C’est parfait pour la nuit. Un peu de bruit mais très bien dormi.

Nice hiking trails. A short walk to marsh overlook with a WW2 cannon.

This spot was great! A bit of road noise but kind of like a white noise, the parking lot was almost empty except for a couple semis and two or three rigs, slept in s small sedan with the windows cracked and weren’t bothered.

Great place to spend the night. Large paved parking lot. Six RVs here last night, and a couple of 18 wheelers. Also has a birding - nature walk trail. Get a parking place with a view of the Chesapeake Bay😍

Very quiet rest stop. There were several other rigs staying there and it felt very safe. Bathrooms are open 24/7 and there is access to a trail for the Eastern Shore of Virginia Wildlife Refuge. Great overnight stop

Good huge rest stop and 48hrs limit sign.
Some highway traffic noise but not like interstate noise.
Couple campers and trucks are here.

Stayed here one night. Large lot with spots for cars/vans/RVs/tractor trailers, good bathrooms, well lit. Signs saying 48 hours max. Stayed here in our camper van near the back of the bathroom building and away from the truck/RV area. We had a quiet and pleasant night’s stay. Would definitely stay again.

Large lot and pet area, and even had a small walking trail behind the center. Bathrooms are open 24/7 and there’s also a small info center and a museum store. Outlets outside are unlocked, we were able to charge our Bluetti with no issue. Moderate road noise but you’re literally next to the Bay Bridge so that’s expected, did get a little quieter at night though.

Arrived late at night and left early morning. Nice rest spot with amenities. Plenty of parking.

Good stopover, huge lot, well maintained bathrooms, posted 48 hours max.
less truck noise behind the visitor building, the large parking truck side gets busy.

Simple and great rest place. I’m a light sleeper and while I did hear the truck generators it didn’t seem to bother me when I was asleep. There is light noise of trucks pulling in and out. Overall I would stay here again if needed on my road trips

Huge parking lot with no shade. Didn’t stay the night but a good rest stop

Parking lot at the welcome center. Allows stays up to 48 hours. Lots of big rigs and RVs parked overnight. Some noise from the traffic and hum of the rigs, but we slept well. Nice little hiking trail into the refuge. Has Bathrooms and vending machines. Nice overnight stop.

There are signs maximum stay 48 hours, but we stayed for 3 days and it was o.k. Internet is rather good. In the nearby Visitor Center you can fill water.

Rest stop pretty large with lots of parking. 2 other Rv’s and lots of trucks. Slept peacefully through the night, police patrolled and was not bothered.

Clean bathrooms open all night, no access to drinking water as far as I could tell. Is a short national wildlife walk right out of the parking lot.

Would recommend for an easy place to sleep right off the highway, although it isn’t beautiful.

Rest stop/welcome center. Large open lot. Clean restrooms open 24 hours. Recycle bins. Drink and snack machines. Welcome center open 8:30-4.

Used by lots of trucks so you have the hum of truck generators all night. We had a restful night though.

I think there is WiFi at the welcome center but the signal wasn't strong enough for me to log on from the van.
