Default Re: Cheap freshen-up alternatives to motels while driving long distances?

Yeah, the truck stops are nice (well, some of them!). Not all of them, but most will supply soap and towels. I like to stop at truck stops in the middle of the night to get gas because they are well lit and there are always lots of people around.

We have stopped at camping places to shower on our cross country trips from Portland to St. Louis (and back). Some places have "shower only" rates. It took some internet searching. You had to bring your own soap and towels (shower before you eat and throw the towel over something while you eat so it will dry).
