Sometimes you will find that there are just too many
miles between you and your final destination. You will just need a safe
place to rest for the night. These pitstops I call overnighters.
Nevada:
Walmart this Fallon Nevada
2333 Reno Highway
Fallon, Nevada
775-428-1700
This
Walmart is open 24 hours. Campers are welcome to stay overnight. (I
think that Walmart hopes that you will shop before you leave… Which we
always do.) The parking lot is large. It was noisy because we parked
close to the highway. We parked out of the way so I could open the slide
a little bit in the motorhome. I know you're probably not supposed to
do that but, otherwise I wouldn't be able to move in my wheelchair. Be
careful, they used many cement islands as a traffic systems.
South Dakota:
I
couldn't believe it but, in South Dakota it is illegal to park overnight
at a rest stop, Walmart, Target, etc... However, Sam's Club will let you
stay. If you park close enough, Sam's Club is an AT&T free hotspot
Sam's Club
925 Eglin Street
Rapid City, SD 57701
This was a quiet spot to stay. They had a large parking lot. Needless to say, it filled up quick.
Missouri:
Rock Port Rest Area
Visitor center and Vending machines
This
was a good stop. It was mostly quiet. A lot of big trucks stay here so
watch out for the refrigerators. They have to run all night and it can
get noisy.
Tennessee:
Sams club
3315 Guthrie Hwy
Clarksville, TN. 37040
This
was a large parking lot. Ordinarily it would've been great but, we
spent the night near the rudest truck driver ever. He could've been
anywhere but chose to park near the motorhomes. If that wasn't bad
enough it was a refrigerator truck with a driver who chose to rev his
motor all night long.
** Lesson learned… Travel with earplugs!
