World’s Largest, July 18, 2024

We’re a little weird!  When we drove by the World’s Largest Truck Stop we knew we wanted to come back to it.  We choose the Hidden River Campground cause it close by.

Here we are!“It’s the Iowa 80 Truckstop, which, according to every sign and souvenir on its perimeter, is the largest truck stop in the world. Part trucker base camp, part wacky tourist attraction, Iowa 80 is so much more than a place to get gas. It’s a 24-hour megacomplex that opened in 1964 and hasn’t closed its doors since. There are 900 truck parking spaces available. The store carries over 62,000 items, and they currently serve an average of 5,000 customers per day.”

We start our day with a delicious skillet breakfast.

Time to explore the 130,000 sq ft building.

  1. Dang, that place is big!
    I love the old jeep. There’s a piece 5 minutes from us that refurbishes army vehicles for movies.
    Cheers, Les
