Roanoke Travel Center

Has anyone ever spent the night there?
Just womdering how it is for RV's
Thanks for any help
  • It is just a place to park and you need to get in there early like 4 or 5 pm because it will fill up with semis fast in the pm...Both the Flying J's south of Roanoke in Wytheville have a lot more parking even if you can't get in their limited RV parking area you can find a place for the night.

    About 75 miles further south, there's a Flying J at exit 77 off I-81/77. There are always RV's overnighting there in the 4 or 5 RV spots or the restaurant parking lot (Denny's). It's pretty quiet most nights, tho' I did see a deputy make a no-drama arrest there this past Sunday evening when I stayed there. That's the one 'event in the 12-15 nights I've stayed there. They even turned off the shower announcement PA on that side of the building.

    Don't confuse this with the FJ a few miles to the north, which had no RV parking the one time I pulled in there a few years back.

    Hi Jim there is also a no frills campground (Can't think of the name) also behind the northern Flying J within 1/2 Mile or so on Rt 52 south

  • Camping World is the next exit south.

    Roanoke Travel Center rather small & lots of big rigs, live near the area, never really saw too many RVs there. There is a small Cracker Barrel at that exit also, don't know if that one allow overnight stays.
  • I stay at CW when going through Roanoke. They have water, free dump and go price on LP on certain days. I have also been offered electric on occasion.
