In this area, there doesn't seem to be much of anything, No RV parks for many miles, no rest areas for even more miles. Between here and Texas, there was only one rest area besides this one.
So I finally get here at the MS Visitor Center Rest Area in Bay St. Louis, MS. Just a few miles past the LA border. Lots of room, several 18 wheeler trucks are parked here. Other than the Johns, this place is closed down. Nobody around.
On the way in, there are two signs that say "no overnight parking".
So I guess I will stay here overnight and see if anybody kicks me out. If there is nobody here to kick me out, who will kick me out?
This is the first rest area I have seen that says "no overnight parking". Does it mean what it says? I ask because I once asked a cop in Oregon at a rest stop what "no overnight camping" meant. At least there, I means no tents, doesn't apply to RVs.
Texas has plenty of rest areas. Also picnic areas. The picnic areas have a sign that says we can park there for up to 24 hours. And I did park overnight in one of those picnic areas. After Texas, there isn't much of anything. At least not when I checked in my GPS in the direction I am going.
