quick_answer: Quick answer: I-75 runs about 1,786 miles from Hialeah, Florida to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan — the full length of the eastern United States, through six states. It is one of the busiest snowbird and freight corridors in the country, and the rest area rules on it are inconsistent enough to plan around.

faqs[5]{q,a}:
  Can you sleep at Georgia rest areas on I-75?,Yes, for resting, sleeping and eating. Georgia law sets no defined time limit. Camping is still prohibited.
  What is the Tennessee rest-area rule on I-75?,No overnight at rest areas. About two hours, reported and enforced, through Chattanooga and Knoxville. Plan Tennessee as a short break.
  Can RVs overnight at Ohio rest areas on I-75?,Not at ordinary I-75 rest areas. Eight Ohio Turnpike service plazas accept RVs up to 40 feet overnight. That is the Ohio exception.
  Do I-75 rest areas fill up in snowbird season?,Yes. Late autumn southbound and early spring northbound, lots fill early. Plan to stop earlier in the evening than you would off-season.
  Should you stop in Georgia or Tennessee if you are tired near Chattanooga?,Northbound, stop in Georgia before the line. Southbound, Georgia is the first place you can properly rest after Tennessee.
