Kittery Trading Post

This spot was perfect! I called to check with the manager to ensure I could sleep here and he said because I was arriving after closing no need to fill anything out. Location is right off the main road. I ended up arriving pretty late and only saw two RVs in the lot. The next morning I realized there was a whole other side of the lot with maybe 15 cars and RVs parked. You never would’ve known as it was very quiet throughout the night. They turn off most of the lights in the parking lot but there are a few left on so you can choose a well-lit spot if you prefer or a darker spot if you choose the busier lot. I ended up staying a second night on my way home and had another great experience. There were some noisy kids playing around until about 10pm but then they left and things settled down. Great stay!

We pulled in around 1am. There were several RVs, Trailers and "parkers" of all sorts. I had called ahead earlier in the day knowing we would get in late. The staffer I spoke with said to come ahead and just pull in. No need for a pass!

We spent a very rest full night and in the morning realized we had parked next to folks that had been at a rally with us a week prior!

The trading post made money on us as we found several good deals inside and took full advantage!

Pulled into Kittery Trading post and went in to ask where to park and pick up some things. Staff was very nice and apologized but said they were not allowing overnight RV parking during COVID so be aware of this. Of note we got dinner across the street before leaving and another RV had pulled into the lot and parked in the back after store hours. Having asked and been told no we chose to leave but probably could have stayed.

There are 2 RV spots in the back of the parking lot. I disconnected my truck from my 5th wheel and parked parallel to my hitch with plenty of room. We parked an hour before closing and walked around the store. Stayed overnight with no issues. Parking lot lights turn off after a certain time, which is nice. Hitched up and left at about 9am. Employees started arriving at 7am, but no one bothered us.

Drove in, parked next to a giant camper and a couple 'stealth' vans. Camper generator humming away. I went into store looked around.

At about 11:15 the lights in the parking went off. I thought I heard some people talking across the parking lot, a couple munites late a flashlight was shining into my passenger seat and I could see a shadowy figure walking around my van. I think they were looking at my license plate, then I saw the figure walk away quickly and vanish into the night. This person came from the far end of the parking lot and from the giant RV direction.

I waited and contemplated leaving, after an hour I realized no one was coming back. Slept like a rock all night.

I suspect it was the security guard I saw earlier checking things out.

After this experience, next time, I will check in with the store.
Tonight, driving past on the highway, I observed different RVs in the lot spending the night.
