A year ago I made a round trip from CA to IL to purchase my my divorce house, and then the one-way moving trip in August. Almost all of it was on Interstates.



Driving solo with my little dog, I found www.interstaterestareas.com very useful for finding places to stop, stretch, get the lil guy out, nap etc.


Every evening or morning before departure, I checked this website for the mileposts of any rest areas on that day's leg and wrote them on a note card.


The web site even notes which areas are closed, and there are also comments from users.



Then, when Reggie got restless or I got hungry or drowsy, it was easy to tell how far to the next rest area.

Thanks for posting this. I usually used Bing maps but yours shows way many more. We'll be on a multi-state venture and this will come in handy. I appreciate it!

I have used that. Please double check the rules with the local DOT however as the ones posted on the site are sometimes a bit out of date I have found. Mostly related to "overnight parking" and maximum length (in hours) you can stay

I typically run iExit Trucks on a phone/IPad.

It shows what is at the upcoming exits and you can easily filter for Rest Areas.
