If the place was actually nice enough to stay for days, it would be a camp_site. Either way the truck stop might have amenities of sanitary_dump_station <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Toilet_Holding_Tank_Disposal>, water_point, and perhaps amenity=toilets for humans. If it has a sanitary dump station, but you don't know the exact location, tag sanitary_dump_station=yes. Tag sanitary_dump_station=no is important information here also. In Europe there are hundreds of gravel parking lots marked caravan_site: the sites consist sorely of a parking and (perhaps) water and toilet facilities.
