Spending the weekend in Winston-Salem, I opted to park here for the night in the Sprinter van. Yes, my van is converted into an RV. Super easy access to the rest area, westbound on I-40 halfway between Statesville and Winston-Salem. Quiet, level and secure enough. The car parking is not far from the truck parking so yes, you'll hear a truck idling all night. It is what it is. The rest rooms were decently clean in the morning. I did get a coffee from the vending machine and I would say, don't. That's the only lowlight from our night at the Davie County I-40 Westbound Rest Area.

We were traveling from Winston-Salem to Black Mountain and needed to make a quick pit stop. This rest stop is one of the best we have seen. The grounds are well taken care of. The trees and plants are well groomed. Parking is plentiful for both cars and trucks. They even have parking for cars with trailers. In addition to well kept and clean restrooms, they have a very nice vending area and many outdoor tables with plenty of space to stretch your legs or those of your four legged family members. Some of the outdoor tables even have covers over them in case it rains or to shield yourself from the sun. This was a great stop! read more

We stopped at this rest area to take a restroom break during our drive from Chapel Hill to Asheville. Compared to other North Carolina rest areas I've been to in recent years, this one on I-40 west in Davie County was par for the course. It was good. The men's room was clean, the area felt safe, and the design of the buildings and how they were built among the trees even made it look nice. If heading west on I-40, this is the first rest area you'll come across after leaving the Piedmont Triad area (Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem). It's after exit 180 (NC 801 - Bermuda Run, Tanglewood) and before exit 174 (Farmington Road). This location has vending machines. I saw at least one uniformed employee on-site. According to the NC DOT's website (https://www.ncdot.gov/travel-maps/traffic-travel/rest-areas/Pages/default.aspx), this rest area is located 18 miles west of Winston at milepost 177. It has parking spaces for 39 cars, 10 car/trailers, and 17 trucks. It opened in 1974 and was renovated in 2004. read more

The Davie County Rest Area is a nice one with clean restrooms and a nice building with vending machines for snacks and beverages. There are areas to walk around whether on your own or with a dog. Many picnic tables under trees if you want to take a longer break. The rest area had plenty of parking and was easy to get off and back on the highway. read more

We just traveled down I95 from NYC. Rest areas on I40 westbound and eastbound are hands down the best! Always very very clean, staff always friendly, and plenty of space to walk and/or sit and have a snack. We LOVE our NC rest areas! read more

Hard to believe I am writing a review on a Rest Area but this one should be noted. I've stopped many times at this rest area since the late 1990's. Somewhat up and down but the down generally corresponded to construction on I-40. When I-40 was being upgraded, the philosophy was we will upgrade the rest area when we finish upgrading I-40 which make some perverted rational argument logical. At one time in the 1990's, I was running a plant trial in Burlington NC and was suppose to cover the night shift and be relieved by a coworker at 8 am the next day, Did not work out that way and did not get out of the customers plant till 2pm the next day. Started to drive home and got tired and pulled into this stop and used the facilities and pulled over to the excess parking and took a nap for about an hour. Felt completely safe and after the nap drove on to Cornelius. Last Saturday I had lunch in Greensboro and drank several glasses of tea. Had to stop on the way back at the rest area and it is one of the best in NC. Very clean, well maintained and quick and easy to get in and out of. read more

Finding dependable, clean and safe rest areas is not easy. Davie County has all the amenities that a road warrior could ask for. Keep in mind this is not a welcome center with staff assisting travelers. Easy access off the highway divides the cars in rear and trucks up front. The building appears newer and and the grounds well maintained. The restrooms are the priority for most travelers. I found the men's room clean. My wife reported the same of the women's. Everything worked and proper supplies on hand. I also saw in-house staff cleaning. A vending area is adjacent to the main building. Sodas, sandwiches, snacks coffee and more. This is one of the better vending areas I've seen on the road. Small shelters are in the grassy areas which are great to walk pets. The grounds were maintained and little debris spotted. My visit was during a weekday afternoon. I would consider the area safe to make a stop. However, usual precautions should always take place of locking the car when in the building and being aware of surroundings. I would not hesitate recommending. North Carolina rest areas rock! read more

This rest area is located along Interstate 40 Westbound at milepost 177 for westbound traffic. There is another one across the way for eastbound traffic. We came into this rest area today (July 30, 2018) while making our way from Burlington, NC to Asheville, NC. When we came in, parking was limited due to being very busy at that time (around 10:15 am). As a result, we missed the regular parking and ended up having to park where vehicles with trailers park. For those that have difficulty walking, it can be an uphill battle to step up up to the building. When we got up to the building, the place was packed all around. Apparently, there were multiple buses for kids traveling somewhere as well. Once I made it into the restroom, there was a wait due to how busy it was, but the restroom also smelled pretty bad at the time. I'm guessing that large group of over 100 people didn't help either. Some of them were playing around in the restroom. There is some nice green space here as well where you can let your pets relieve themselves. There are bags are available in that area to clean up after them so that you don't get crap for not cleaning up after them. Overall, this is a nice rest area. I couldn't give it more than three stars due to the smelling in the restrooms (both sides were bad). Staff were there, but I know they had to wait until the onslaught of people left. Don't let this review deter you as this is not the norm for North Carolina rest areas. I think this was just a fluke for us on this visit. Timing is everything. They are generally some of the best of the states that I have traveled through. Take that break you desperately need, even here. read more

Super convenient off of 40 westbound. Beautifully landscaped areas shady and well-maintained outside areas. This includes nice picnic tables but no grills. There is plenty of shade. Restrooms were very very clean. Most people I saw were wearing a mask. Vending machines available. Interesting to see a North Carolina Highway patrol office space near restrooms. Very limited visitor information this is not a visitor station only a rest area. read more

Had to meet family at a half way point and choose this rest area. Rest area was convenient, rest rooms clean and had tables perfect for a picnic (had overhang to shield from sun). We were able to spend time with family and each go back our separate ways. read more

This is a beautifully located and extremely clean rest stop. I feel like I am writing something weird, but once I was there I felt as though I should have brought a picnic. Take a break here for sure. read more
