Overnight parking in Kentucky on I75

We are.going from Michigan to Georgia next week. I will be leaving after work on Thursday and would like to park somewhere just south of Cincinnati. I do not see any Walmart’s listed that allow overnight parking. Does anyone know of any other places? Thanks

There’s a Costco in Florence, KY right off 75, that may do overnight parking. If not down towards Sparta there’s a few campgrounds not far from 75..

Thanks I never thought of Costco. I usually stop there for gas.

It looks like there is a Cracker Barrel at Florence as well. You might call them and ask to park overnight.

If it’s the one right off 75, it’s a PITA to get into. There’s a Lowe’s and Home Depot off the same exit though.

If you take the Florence, KY Turfway exit off I-75/71 and go straight 1/2 block you will drive by Sams Club on the left and another large parking area to the right where I'm sure you could park for a quick overnight.

Personally I would opt for another 20-25 minutes down the road at Dry Ridge exit and overnight in the huge parking lot of the VF outlet stores... and there is also a Cracker Barrel there too. MUCH quieter country atmosphere as opposed to 24 hour traffic and under the airport planes in Florence area.

Or, not as far, just after the I-71 split off to Louisville the I-75 Walton exit has a Flying J/Pilot fuel stop that I have parked overnight before in the restaurant parking lot.

Hope this helps

This might be a little farther south than you want....exit 49 off 75.

We spent the night at Spur Oil rv park in the Daniel Boone national forest. Full hookups. Pull through or back ins. Well lit and my nearest 'neighbor' was about 10 spots away.

We unloaded the motorcycles and explored some of the great roads in the area. Restocked at Walmart just south of there.

Worth the 21 or 25 bucks (I can't remember exactly).

Thanks all. I called the flying J and I think that will be a good spot. We will be arriving around mid night so it will just be for a quick 5-6 hours and back on the road.

If you can make Berea in the middle of KY there is a Walmart right at the exit. They post only Walmart trucks for overnight parking, but will allow motorhomes if you ask for permission.
We just stayed there two weeks ago and it was nice and quiet.

Try the Kentucky Horse Park.

It is just north of Lexington, KY. Beautiful place.
