Rest for the night on 95

Nothing special about the rest area, has picnic tables and restrooms, but pretty small parking area. Across the highway is a large flat dirt lot we parked in away from the rest area and a lot more parking space. 3 bars on Verizon signal. There is also a rv park behind the rest area if you need hook up’s.

Basic Rest Stop With Some Fun Activities

This is a good place to stop for the night. There are some trees and picnic areas, restrooms, drinking water, and trash bins. There are two gas stations and mini marts, as well as a little diner with some basic food offerings. The Alien Center across the street is kitchy and neat to check out, and they have a restaurant as well. There's also the cathouse, which I'm not sure if it's real or what it is, but it's fun to do photoshoot in front of their signs.

We stayed the night in the big dirt lot across the street from the rest area and further away from the gas station. It was a bit quieter with less traffic in and out, though of course there's still road noise.

Good cell reception for Verizon and att. Overall a good place to stop for the night.

Very convenient, nothing fancy but easy to use .

As other reviewers have said, this is basically a large gravel parking area. I really like easy when on a long trip and only stopping for a night’s sleep. I thought it was pretty quiet considering being a few hundred feet from hwy 95.
