I discovered that 8 of the OH Turnpike service plazas, on I-80, have a handful of overnight parking sites available in an RV section. These sites have
There are 4 eastbound and 4 westbound. They are spread out pretty evenly across the state. I checked out the Brady's Leap and Portage service plazas and they were clean, well lit, and not far from the service plaza building.
I was really pleased to find these as they make great places for an overnight stop on the way through. If nothing else, the dump stations are convenient. It does not list the cost for dumping only. I plan on contacting them to find out the fee (if any.)
UPDATE:
I called the Turnpike Commission customer service today and the representative said that there was no charge to use the dump station. Woohoo for Ohio!

Once you hit the mountains in CO, you are good to go, but there is nothing between the border and the front range if you are coming via I-76 or I-70!

Mike, unfortunately a fair amount of Walmart in Colorado do not permit overnight parking. With all of the camping options in the state, I can understand why that is.
I called the OH Turnpike Commission today and verified that you may use the dump station at no charge if you are not camping.
