bay or correct orientation, leaving ample room for neighboring rigs to maneuver safely during overnight arrivals.
