A lot of time we spend an overnight in a seasonal park going to and from a destination. We pay for things we normally don't need, but it's the best solution (other than a Walmart) in the area.
I stayed 2 nights at Carolina Crossroads in Roanoke NC and watched the comings and goings. This place is primarily an overnight stop for snowbirders escaping in cold weather. It's just enough south to let you de-winterize. They had a row right by the entrance that was electricity and water and late arrivals. Every night the row filled up and by 10 am the next day it was empty.
They had a pool, a jacuzzi and a pool table in a open-air building but for the most part it was people just coming and going. There is a Walmart 1 exit north off I-95 that allowed overnight parking, but Crossroads' overnight spots were always full.
If the BIL's land is far enough south, there is a market. It would be better if it was on a popular N-S interstate just below the freeze line.
