I-40 Between Barstow and Needles, CA
I need a place to park for the night between Barstow & Needles, say near Ludlow or Essex. Barstow is too short of a day and Needles too long. I'm driving a 40 ft. MH w/toad. Any suggestions?

Many of those rest areas have crime problems so no over night. JMHO. Needles not the greatest area. My parents lived north of Needles, AZ side, for years. Where are you coming from and where are you going? I'm retired leo from so CA. They have a fairly nice rv park near the golf course in Needles that isn't too bad. I have stayed there and not bad. I wouldn't stop between unless just for a short rest. Some of those rest areas were actually closed because too much crime. Several years ago they had ham operator volunteers in rest areas reporting suspicious activities. Where the 40 & 15 separate there is a huge mcDonalds. Stay there, then drive to Blake Ranch RV Park about 10 miles east of Kingman. Or if going north stay in Bullhead City.
