Personally, I think this sort of information should be prominently accessible on any tour website. The question you ask are often in a FAQ section directly accessible from the home page.
As noted, distances between rest stops will vary. One consideration is terrain. For example, if your day starts with a 30 mile descent from camp, like one day on Cycle Oregon 2007, you’re likely not going to find a stop at mile 15. But if it starts with a 13 miles climb from camp, like a day during that same event, you’ll likely find a stop at the top of that climb.
