Interstate rest area stops

Is it legal to camp overnight at a rest area connected to an interstate? Most likely in Kentucky along I 75.

    I swear I'm not being sarcastic.

    This definitely is not camping. It's "resting" in more comfort than the cars.

  • You're resting. Don't put your slides out, don't run a generator. Put jacks down if you want to take some weight off the truck, just don't forget to retract them in the morning. FWIW, I've never been able to rest more than about 6 hrs in a rest area.

    Not CAMP but rest for 8 to 10 hours OK. However we like Walmart or some of the other free camping because they have less noise. Check out Free Camping


    So, if I park for 8-10 hours, and leave the trailer hooked up to the truck, and am in the trailer, is that considered camping?
