My late husband always preferred a RV site with a motel.. said in case of bad weather we had a place to go to. I did find 3 in all our travels. One in Canton, TX, one in NY and one in Kingsland, GA KiKi RV Park. All 3 had full hookups. Maybe Google Motels w/RV Parks... might get some in your area.
The above posted list is very good. Thanks. - riahExplorerThank you!

Shelby RV Park is a small park located behind the Comfort Inn in Shelby, MT. You register at the Comfort Inn desk and can use all of the motels facilities. It has full hookups and has absolutely the nicest and cleanest bathhouse I've ever seen at any RV park. - riahExplorerThanks, for the info! (but with my luck we’d get cited or worse if we ever ttried to use them. But I have always wondered about if those were live when I’ve seen those on occasion! )
bases of the lot lights often have outlets. Just be darn sure to check the voltage before plugging in.
- riahExplorerThank you! (Electric is really all we need so we can use electric blanket or portable electric heater.)

Electric only as I remember but sure was handy. - ferndaleflyerExplorer IIII used to stay in my, at the time, class C at the 7 Springs skiing area near Pittsburg, Pa.

The closest I've seen is motels in areas around large fishing tournament lakes have a electric hook-ups for folks in the tournaments to charge their boat trolling motor batteries.
Yep we have also, they also use them to run the bait well pumps.
Another place is big box store lots as long as they don't have no overnight parking signs. The bases of the lot lights often have outlets.

The above posted list is very good. Thanks. - dedmistonModeratorWe've crashed overnight at some of the casinos in Mesquite, NV on our way coming or going. Dry camping only. It's not really free if you're ethical enough to go inside and blow a few bucks in their low-quality restaurants or play the slots or tables. It's convenient though, and you don't need a reservation.
- riahExplorerThank you! Appreciate the information! :)

We like to travel US highways rather than interstates. As I plan a trip, I use RV Trip Wizard, Allstays and RV Parky to identify potential stops.
Seems like almost every state, particularly west of the Mississippi has a handful of non-chain small motels with some RV spots. Usually in out of the way places, like the one in Marathon, TX mentioned above. It is the only place to stop between Alpine and Sanderson on US-90.
If you are going to Big Bend NP, it is the only place to stop and be ready to enter the park early in the day from the north.
I haven't stayed at these, but they looked good while driving by:
Turner Inn and RV Park, US-60, Mountainair, NM
Red Roof Inn and RV Park, US-287, Childress, TX
Glenn and Mrya's Lodge and RV Park, US-82, Seymour, TX
Fort Davis Motor Inn, TX-17, Fort Davis, TX
We have stayed at Historic Prude Ranch just west of Fort Davis, TX - this is a 'dude' ranch type place, but mainly guest cabins. They have a couple dozen RV pedestals in a field. Full hook ups. A few of which are 50 amp.
Frankly I don't recommend it. The pedestals are 13 feet apart, not prep for the RV parking, and poor connections for sewer. I had to think what it would smell like in the summer with several risk in the RV area. But it was $22.50 per night, no taxes for 2 nights with Passport America. Were there in Sept 2020. As a place for a non-RV reunion or gathering - I would recommend it. RV - no.
