Knoxville to Jackson: where to stop

A stop about every 45 minutes

The best bet in each stretch: a likely-clean restroom first, then a travel center or gas. Estimates come from who runs the store until drivers review it.

• 320 Crossville · Genesis Road Likely cleanest. Buc-ee's Crossville · 67 mi from Knoxville 1 hr in
• 286 Cookeville · South Willow Avenue Likely cleanest. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Cookeville · 101 mi from Knoxville 1 hr 30 min in
• 239 Watertown · Lebanon Likely cleanest. QuikTrip Lebanon · 148 mi from Knoxville 2 hr 15 min in
• 172 Centerville · Dickson Likely cleanest. QuikTrip 215 mi from Knoxville 3 hr 15 min in
