No Overnight Parking at Interstate Rest Areas
I know a number of states do not allow overnight parking at the state-run rest areas along the interstates. Has anyone been asked to leave one of these locations during the night? We've stayed in them...

Define camping.
Use truck stops in the day hours. Don't use the big rig parking to stay overnight. Those spaces are limited. Truckers have to stop per law, they have few options where they can park.
You can park anywhere. You are not a trucker.
Rest stops are for Drivers to rest. We all pay for them and are entitled to use them for comfort stations and resting so we drive safely. That includes any driver, including truck drivers.
Truck stops are for truckers to stay and sleep and meet off-drive requirements. THey usually include an eat station, cafe, showers, etc and overnight sleeping.
But why do we have to separate either one or create conflict at all. We all drive, we all need rest. Campgrounds are not always convenient nor available.
