Goodland Rest Area I-70

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Kansas's I-70 welcome center at mile marker eight doubles as an overnight stop for travelers crossing the high plains. The rest area sits directly off the interstate near St. Francis, functioning as a free, one-night-only parking area rather than a developed campground. Highway noise is a consistent reality here: reviews mention both interstate traffic and idling semi trucks in the adjacent trucking lanes. Most campers report it does not disrupt sleep significantly, especially after a long day on the road.

The site includes restrooms open 24 hours, covered picnic tables, grills, water hand pumps, trash cans, vending machines, and a dump station with water hookups. Overnight parking is restricted to the designated road surface. Vehicles may not park on the grass. The welcome center building opens from 8 AM to 5 PM and offers free coffee. The Goodland Travel Center I-70 is located less than a mile east along the same corridor for travelers wanting a nearby alternative.

The campground draws a practical crowd: cross-country road trippers, solo travelers, and RV travelers moving between Colorado and points east. Susan R. describes it as "a good stop for waiting out a storm overnight." Campers also note the open Kansas sky produces dark, clear nights with wide sightlines in every direction. This stop works best for travelers who need a no-cost, functional overnight on a long interstate haul and are comfortable with roadside ambient noise.

Many campers appreciated this free rest stop's complete amenities including 24-hour facilities and dump station. Highway noise is expected but manageable for most visitors making quick overnight stops.

This goes for Eastbound too

This app only offers the option for westbound, which was confusing when we were looking for a place. And eastbound is listed as a dump station, but you can do overnight camping. There is a sign in the welcome center for the bathroom is that says overnight stays are allowed one night. Bathrooms are good and clean. Lots of options for spaces to park. Just an FYI, there are lots of birds and bugs. There are many picnic tables and spaces, but the ones that aren’t covered are filled with bird doo. A good overnight stay though served a purpose.

Convenient Free Overnight on I70W

Surprisingly quiet considering it’s right next to the I70 (or I was that tired I didn’t notice). First to pull in for the night but when we woke up there was another Camper B RV, 2 cars, and fill up on the semi spots.

Bathrooms were open all night, older and a bit dirty, but serve the needed function. No other services available.

Nice Stop

A good stop for waiting out a storm overnight. Bathrooms are open 24 hours and clean. Has plenty of picnic areas with water hand pumps and trash cans. Next to highway so plenty of traffic noise. Felt comfortable staying the night. Would come back. Single female

Great one night camp!

Very nice free roadside rest stop camp right off the highway.

We felt safe, of course there's going to be highway noise. We are on a road trip after all :-) Nice bathrooms, dump station with water.

This fit the bill!

Thank you!

Convenience along Interstate 70

We were traveling from Utah back to Florida. As we were entering Kansas eastbound on I 70 is a summer thunderstorm popped up ahead of us and was moving through Goodland. We stopped at this rest stop which happens to be the Kansas welcome center in addition to what seems to be the norm for all rest stops along I 70 in Kansas. Each rest area has a covered picnic table, grill, firing, and water. The restrooms and each of the rest areas are open 24/7. The welcome center office at mile marker eight is open from 8 AM to 5 PM with free coffee. Camping is allowed for one night only at one of the picnic table areas although you have to park along the road and not enter the grass. There is some noise from the highway, and also from the tractor trailers coming in and out or if they are part, some of the diesel engines are left running. The noise did not bother us because we were so tired, we fell asleep to the “singing” of the trucks engines

Easy, free and clean

Have stayed here multiple times during trips to CO. Yes there’s some road noise from the highway, but you really can’t go wrong given the amenities and location

Quick one night camping location

This was a great location to stay for the night. There are several of these rest stops along this highway. One night only parking is allowed.

There are restrooms, picnic tables, grill, beautiful sunset/sunrise, dump station, water spigots, trash cans, and vending machines. Plenty of room for the kids to run around also.

This is located right off the highway so you will have highway noise at night. We used a fan but could still hear some noise. It doesn’t bother us.

Overnight camping allows parking only on the designated road, no parking in the grass. There were several other cars/campervans/RVs parked overnight when we were there.

Definitely a great spot for a quick overnight.
