Nice and quiet, only thing was I came here for WiFi but wasn’t able to find a network :( . So I’m changing the WiFi status to no (plz correct if I’m wrong) They also have vending machines for drinks and snacks.

Great overnight peaceful rest area for a night right off I40 East. Stayed here one night. Verizon service has 2 bars and wasn’t great.

Great overnight. Separate areas for trucks and cars. Lots of wooded area for shade. Highly recommend. I got one bar of 5g E using AT&T.

Nice place to overnight. Bathrooms open and water spigot in the picnic area. Nice stone tables with shelter from rain and charcoal grills also

As described by others, truck side is FULL. I’m one of ~4 on the car side. Many groups of 3-4 parking spots.

IDK if it’s busier in summer, but here in shoulder season, weather is pleasant & nearly deserted car parking.

Great stop right off the highway. Be aware, it’s on the east-bound side of the road. We were one of maybe 4 overnighters and we each had our own picnic area and parking. We are in a converted SUV so parking space isn’t much of an issue. We saw others in RVs use the multiple spaces allotted for their picnic area with no problem. Road noise was present but not terrible. We slept fine. Bathrooms were clean enough. Serious water pressure at the spigot next to our table. Almost too much pressure. No body bothered us. We’d be back.

Pulled in late night. Truck side was full full. Took the right at the split. Only one car present. Spots aren’t well marked but figured it out. Super quiet spot for a rest area.

Great place, especially on car side if you have a smaller rig. All these little cocoons of 3/4 parking spot. Can be very secluded and peaceful if you want to.
Lots of tree coverage as well.

Rest area perfect for free overnight. One lot for cars with restrooms, another for trucks. Off the highway I-40 but not noisy. Picnic tables, lots of parking, clean restrooms.
