stopping for a single night - rest area or rv park?
Campground.
Ask for a pull thru site. There are a plethora of mom & pop CG's close to all the roads that are very inexpensive.
In my travels as a full timer I found more and more rest stops NOT allowing overnight stays and/or they were closed. As they are closing more and more due to lack of funding. Also at some, the way you are parked you won't be able to open up the slides.
And I found out out that by staying in a CG you actually get to relax and revitalize more for continuing your journey. Move around a bit outside the RV and maybe take a needed REALLY LONG hot shower at the CG. :W
