très bon endroit pour passer la nuit en VR 30 pieds avec un Dolley et auto en traction. prendre un espace autour de la cour arrière, dans un coin, parce QI il y aura beaucoup de vans qui vont venir pour y passer la nuit. Alors laisser leur de la place, sinon vous pouvez aussi rester plus à l’avant, plus tranquille et moins éclairé.

Great spot nice big lot and there are 2 working plugs on the new washroom building.

standard rest stop. picknik tables, running water, toilets, no sign "no overnight parking".

Report Check-In

Nice rest area. Has a large parking area, picnic tables, a bathroom with running water and flush toilets. However, one was horribly backed up so could only use one toilet (it seems like a trend here🤔). Anyways, one night was good enough for me. The mosquitos were a little annoying. This place is shared with truck drivers so be aware that there’s going to be some noise throughout the night. But overall, not bad.

Nice little rest stop to spend the night, large parking and brand new toilet. A bit noisy with truck stopping and train going by 2 or 3 time a night.

Clean rest area with pick nick tables.
One toilet clean and one blocked.
Very close to Hwy and some big trucks were parked

Report Check-In

As described. Lots of trucks park for long break, with engine running. Didn’t mind, but be aware. The front section (closer to road) is more quiet, with less light. Flush toilet, but very dirty today…. As bad as: couldn’t use it. One of it is totally block and overflow.

Lots of Picnic tables, some even under a shelter. Lots of truck/rv parking at the back.
Little creek runs along side the rest stop.

Report Check-In

The washrooms are open now with flushing toilets, non-potable water, electrical outlets.

No bathrooms (yet), but lots of space, small creek, garbage, plug ins if needed, bit pee smelly, of course road and truck noise, but a pretty good option for an overnight.
There was an hour time difference between our bathroom and bed! Funny.

Nice resting stop, clean bathrooms. Right of the highway and there are picnic tables.

Report Check-In

Noisy and buggy. Fine if you need a place to sleep, but far from ideal.

Report Check-In

There is no wifi at this location. Very dirty, human feces everywhere. Good to stop and stay in your vehicle, but avoid the facilities. Car picnic loop not plowed during the winter,

Nice and clean washrooms. A lot of trucks idling all night so not very quiet.

Report Check-In

As described, good place to stay the night. It's not just pit toilets, but regular ones, very clean, open in winter. The water from the tap isn't potable. There is quite a lot of noise from the highway and from running trucks over night though, so not very quiet.

Looks like great place. To early to stay but maybe on return trip

Stopped here and would of stayed, but it was just to early in the day, and the time change made it an hour earlier. Lots of room.

Rest Area like many other. Traffic calm down at night.

Pretty easy to find, there's a road to get to it. It is on concrete. The WC were closed because of construction.

Report Check-In

As described, reasonably quiet for a rest area. Toilets open. Average cell connection.

Report Check-In

Good sized rest stop with pit toilets. Lots of people (vans, trucks, campers) parked here when I did. Felt safe. A bit noisy but if it’s getting dark, best to sleep here than hit wildlife on the road!

Report Check-In

Rest stop, bathrooms. Good spot if you can’t make it to thunder bay before dark.

Just off of the highway

Report Check-In

As described, two trains passed during the night on the other side of the road and a lot of cars and trucks stopped to rest.

Parking bitumé, un peu en pente avec toilettes. Proche de la route et de la voie ferrée mais peu de circulation.
