Latest Check-Ins
Nice place. It says no camping but unsure if sleeping in your car is overnight allowed or not. It’s a bit unclear
Nonetheless, I slept in my car there twice and had no issues. I just made sure to leave before sunrise just in case. It looks pretty inside and has nice bathrooms, including a lockable solo bathroom
Report Check-InBig NO CAMPING sign when you enter the rest area. Saw at least 4 campers staying overnight though. I arrived around 10pm, and left around 7am. Put my window coverings up. No problems. Plenty quiet for a good nights sleep.
Report Check-InWe stopped for the night just fine, but definitely don't stick around. One of the workers in the morning was walking around taking pictures of rigs, and gave us the "you know this isn't a campground"
Report Check-InHad to make an emergency stop for the night. Didn't notice any "No Overnight" signs, but didn't look hard either. Was not bothered from around 8pm to 8am, though traffic through was fairly consistent. With so many good camping spots nearby I wouldn't have it as a first choice, but if you have to make a quick stop it's fine.
Report Check-InWe stayed here in our 32 ft skoolie and follow-car in the back with the trucks and RVs. A lot more semis here than RVs so it got pretty loud at night. Besides the “no camping” sign there were no “over night parking prohibited” signs! We felt safe and it was a convenient pull of from I-25 South!
Report Check-InRest area. We stayed where the 18 wheelers park in the back in a Sprinter and had no problems. Woke up to about 6’ of snow. Great overnight place.
Report Check-InI left, despite it being 1 am and the middle of a snow storm, there were still cars in the parking lot bumping music, and I got the impression it was just locales partying. Our society is a frustrating place my friends.
Report Check-InSpent 1 night here. There ARE “no overnight parking” signs, however I was not the only one that spent the night.

Report Check-InNice spot with a decent view. Got a bit sketchy a couple times but no worse than any Walmart and this was prettier and more convenient.
And of course the best price tag: FREE
decent rest area. what you would expect. vending machines, drinking water, pet area, ect...
plenty of room for big rigs.
i arrived at 2pm and will leave in the morning.
