I77 South

Will be traveling I77 south from Cleveland Ohio to Wytheville Virginia.

looking for a place to stop for the night around Beckley or before. Any ideas?

be traveling in Class with a tow. 

does anyone know if Tamarck near Beckley is open and can you spend the night in Rest Area.

 

thanks in advance Dan

  • Thanks Dale.

    I did contact Tamarck and the Truck stop is open and they do allow overnight RV parking in the lower lot.

    That will be backup plan if we run out of daylight and can not make it to Wytheville.

    i called the Tamarack a few weeks ago and all I got was they were closed and under construction. I was going to call them again after the first.

    We usually do make it through WV and stay in Wytheville. This is our first trip South in Motorhome and I cannot travel at speeds I did with truck and fifth wheel. So I don’t know if I can make it that far before dark as it gets dark pretty early in January. Without having to get on the road early.

    happy New Year and safe travels.

      Well the truck stop was what was under construction. You could get to the Artisan Center.

  • I don't know if the truck stop at Tamarack is still under construction. It was all torn up  in 2023. I do believe they allowed RV's and trucks to spend the night though. If you go up to the Artisan's center, they have a parking lot with RV spaces marked. I never have, but I'm guessing you could spend the night there. It would be easy enough to ask. Much quieter up there. I often stop for a lunch break there and walk the dog. I just did an online check and it is set for the grand opening tomorrow, December 30, but is already open. The article said there were lines at all the food kiosks. Terry always joked that there wasn't a piece of ground in West Virginia long enough and flat enough to park a Class A. We always started out the day entering West Virginia and ended the day exiting WV. LOL We sometimes stayed at Camp Creek State Park, Bluefield, WV, south of Beckley. It is a small state park, but can accommodate big rigs and has a couple FHU sites. Two waterfalls within walking distance from the camp within the park. Very cool. Enjoy your travels, Dan and Patty. Travel safely!
