Behind a Love's truck stop in Alpaugh, this dispersed camping area occupies a dirt lot and roadside spaces where overnight travelers park alongside big rigs. Recent storms left the main lot rough and uneven, leading many campers to use the flatter street areas instead. The site sits next to Interstate 5 with truck traffic and idling engines creating consistent noise throughout the night.
Love's provides fuel, food, and shower facilities for campers who need to resupply. The open field adjacent to the parking area accommodates smaller RVs, while larger rigs typically position along the loop road. Cell service remains available, and the location works well as a free overnight stop for travelers heading north or south on I-5, though campers should expect an active truck stop environment rather than a remote camping experience.
