Conveniently located along I-40 and HWY 25W, our Love's RV Hookup-Newport TN 796 provides the RV traveler with a safe, clean and well-maintained place to stop for the night as you travel across the country. Our reservation and check in process makes booking a site quick and convenient. Guests can make reservations, pay and check in or out on their own devices or at the designated Kiosk located on site, providing an automated and contactless experience that quickly gets you back on the road to your destination. With Wi-Fi and 30-Amp and 50-Amp service hookups at every site, we also offer more amenities than any other national travel stop network.
My low review review is due to 1) the fee was $38 for electricity & internet 2) we had to pay another $10 to use the RV dump 3) they had no potable water so we had to buy 3 gallon jugs of water in the convenience store at $3.39/gal. The overnight stay ended up costing us $55-60 for the night. A KOA or another campground would have been quieter & no more expensive.
Loud cars all night long getting gas nearby. I suppose that's to be expected, but it made for an unenjoybale sleep. Only electric and wifi for 40 bux seems a little expensive. Probably wouldn't stop again
Although the truck stop hookups are convenient and I wish more truck stops had them…the service at Love’s Hookup-Newport TN 796 are rude and unhelpful.
The setup only allows you to utilize only one outlet at a time, and we are having an electrical problem. So we asked if they could turn on the hookup next to us since we are the only ones in the parking lot and there are multiple spots open. When we asked, we could see the reservation book open on the screen and it was completely clear for the night. The manager said she would not turn on the power even for an hour so we could charge our phones unless we paid for a second spot. We promised to move our stuff if someone came and only use it for an hour. She said “yeah, no. I can’t be here all night to watch you. Have I nice day.”
We purchased food and gas on top of the rv costs. We were not going to pay for a second spot.
$40.36 for electricity & internet
$10 for dump
$3.99 propane
I am a very big fan of loves RV stops. This is a little different than a dedicated, loves RV stop which has a self-contained spot for all the RVs. In the situation, you are in one of four parking stalls in the actual gas station. Electric hook up was fine. No showers are included which is annoying particularly when they charge me $18 for a shower. Also, the spot was extremely noisy throughout the night so unless you are a very hard sleeper, you might find it challenging.
We stayed here one night passing through. All four sports were filled. We had to go inside to check in and activate the electric hook up as the kiosk wasn't working. We had an end spot so asked if we could keep our truck parked next to us and the manager didn't have a problem with that. The dog park is really nice if people would clean up after their dogs. We were already aware that you had to pay to dump so didn't utilize that, but no one could tell us where the potable water was which was a hassle as we needed some water. The real issue we had with staying here was the noise. People were fighting at the pumps, people were racing around with loud pipes and the kicker was a greyhound bus decided to stop right in front of the RV spots to take a break or pick up passengers, we weren't sure. If you want a decent night of sleep, look elsewhere as this was a miserable stop. This stopover should really be more like $25 per night instead of $40
