Something not right?
Description
It’s a pull over on the right hand side before you cross the bridge on hwy 1 into revelstoke. There are pit toilets, dark, truckers stay there and can be loud with the trains at night.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
sign says 8hr parking, would say it isn't enforced. lots of room for TT, motor homes, vans and cars. right next to highway and rails, very loud with traffic and trains all night. pit toilets only
Report Check-InDidn’t stay but come apparent full timers present so suspect 8 hour rule isn’t enforced.
Report Check-Instayed for 2 nights, lots for campers, maybe around 15 cars and 15 truckers a night. signs say don't stay for more then 8 hours but some people seem to stay the whole day. it's a load spot with the train and highway but its free and close to the ski resort.
Report Check-InAs described. Many (30ish?) other rigs here midweek in Winter. Seems to be 'the spot' if you're skiing Revelstoke. Keep and clean and hopefully it won't get shut down!
Report Check-InConsidered Revelstoke Rest Area on Google maps, it’s a large place right off highway 1. Great spot to stay overnight. Kind of loud with the highway and occasional train.
Report Check-InWe arrived around 10pm and there was still plenty of space. It's super easy to find, very large and relatively quiet. The flip side is that a large truck pulled beside us while we were sleeping and had his engine / generator running by our window all night. That's the risk you take. So bring ear plugs!! :) But if that would not have happened, it was a perfect spot for a late rest spot.
We did not use any of the facilities listed, so I can't comment.
Alternative would have been to sleep at the rest area at "the last spike", about 30 minutes west.
Stayed here for 1 night.
It's somewhere to stay when overnight parking is not permitted anywhere else in town and when your just passing through.
Spacious rest area, pit toilets were well maintained. Definitely loud with train and truck noise, but we still got a good rest. Take a walk across the bridge and watch the beautiful sunset!
Report Check-InYep, loud, earplugs help. Some edible berries at the side. Pit toilets.
Report Check-Intruck stop was great and free
make sure to park your vans. rv trailers and suv campers on the
far side where the woods are
Giant area to rest. Sign says up to 8 hours /stay. By the highway (Loud)
Report Check-Inmostly quiet, mix of truckers and cars/vans. A couple of overhead flood lights and a few trucks driving around resulted in a light sleep, but lots of space
Report Check-InWe stayed here one night. It was fairly easy to find a level spot. We parked alongside the treelike and had a nice bit of privacy in our kitchen looking into the trees (slides are on the same side). There are pit toilets and garbage/recycle bins. No one bothered us. It was noisy until approx. midnight and then I didn't hear anything until morning. Great spot.
There are also spots across the road in the trees and by the water under the bridge, but that area felt a bit too sketchy for us.
A lot of RVs, cars, trucks... Looks like some of them are living here. A lot of trash. Very noisy at night due to highway and railroad proximity.
Report Check-Insign says please keep it 8 hrs but I don't think they're too strict here
Report Check-InGrand stationnement à l’entrée de la ville pour camion mais il y a plusieurs VR aussi, c’est indiqué stationnement 8hrs mais la plupart des véhicules semblent installer pour la nuit il y a un pt peu de bruit c’est juste à côté de l’autoroute #1 . Toilettes sèches et poubelles.sa fait l’affaire pour une nuit de passage,restos près et tim Horton près aussi.
Report Check-InLots of space at this Truck Pull out. Quite noisy and busy in the evening and morning. there are a few spaces in the shade, so it's worth it ;)
Report Check-InTons of semis overnight here as well as road noise from semis passing by all night. But it's free and it's legal. Pit toilet and trash cans. Huge lot.
Report Check-InThis place is in wrong location - it is located at 51.00419, -118.22443

Report Check-InSuper busy truck rest stop just outside of Revelstoke. Pit toilets on site. A little nicer than the side of the road options in town!
Report Check-InReally hoping I put this in correctly. It’s a pull over on the right hand side before you cross the bridge on hwy 1 into revelstoke. There are pit toilets, dark, truckers stay there and can be loud with the trains at night.
