Facility Overview
Situated at 3351 Old Hwy 62 in Mount Vernon, Indiana, this dedicated commercial and recreational vehicle parking facility operates in partnership with Mt. Vernon Store & Park and Truck Parking Club. Designed primarily as an expansive, heavy-duty gravel surface lot, the site offers generous turning radiuses and broad staging areas tailored specifically for commercial transport. Because this is a wide-open, outdoor surface compound, there are absolutely no vertical clearance limits or low-overhang barriers. It seamlessly accommodates 53-foot tractor-trailers, bobtails, flatbeds, heavy machinery, high-roof cargo vans, box trucks, RVs, motorhomes, and passenger vehicles alike.
