Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, book your spot in advance through the Truck Parking Club mobile app or website prior to reaching the facility, as space availability can become limited during peak evening hours when regional rest stops reach capacity. When approaching the site on MD-213, reduce speed early and signal ahead to safely navigate turning maneuvers into the main apron. Confirm your reservation code or digital gate instructions on your mobile device beforehand, and adhere to lot signage regarding pull-through and back-in configurations to keep center driveways completely unobstructed for fellow drivers.
