Florida I-95 rest areas question

On Google earth,it appears that some of the I95 rest areas in Florida have the parking for the big semi trucks separated from the parking for campers. If this is so, it looks like these would be good for getting a few hours sleep while traveling. Can anyone verify this? Thanks.

  • The walmart in titusville still allows camping (as of Jan 2014).

    The southbound 95 exit after st. augustine has a separate rv area as per my notes.

    Last year we decided to not bet that titusville walmart would allow overnighting (why didn't we call?) so we decided to stay at the rest area just before Titusville heading south. We went to the way back where a sign said something to the effect of "trucks allowed". The sun was setting and we were the only ones in the back..hung out for a short time and hit the bed early.

    Woke up to the sound of trucks (LOTS OF TRUCKS ENGINES RUNNING). We deliberately selected a spot with only parking on one side. WELL, that didn't matter a nick because we were surrounded (closely I might add)...clearly they were pissed that
    we were taking up a spot. WE had to wait a brief bit to get out.... Won't do that again
    unless we do separate rv area.

    We needed to Titusville Walmart where we found about 6 rv of varying sizes overnighting...
  • The 1st Rest Area/Welcome Center in Florida on I-95 has free orange juice! Worth a stop just for that. Lots of parking, too, although I don't recall how it is separated - with a Class B, I usually just stick with the cars.

    Only nighttime security now.
  • Most places the trucks and campers are together , not separated . Do not let your children run around barefoot in rest areas !! I even carry my dog !
