Latest Check-Ins
Ok spot for the night. Officer came around in the night and asked everyone who wasn’t in proper parking spots to move into parking spaces, said it was fine to sleep here.
Report Check-InSlept the night. No problems. Avoid if you don't like road noise. There's a blue water spigot off the east side of the rest room building and also a tap on the building wall that is signed for potable water. Both were working mid-june.
Report Check-InFull rest stop. Over 30 semi truck spaces. Another additional area/second row of at least 20 spaces. Parking along sidewalk including room for 4 trucks with trailers/5th wheels marked as handicap. Full strength cell service. Blue potable water spigot by the covered sitting area with hose connection.
Notice for pets-
Foxtail plants are a weed-type grass that can cause serious problems for dogs. Flourishing in the summer months, the seeds from these annoying weeds are designed to burrow into the ground. If they attach to your pet's coat and burrow into the skin, this can lead to pain, infection, and sometimes more serious issues.
Clean rest rooms, smallish pet area at the west end. Noisy, well lit. Good breakfast spot next exit west
Report Check-InNo tent camping signs around…a little confusing but spent a night in RV no problem. A bit loud and busy.
Report Check-InStayed here 5/17/2022. Nice rest stop, clean toilets and potable water. It is a bit noisy from the I-84 traffic but once we fell asleep, the sound didn’t bother us.
Report Check-InProbably the 2nd worst truck stop to sleep at as far as highway noise. I’m ex military and can pretty much sleep through anything. But this is right on i84. No buffer. No trees. I wish I could post a video of the noise. And it was all night.
Great att and Verizon cell LTE.
Report Check-InLarge rest area. Plenty of RV overnighters there with us. Note to people with dogs: their designated dog area is covered in foxtail, a plant that can seriously hurt dogs. Although I’d like to follow the rules, I don’t recommend using the designated area. My pup set one foot inside it, got one on her foot that caused her to fall and got them on her face and neck on the way down. Had to carefully remove them so they wouldn’t imbed themselves. Be careful and keep your pups safe!
Report Check-InNice place to stop for some sleep there is a gravel shoulder on the truck side that worked well for our rooftop tent
Report Check-Inlittle noisy because the truckers don’t take the engine off but for a night absolutely ok. btw it’s completely illegal to sleep in your vehicle in Boise. so don’t try to sleep at Walmart as I do.
Report Check-InBig rest area. Maximum stay 10 hrs to recover from fatigue and to regain driving ability.
There is a rest area on the westbound side as well. I assume that same rules apply there.
