Rest areas with truck parking in Nevada

Rest area or truck stop?

A public rest area is run by the state: parking, restrooms and often picnic areas, usually without fuel, food or showers, and often with a time limit. A truck stop is a private business with diesel, food, showers and larger lots; parking there may be free for customers or reserved for a fee. This page lists public rest areas only.
