need overnight stop I 85 NOrth Carolina So. Virginia

DH and I going from Cheraw, SC up to York Pa and need an overnight stop (free if possible) along I 85 in northern NC/Southern Va. Any suggestions? 35'MH with toad. No hookups needed. Found 2 WalMarts in Oxford and Henderson, NC. Do they allow overnight parking? Thanks.
  • South Hill Va, exit 12 has a helmart with a huge area to the left side, RV's are frequently there, and there is a Cracker Barrel also. Cracker Barrel is a left turn after taking 12 B exit. The Big W is a left after 12A.
    You also have the Virginia welcome center at the state line and I have seen folks overnighting at the two rest areas before you get to Petersburg. Mile post 33 and 56.

    the walmart in Oxford would be easier than the one in Henderson but call them about parking overnight. and if you stop at the one in south hill be sure to obey the speed limit.

    There is also a love's travel stop.


    that would be easy at exit 15 but you'd probably have to stop around back with the semis. I've never been on that side of the building myself. just googled it, doesn't look very promising, lots of rigs just lined up in a row.

  • Henderson WM is one of those deals where you can see it from I85 but is a you know what to get to.

    and the entrance back to I-85 NB has been modified due to construction and I would guess that a GPS would misdirect you .
    do yourself a favor and exit 11 miles earlier at exit 202 (confirm right number) to the one in Oxford or 22 miles further to exit 12 in va.
    there are lots of overnighters in the WM in South Hill so I am sure they will give permission.
