Latest Check-Ins
Nice big parking area for cars, vans and small RVs. There is a few long parking spaces for big RVs or trailers. The bathrooms seem pretty clean and there’s a lot of history of the area on display, I did notice several picnic tables around. None of the parking is perfectly level but people seem to make it work. I’ve got a couple of bars of Verizon. There is a little road noise from the freeway but it’s not too bad.
Report Check-InPulled in here around 10pm and didn’t have problem finding a place to park near the trucks. Little bit of truck noise but overall had a nice rest and they have clean facilities
Report Check-InIf you look at the satellite image you can see there's parking by the semi in the back. I stayed there because you can't hear the traffic, only idling semis which I prefer. Also you're not right near the bathrooms so people aren't pulling up next to you playing music etc.
Report Check-Intwo water taps, one by restrooms, one near truck parking. neither tap has threads on it so can only fill a jug. water tastes good and tested very good less than 30 PPM TDS.
Report Check-InI felt safe here traveling solo. in the morning the cliff swallows were nesting near the bathrooms. very beautiful.
Report Check-InWestbound..very nice..seems quieter than Donner Summit rest area up the road. 8 hrs free parking. I did find a faucet with treads that I think is potable. See pics
