Badlock Rest Area SB

Accessible directly from Interstate 5 southbound, Badlock Rest Area SB provides free overnight parking for up to 12 hours in Wilsonville. This roadside facility accommodates big rigs alongside smaller RVs and cars, with ample parking spaces available throughout the paved area. Multiple reviewers confirm the site draws steady traffic from travelers seeking an overnight break, with good cell service reported consistently.

The rest area includes standard amenities expected at highway stops. Restroom facilities stay open around the clock, though availability can vary—one recent visitor noted only one of three bathrooms was accessible during their stay. Vending machines and picnic tables provide basic conveniences, while drinking water comes from fountain-style dispensers. Several parking spots offer shade from mature trees.

Campers find the location draws a mix of RVs, trucks, and passenger vehicles throughout the evening hours. Tyler C. describes "typical rest area bathrooms(clean) and a few vending machines" with the 12-hour parking limit clearly posted. The facility serves travelers who need a quick overnight stop rather than a destination camping experience.

For those wanting a more traditional campground setting, Baldock Rest Area I-5 sits less than half a mile south with similar highway access.

Solid stop for one night

We spent one overnight here in our Sprinter between locations. It worked well for the night. Lots of sites, and they were maybe half full when we pulled in around 10pm. Decent bathrooms for a rest stop and everyone kept to themselves.

Well for a night

We were going north on 5, but the rest area going north was full for my travel trailer. We got there around 10:30. We went south bound to see if we could find anything here and we did.

Was still almost full with only two spots available when we pulled up. Lots of parking but lots of semi's as well.

We got a lot towards the back and it was relatively quiet. In the morning we used the RR and they were clean. The maintenance ppl were out trimming and cleaning the area.

A rest stop

1 out of 3 bathrooms were open. The open bathroom was pretty dirty. Vending machines and picnic tables. Just water fountains. No bugs. Plenty of parking spots, lots with shade.
