About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated along the busy Northland Drive commercial corridor in Kent County, Truck Parking Club at 15846 Northland Dr NE in Cedar Springs, Michigan, provides a purpose-built, secure open-air surface parking facility designed specifically for heavy-duty freight vehicles, commercial fleets, and large recreation haulers. Unlike constrained urban parking garages, this facility features a wide, expansive gravel-and-asphalt yard layout with virtually no overhead clearance restrictions. Semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, bobtails, 53-foot dry vans, flatbeds, refrigerated units (reefers), box trucks, and large motorhomes can enter, maneuver, turn, and park with complete peace of mind.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically positioned just off the major US-131 freight arterial north of Grand Rapids, this parking hub serves as an optimal rest and staging post for over-the-road (OTR) drivers and regional distributors. Local points of interest and amenities within a short drive include:
