overnight on the go Southern Ga, Northern Florida

Planning a trip to Tampa, Fl the week of Thanksgiving. Plan on leaving Friday afternoon before Thanksgiving from Myrtle Beach, SC. Figure to drive no more than about 6 hours. Anyone know of locations in southern Ga, northern Florida along I 95 we could stop for the night. Read there is no overnighting at Ga or Fl. rest stops. Not ruling out Walmart, etc. but would like to stay as close to the highway that night as possible. Thanks for the info.

    X2 on Crooked River SP - very nice, right off I-95 in Georgia at the border.

    Not 6 hours (maybe 5) from myrtle beach down, but in Brunswick Georgia there is a flying j. There's also a nice park there if you want hook ups. They offer the good Sam discount.

    About 40-45 miles south of the Fla./Ga. border, in White Springs Florida is Lee's Country campground. They seem to "specialize" in overnights, and driving by , it looks O.K.

    It is only .8 mile off the interstate. There is gas and a McDonald's at the exit also. (We spend our winters at another campground in the same town.)
