Arrived @ 7pm, nice spot! A bit off the interstate, place outside to fill water jugs. Pet area, car lot pretty quiet as it is a little distance from truckers. There are trucks passing all night to go to their spot, but it's still pretty nice. Flat, and it's
not too bright!

Nice bathrooms, clean area, quiet cars and people. Slept in a built out van with condos covers. If you don’t have window covers I don’t recommend. We ended up putting our surfboards in the car but others around us didn’t we noticed in the morning, and nothing seemed to be missing. Nice place.

Clean with ample parking. busy but a calm night's rest just off the freeway. Bathrooms fine.

Nice newer rest area. Choose to stop and sleep here because the fog made the highway too dangerous. You’re technically not supposed to stay longer than 8 hours, but I was there closer to 12 and no one bothered me. Water, bathrooms, garbage/recycling, great Verizon service. I sleep with ear plugs, so the car noise didn’t bother me.

Relatively quiet for a rest area being quite far from the highway and the truck parking distant from the car area. This area was clean, with working water faucet outside and a nice dog walk area. Table picnic. Good cellular connexion ( T-Mobile)
