Overnight parking in Cranberry PA
Heading down the PA Turnpike in June to DC from MI. Looking to stop over for the night about half way. That would be around Cranberry Township. I looked for campgrounds along the way but nothing looke...

Here's another thought/strategy to consider.
Do a google maps (or whatever your favorite mapping ap is) route from your origin to your destination. Note the miles. Then do it from origin to a nearby park midway (try Raccoon Park in Beaver County in this case) to your destination. Now note the miles. Often the additional # of miles is not very significant, since the app takes you the shortest route to the park and then back on course afterward.
I use this method when I'm trying to decide if a Harvest Host location is close enough to our chosen route to consider using it for an overnight.
