Is it allowed to spend the night at a rest area? Hope this isn't a dumb question to ask.

Which rest area and located in which state. Roadside rest areas are controlled by the state government i which they are located. I don't know of ANY state that has the SAME rules for all of there rest areas. MOST of the ones that do not allow overnighting will be signed informing users of this fact. With MANY of them it's fairly obvious just by looking around the area. MOST Kansas Rest areas, for example, have a huge circle at one end JUST for the purpose of overnight visitors and these areas are equipped with fresh water fill stations and dump stations at no charge. Many also have free WIFI available. They are MUCH nicer than staying in ANY retail parking lot though a little short of most campgrounds.
