Thank you all for your great suggestions.
We stayed at the NC welcome center and the Rest stop south of Jacksonville FL.
The NC welcome center has some RV and Truck parking. I didn't like the setup too much though. If you look at a satellite view of the NC Welcome center the RV parking is along the curb and the truck parking is to the right. When the truck pull out they drive right past the RVs. If I was looking to stop at about the same spot again I would go for RV Resorts at Carolina Crossroads or Roanoke Rapids Walmart.
We stayed here. I liked that setup. A decent number of RV slots. It's still close to the trucks so you can hear them, but it's nice to know you're not taking a spot from someone making a living. If you sleep in the rear of your RV the trucks leaving is not too bad. The RV section is the right most area of the rear parking lot when looking at a satellite view.
Thanks, I never assumed that some places will have some means for campers to have a full stay without actually ever seeing any staff. I'll have to call them to see how they deal with this. This looks like a great option (we missed it this pass, but may have another opportunity soon).
I hadn't consider this. We'll start to add a list of RV friendly hotels to our list of places.

Carolina Crossroads in NC - just south of the VA border - has sites set aside for late arrivers.
