We've been doing the drive back & fourth from Vegas to California 100x... But we've NEVER stopped…read moreover here! We were totally missing out! Our in-laws told us to try to make a stop here when we drive back from California. We seen the stop and decided heck, we'd try to make a pit stop. When we first walked in.... "Ohhh my lanta" was my first thought. I'm in snack heaven! They literally have every single snack by the pound that you could think of. They also had little knickknacks, food & ice cream! Idk how we've missed this place sooo many times. But we will definitely be back again.

Update May '26: - nuuu they eradicated the urinal shooting…read moregame! It was the highlight of my Vegas trip pit stops D: + Yay free ice water galore. + Still much better than the Chevron in Baker. That Chevron's big too, but man it's sooo crowded and slow, all the ice is gone. . A meal for me here still costs ~$30 + Good amount of parking. I had: $11.99 Alexander bacon + $3.49 fries + $1.50 drink + $11.99 3pc Ckn basket + 3% cc surcharge + tax = $32.16 May '22: tl,dr: Fantastic in-the-middle-of-nowhere establishment! Tips: . If you're a dude, arrive here with a full bladder so you can enjoy a full shooting game on the urinal. ;D . Refill your soda cup before you hit the road again. Gotta stay awake. Likes: + Located in the middle of nowhere. + For a hole in the wall, it's a very well-stocked store. + Huge amount of gas pumps. Many ppl stop here along the way, yet there's enough room for everyone. + Strategic pit stop between LA and Vegas. + The tacos were great! + Huge assortment of toys and sweets to entertain the kids. Non-likes: - Restrooms lack paper towel dispensers. I paid: $9.99 (3 Tacos Asada) + $13.95 Chicken Fajita Salad + $2.95 Small Fountain Drink + 7.7% tax = $28.97

We stopped due to the obvious sign about their restrooms being open 24 hrs and stopped because we had to go :) So pleasantly surprised at the size and cleanliness of the restrooms.

Constantly and consistently closing the restrooms so she doesn't have to clean it is what the employee said. I can't give lower than a 1 star. In the future we will bypass this place and continue on to Barstow down the road. Eventually this place will probably end up closing and neither of the employees will have a job to be rude at. In addition , the gas prices are extremely high. So if you go down the road just a few miles you will see a huge ice cream cone, it's Eddie's World. They have everything you need to stock up on snacks. Very clean restrooms and a fun vibe inside. Thanks Shell for showing me patience for a restroom can lead to fun destination we will definitely return to next time.

Second, some moron ahead of us in line said that he was at our pump (and we didn't know it at the time), but the gas attendant kept arguing with McDreamee about which pump our truck was at. She said there is already a vehicle there. Yup, that's ours! She couldn't put any money on the pump because it was already set up for the moron. We could have started pumping and used up said moron's money, but we aren't those kind of people. TIP - pay up front with a credit card, whatever you don't use will be credited back to your account And the beat goes on...

So far the restrooms appeared more clean compared to the older reviews. When stopping here for a…read moreroad trip break there was an employee cleaning the restrooms. He was more than willing to allow us to use it even though the employee appeared non enthusiastic to allow people to step in. Thankfully after being told we had 10 more miles he was more than willing to allow us to use it. I was nervous he would not allow us since he was wearing a beanie with a skull and a middle finger pointing out. Either way, the cashier and employee was more than decent and responsive to the customers responses for that we were highly thankful!!

The nearby military installation means some interesting vehicles drive by from time to time. Equally "interesting" are some of the people in the parking lot-- the desert does strange things to a man, it seems. Reasonably clean restrooms. Easy access on and off the 15 freeway, here. Some stay for the Peggy Sue diner that is advertised on billboards for miles in both directions. We opted to get the H-E-double hockey sticks outta there and out Yermo in the rear view.

Hookups worked as expected. The main pro for us is the convenience of a place to stop for the night to break up a long drive with the RV. Cons: The property is in need of some basic maintenance. There are ruts in the driveways between sites making it inconvenient when towing a trailer/RV (It's somewhat understandable since the soil is sandy and taking the climate into consideration). There are some overgrown trees that hang that need to be trimmed so they don't hit the top of RVs, it can take some careful maneuvering to avoid them. Overall this KOA is a convenient, quiet and friendly place to stay overnight which are big factors that we appreciate.

Once you see a giant pink ice cream cone, you know you've arrived at the supercharger area. Charged here heading to Vegas and on the way back from Vegas to CA, both times were super quick, quite busy though but there were opening spots. -- Charger Stats -- Up to 150kW max $0.43/kWh - Congestion fees (up to) $0.50/min - 18 accessible superchargers, 2 of the 18 chargers are drive forward spots while the other 14 are reverse car into spot chargers. If you arrive here between 6 am to midnight times, you'll be able to enter EddieWorld to buy snacks and/or to use their restrooms (pretty clean). Chargers itself are 24/7 use. There's other chargers around 5-10 mile radius but this one seem the most popular and most clean. My wife and I were able to explore EddieWorld while the car was charging, easily spending 30 min to an hour here resting up.
