Now they have to have spacious grounds, preferably no sign saying "No overnight parking" (even though this is largely ignored), and a dump station is a super A+. Now being a new (past 7 months) RV owner, rest areas now have a different use for me since I don't have to use the facilities. The rest areas in North Carolina in general are pretty nice. Also my wife and I stopped at the last rest area on I-40 in North Carolina that had very nice grounds and was pretty and even had a sign noting it was the last rest area on I-40. My favorite rest area in the whole country is The Texas Canyon Rest Area on I-10 outside of Dragoon, Arizona, only because of the rock formations around the rest area, and not because of the facility. The grounds could be spectacular with an awesome view, but the facility could be a dump. Not bad, not good.Īnother reason I am having a hard time picking a rest area out of the ones I have been to is because of the grounds, which are separate from the facilities. Now that Texas has upgraded a few of their rest areas in the last 20 years, I would rank them as middle of the road on average. They were kinda dumpy but they hold a special place in my heart because they meant I was on a trip. So many states have air conditioned rest areas now that's it's not as big a deal, but sadly my home state of Texas had zero rest areas with air conditioning when I was growing up. I would say maybe not the best, but I remember being blown away the first time was Arizona, because I stopped at multiple and they had air conditioning.
