Closed for the season! It's a bummer cuz it looked really nice :(

What a lovely spot! It’s set back from the road and surrounded by trees, which cuts the noise fairly well. We have two dogs, and felt safe allowing them to explore off-leash while there was no one there. Another traveller did pull in and we met him, but the sites are all individual and separate, so if you want privacy, this is for sure the spot. Our camper is 21ft. long, pulled with a Dodge Ram, and we had plenty of room. Bathrooms are obviously maintained regularly. You can walk in a big circle around the whole rest area. I would say there are probably 5 or six private sites, so good chance one would be free. There isn’t much selection as far as free sites, so we were sure glad to find this one! As a bonus, the sunsets are gorgeous!!

Endroit sincèrement parfait pour dormir et se préparer un repas. On peut même faire un feu (tout est aménagé pour ça). Seul problème : apportez-vous des bouchons. On est collé sur l’autoroute et les trains passent. J’ignore pourquoi, ils sifflent même à l’approche de notre lieu. Il y avait quelques personnes qui passaient la nuit avec nous et on ne s’en est même pas rendu compte. L’espace est grand et vraiment bien aménagé pour qu’on soit à une grande distance, intime, avec les autres. J’avais des bouchons, alors je reviendrais. ;)

Immense aire de repos. Près de l' autoroute, donc facile d' accès. nous avons un vr de 40 pieds et n' avons eu aucun problème à nous stationner. Les trains sifflent la nuit!

Stop over for a break, it’s seems that is good place for overnight. At least 3 big spot for trailers and large rv’s.

Report Check-In

Great spot for a stopover along the TCH. Lots of space and bins to use. We didn’t use the toilets but they are there if you require!

If you’re staying at somewhere like this and don’t have earplugs then it’s going to be noisy, but it’s also free and convenient so what’s not to like.

That’s a Classic rest area, with disgusting pit toilet, huge bins not friendly, noises from the road and this old Ring train in the middle of the night… Huuuum We love it ! Not glamourous, but ok for one night if you don’t have any others choice…

Report Check-In

Enjoyed our stay. Pit toilets weren’t clean but acceptable. Free stay. Great if you are self contained. Paved, grassy areas, some what level, pull offs for 5-6 rv’s tenting areas also. Close to highway and train tracks and cell tower.

Great spot just off the Hwy. Yes there’s train and traffic noise but when you’re travelling it’s a quick in and out. Plus great set up for cooking on the fire pits!!

Beautiful side of the highway rest area with bathrooms. No running water. Lots of parking spots for RVs and trailers as well as grass for pitching a tent. A couple of picnic tables and fire pits as well. Not the quietest with the nearby cows, highway and the train that passes every once in a while.

Highly recommend for a nights stay!

Still open and still kinda busy but a nice place. Plenty of spots and tables + fire rings.

Lovely site just off the Trans Canada highway, stayed overnight. Clean, large garbage bins. Looked in the pit toilets but didn’t use, no toilet paper, but did have hand sanitizer.
Not busy this time of year.
Highway noise as it is next-door, manageable with earplugs.
Heard the trains a few times, it is close to a level crossing so it was accompanied by the horns.
Cows in the back field but they didn’t bother us, we heard some Moo’s.
Would definitely stay here again.
The dog loved it.

One of our favorite overnite spots crossing Canada. Clean, peaceful spots. My girlfriend heard moose in the morning. had a few trains in the night this time but its OK.

Super belle place, pas loin de la route avec pleins de tables à pic-nique. Il y a plusieurs zones, certaines sont loins de la route d’autre proche.
Aucune pancarte qui interdit de se stationner la nuit.

Super nice place, not far from the road with lots of picnic tables. There are several areas, some are far from the road of others nearby.
No sign prohibiting parking at night.
