Overnighting around Augusta, GA or SC

Never overnighted before.
Leaving from Chattanooga,Tn to Myrtle Beach.

I plan to leave right after work and hope to make it to Augusta before stopping for the night.

Does anyone know the laws in this area on either rest area, or Walmart overnighting?

There is a nice rest area just inside SC, but I've never noticed if overnighting was allowed.

We normally travel straight thru in the day, but we want to avoid some traffic if possible.
  • Petersburg COE on Strom Thurman lake. Just outside Agusta.
  • If you are taking I-20 there are two Flying J in SC that welcome RVs. One is near Colombia, SC.

  • Yes I'm taking 20. Thank you both for the responses. I did finally reach someone in SC DOT who told me no overnighting in rest area. 2hr max they said.
  • AH Stephens State park in Crawfordville, GA. And there is a Georgia rest area just before exit #183. If you weren't getting such a late start I'd suggest Barnyard in Columbia SC. I know its longer (15-20 miles) but you could go up I-85 & back down I-26, stop at Lake Hartwell KOA. We did that once when we had to leave late.
  • There is a Cabelas in Augusta about a mile off the interstate. Give them a call. I have stayed at several and they are quiet except for the stockers changing shifts around midnight. They ban trucks at all locations but most allow RV's.
