Something not right?

Description

It's a rest area. Large spots behind the trees/restrooms for trucks/RVs. Makes it a little quieter if staying overnight, still hear the road a bit, but it's not a super high traffic area.

Bathrooms, picnic tables, pet areas, trash cans, water fountains, vending machines.

Also dump stations, 3 lanes! Potable and non-potable at the stations.

Nice spot if you're down this way and need to rest for a bit.

As a solo female I was a little unsure about staying when I saw a man sitting alone in the dark at a picnic table at 11pm when I pulled in, but there were others clearly parked for the night so I decided to stay. Had no issues & it was fine to catch a few hours of sleep.

Very nice rest area located on the eastbound side of the highway. Restrooms on site. Limited trash receptacles. Four lanes at the dump station. Potable water available. Traffic noise during the day, quiet at night. Large car parking area. Large RV and truck parking area, level. T-Mobile and Verizon, very good!

We stayed one night with no problem. There were numerous overnighters there with us. It was a little noisy with passing traffic, but got quieter through the evening.
Good Verizon signal.

As described others, Large rest stop with picnic tables and bathrooms. Grassy area for dogs. Not too noisy at night.

Report Check-In

Arrived at dusk. Quiet. Lots of room. Dump station and fresh water made this a very convenient stop.

Report Check-In

A very noisy stay. Sign says no more than 8 hours but lots of people overnight. If all fails this works but highway is right next to it and some trucks run their engine and people do all sorts of noisy things during the night! Don’t count on a quiet comfy night of sleep.

Like others have said, this a rest area. I've stayed here several times. It's fairly quiet. This time, though, there are a number of people car-camping on the grass (on the truck side). One camper even claimed a picnic table for themselves. I don't know if this is a one time thing or if this is a new fad.

Rest area off freeway with bathrooms and picnic tables. A bit of noise from traffic which is expected. Signs say 8hr parking came late and left early without any issues good place to stay for a night.
