Place to Stop on the way from Illinois

[mdoc]

We're heading to WDW from the Chicago area for T'giving week. We'll probably leave at about 1:00 on the Friday before Thanksgiving and drive 9-10 hours, then do the rest on Saturday. We usually end up stopping late at night after campground offices have closed and when rest stops and Flying J parking areas are full. Does anyone know of a good place to stop that's roughly halfway between Chicago and WDW? Either a campground that's open late, a WalMart or equivalent or a rest area that doesn't fill up? We have a MH with a generator so we don't need any hookups - just a place to stop and catch some sleep.

We have stopped before at this campground:
Lookout Mtn. / Chattanooga West KOA, TN
It looks half way for you.
If I remeber right they have easy pull-thru.
When we travel, often we get in the campgrounds late at night too.
We just call ahead when we are sure where we are going to stop
and reserve our spot then. We use reserveamerica.com to find the
campground in the area we are going.
That site is great, list all campgroungs, state, national and privstly owned.
Our picks are mostly parks but sometimes they don't accomodate our size.
Safe trip to you and see at the world at Thanksgiving.
We will be travelling on Friday/Saturday too.

Walmart at exit 81 on I75, when going south take a left Walmart will be on left less than a mile. 24 hour also has Murphy gas and diesel. Cracker Barrel at same exit if you need that. Have a good trip.
