Not exactly the answer I was looking for. Both of the local Costco’s I would use in my area would come up on that map if I was looking in this area but one would be impossible to get into and out of with my rig, and the other would be VERY difficult and not worth it. I know how to use google but looking for some personal experience info from some people who hopefully have made the stop.

Satellite mode should give a clear view of the entrance exit and layout.

Also try Bing maps, sometimes they have a clearer or better zoom image.

There is a Costco (with gas) and Wally World across the street right at I-79 & SR228 (not quite halfway between Zelionople and Pittsburgh. It’s here.

It’s very close to, and easy to get in & out of, I’ve stayed there a few times when I got behind schedule for one reason or another.

Based on where I am and where you are I’m guessing it’s about 4 hours drive time from you.

This is what I was starting to do and have done in the past. Just thought I would reach out and see if there were any known stops out there. It’s the route I will go ahead if no good leads here.

Thank you. That is exactly the type of info I was hoping for. I would really like to get further than this Friday and stop Saturday sometime but I have added that to my GPS in case I need it and for future trips.

If you are only going for Spring Break, are you really sure you want to "do" Costco? Do you have enough storage when you need to buy 3 bottles of ketchup, 12 boxes of tissue, 50 rolls of T.P. - you get the idea. I would go to W.M. - but then I am not a true Costco fan. I renew my membership for the sake of buying deli chickens and cheap gas where available.

Good for you for being able to escape this snowy winter - your area has been hit hard.

We are from Hamilton Ont.

Just between Erie & Pittsburgh there is a flying J service center at Portersville PA newcastle rd exit I79 exit 99 big lot out back

Second night was flying J 2435 Mt Holly Rd, Rock Hill, SC 29730, USA on I77 big great and clean plaza

Third night was St Pete Florida

Enjoy your trip

We will be gone a total of 10 days and I have three young sons. At the rate they go through food Costco is the perfect stop for us. It is also a place that I stock up on some items to bring back home. Storage is not an issue for us.

Thanks for the info. I will be booking some pull throughs for our nights to get there and home. My wife is not fond of over-nighting in lots with the kids. I will check these out as stops on the way though .... with the young kids we stop often to keep everyone sane.
