I have used other road side showers along I-5 (Joe's Travel Center for example) and that is the place to go. They are far apart in distance so hopefully I find something in between. To be blunt this is a last resort option. You better have your own soap, shampoo and towels to bring inside. Water temperature warm enough. I would never return in the current condition.

There's a Arco/AMPM and Dairy Queen. The Bathrooms are clean for a gas station and the staff is friendly and helpful too. The gas prices are also better than the other surrounding gas stations in this area. Parking is ample if you're stopping to order some food get travel information. Etc... There are well over 20+ gas pumps, so even though it's busy the wait for a pump is minimal. I can't speak on how good the Dairy Queen is as it wasn't opening time yet. It is really convenient if you're hungry. Overall, if I'm traveling down I-5 and have to make a pit stop Lost Hills will definitely be one on my list of Truck/Rest stops.
