Love’s RV Hookup – a Review

We stopped in the Love’s RV Hookup in Morris, IL today. Interesting.

The view out our front window

When I think of Love’s, I think of truckers coming in for a diesel refill. I don’t think of a RVer camping spot. However, my overall first impression is positive. The RV Hookups concept seems like a good idea for short term (1 day) RV stopovers, but it is definitely not a destination.

Our site came with a lawn. Flirt loved it.

The Positive: a full-hookup (50A) camping site with WiFi and a nearby gas station. In addition, there’s a Love’s store and one or two restaurants. In our case it was a Hardee’s and a nap nap Middle Eastern grill. (We chose the latter.) Plus, there was a laundry, propane refills, and a small dog park.

$3 to wash, $3 to dry

The Negatives: it’s loud. Vehicles, particularly trucks, are coming and going at all hours. And the noise is not hundreds of feet away – it’s under 100 feet from your site. Plus, the WiFi was disappointing. The free WiFi was not worth using, and I was unable to connect to the Premium WiFi ($5.99 for 24 hours) I signed up for despite several attempts and a call to tech support. Overall, this pointed to a “disconnect” between the RV sites and Love’s itself. For example, the Love’s staff really were fairly clueless about the RV park on their property. Their standard reply to any RV question was “Check out the app”. I did. Not really helpful for my questions.

Conclusion: Would I stay here again? Sure, if there weren’t any other campgrounds around.
