What are the rest stops on the NJ turnpike north?
I am planning a big road trip and I am looking for rest areas. I think I’m allowed to spend the night in my car in some of them. What are the rest stops on the NJ turnpike north?

Great question! There are six rest stops on the NJ turnpike north, from Salem County to Bergen County.
You will find service plazas on the
New Jersey
turnpike approximately every 20 miles going both directions. In some areas, it’s more like 15 miles between each rest stop.Here are the northbound rest stops:
- Mile Marker 5, John Fenwick Service Plaza in Salem County
- Mile Marker 39, James Fenimore Cooper Service Plaza in Burlington County
- Mile Marker 58, Woodrow Wilson Service Plaza in Mercer County
- Mile Marker 78, Joyce Kilmer Service Plaza in Middlesex County
- Mile Marker 92, Grover Cleveland Service Plaza in Middlesex County
- Mile Marker 116, Vince Lombardi Service Plaza in Bergen County (this is a bi-directional rest stop, available to both north and southbound drivers)
Note that you cannot stay overnight with your vehicle at a Turnpike service plaza. However, there are other rest areas and overlooks in New Jersey that may allow overnight car parking. If you plan to
live in your car
during your road trip, make sure you plan ahead carefully!As part of your road trip planning, make sure you set aside time to update your
car insurance
coverage. You can use the Jerry
app to add things like roadside assistance. Jerry can also help make sure you’re getting the lowest possible rate to cover
your vehicle.Have a great trip!
