We are moving to Tennessee and we will be leaving the Central Valley of California on April 15th.
I would like some suggestions on places to stay along the route, Like City Parks, Churches, Wal-Marts, Flying J's, etc.
We are not going to stay at freebe places every night but if there are places we can stay once in a while it would be nice just to be able to pull in and spend the night....
I know about freecampgrounds.com. But I would like to hear about some real time experience's that you have had recently...
Thanks So Much Lee

Sayre OK, north on 4th street to the city municipal golf course, $12 honor box. Shaded, dirt/grass sites water/electric. Awesome stop, putt putt, city pool, golf, great employees.
Burns city park N. Little Rock off I-40, $16 W/E large private paved sites in the woods. another awesome one, we wanted to stay longer.
Grants NM, Blue spruce, $11 W/E an escapees park. Park on the right in the trees, NOT on the left. Nice, no, good for a night, yes. Safer than a truck stop.
These just fell into where we were for the end of long days.
Have fun Lee, we'll miss y'all.

Cedars of Lebanon State Park, six miles of I-40 at Lebanon, TN on Highway 231. Nice paved pull-thru sites with E/W and dump station. $17.25 - not free but not expensive either.
Free: At the North Carolina State line take the 1st exit (exit 1). Get back on I-40 headed WEST. Stop at the Tennessee Welcome Center. It is posted "no overnite parking" but if you arrive after dark, they don't say anything. You can ALWAYS find a spot there - tractor/trailers are not permitted. There is a large truck parking area and almost no one there. We have stayed there several times and have never had any problems. The only drawback is having to drive a few miles the next morning in order to get back on I-40 east.
Free - In Tennessee Exit 424 there is BP (used to be Marathon) station with truck parking. Left back under the interstate it will be on the right. It is a gravel lot and the last few times I have been through there, it was full (stop early). It holds about 6-8 trucks. Easy to get into and out of with lots of turn around room. I usually gas up there because of the pull thru pumps.
