Clean, quiet, perfect.
Was able to dump grey water and fill potable water too.
Gorgeous rest stop. Much more removed from the highway than the southbound one. Clean bathrooms and a water spigot. A few other people sleeping in their cars. No one really seemed to mind the 8 hour limit including the maintenance guy who arrived in the morning.
Report Check-InRest stop off the Highway, very quiet. It’s raised a bit away from the road so you don’t have flashing lights or cars passing. It’s right next to the forest so it makes for a beautiful picnic site as well. Few other vans and car campers. Restrooms are clean as well. Excellent stay for a night.
Report Check-InStopped at southbound rest area, and luck of the draw had talkative neighbors. Decided to move and try out the northbound, rest area and appreciate the tree dividers so that it is somewhat shielded from the Highway noise. I think it’s worth staying here, regardless of your direction of travel.
Report Check-InGreat rest stop. Clean restrooms, water and a free dump. 8 hour max so please be respectful.
Report Check-InVery clean, well-maintained. Great ATT service. No Verizon, even with weboost. Lots of trees and secluded a bit off the highway.
Report Check-InYour typical rest area. Convenient spot for visiting Redwood NP. Fairly busy with overnighters.
Report Check-InStayed here one night on a Monday. At least 5 other vehicles stayed the night with me. Beautiful trees and walking trail and for the most part clean facilities, kind of smelly outside sometimes. NO Verizon service. Overall, great pit stop before redwoods.
Report Check-InGorgeous rest area with Redwood groves, water spigot, bathrooms and trash
Report Check-InVery quiet night felt secure, a lot of vans and others travellers, the toilets are very clean, the little forest in front of us enjoyable for our dogs… some good cell reception… perfect
Report Check-Inabsolutely beautiful area to spend the night. lovely to walk around with the puppy too. all the trees were beautiful
Report Check-InThe best rest area I’ve ever stayed at. Ancient redwoods, quiet and clean bathrooms. Much more removed from the 101 than the southbound rest area
Report Check-InNice rest stop with clean toilet facilities, potable water and trash/recycling bins. Stayed the night with no issues.
Report Check-InAs previously mentioned, really nice rest stop. Noise from the highway was pretty minimal, the bathrooms are super clean. Water spigot’s working. I stayed more than 8 hours with no issue
Report Check-InEast over night with at least 10 other rigs. Showed up at 8 PM and didn’t leave until 8 AM without issue. No one else from last night had left when we pulled out. Beautiful redwoods here and mostly quiet. Between 1-2 bars LTE on ATT. Garbage cans available. Free!
Report Check-InSpent the night at the NB Trinidad rest stop. The rest area is beautiful—a lovely walking path into a dark canopy of redwood trees. Clean bathrooms, potable water (might want to let the faucet run a bit), and a really kind rest stop attendant named Jeff. A good place to feel relaxed and safe to rest for the night.
Report Check-InWonderful rest area. Stayed 10pm-7am on a Monday night and it was very quiet; only 2 other folks spending the night. A decent ATT service. Can confirm the northbound rest area is superior the southbound. Northbound is more secluded in the trees and slightly elevated above 101. Southbound is very open right on the highway.
Report Check-InExcelente lugar para descansar o pasar la noche. Te recomiendo uses tapones de oídos para dormir porque pasan autos todo el tiempo.
Es tranquilo, seguro y limpio.
El plus es qué hay un bosque de árboles para poder tomar un baño de bosque.
100%recomendado!
Stayed here over New Year's Eve had two other class B fans spending the night also no problems beautiful place
Report Check-InThis is a lovely place for an overnight.
We stayed a second night after hiking in the redwoods all day. Talked with the maintenance guy - he takes great pride in keeping the place nice.
Awesome stop. Very clean, good water available, friendly ranger with good tips on road closures. Many other overnighters, including a tent. First time I’ve seen that at a rest stop. We may have stayed slightly over the 8 hr timeframe.
Report Check-InBeautiful and quiet rest area. Admittedly, we were here for a good 13 hours rather than 8 and no one bothered us. There are picnic areas an a small trail/walking area around the back of the rest stop where you can see some redwoods. Would definitely stay here again
Report Check-InBeautiful spot for a rest area, lots of trees and was able to fill my water.
Report Check-InVery nice and clean rest area, we spend one night really quiet, you can stay only 8 hours
Report Check-InBack open. Lots of campers resting for the night. No Verizon service but the southbound rest area has 1 bar of service.
Report Check-InStill closed for renovations. Take Patrick's Point exit to loop back down to southbound rest area.
Report Check-InStill closed, unfortunately, because it looks much better than the southbound, more secluded.
Report Check-InNice and quiet place to spend the night. Potable water, picnic tables, clean restrooms and abeautifull forest to walk around.
Weer other travlers here and many people came to talk to us about ouw word wide trip.
Nice Rest Area with toilet and dump station. 8 hours allowed, but many RV‘s stay longer - no problem. We stayed one night.
Report Check-InGood little spot to let dogs out, there’s clean bathrooms and fresh well water here that’s free, just run it first for about 3 minutes. Nice spot to rest and take a good break.
Report Check-InGood spot, a bit off the freeway and separated by trees. Definitely looked better than the southbound rear area.
Report Check-InUn "rest area" parfait pour une nuit, très boisé. Nous ne sommes pas les seuls...
Report Check-InAs described before, nice place to stay for a night on your way North/South. We stayed at the one in the North bound. Don't know how the one in the SB is, but there were also strange people here. We saw the 8 hours sign but no one seemed to bother. Plenty of travelers/people living in their cars. It was ok. No T-Mobile service.
Report Check-InFree rest area with good facilities just off the North bound 101. Car parking separate to RV/Truck parking and right under some trees so very quiet overnight. Clean facilities, water spigots and even a free dump station.
8hr maximum stay but this is not strictly enforced.
Nice rest area, free dump station and water. Picnic tables, and even a beautiful walk in the forest! Free!
Report Check-InGreat place with clean restroom and picnic table. Many people who sleep in his car.
Report Check-In8 hours parking allowed. Good rest area. Much better than the one south bound.
