This rest area is a wonderful last stop on my way home. It feels safe, it's so clean, and it's beautiful to walk around. There is also a Vietnam veteran memorial here but I have yet to seek that out as I'm always in a rush to get home. I see where you can drive though it on the Southbound side so I may have to try that sometime. If you need to stop anywhere in this area, I would recommend this one!

Reviewed 1 year ago with this...A nice place to stop for a break when traveling south on I-95…read moreAccording to the North Carolina Department of Transportation website there are nine welcome centers and over 50 rest areas throughout the state. You can download a list from their website and get a lot of good information detailing their locations. The purpose of the rest area is just that, to get a break from the drive, use the restroom, and possibly get a snack. Per their website, "Loitering, camping, soliciting, consuming alcoholic beverages and staying overnight are prohibited. North Carolina's Rest Areas." This one is off the right (west) side of the interstate when traveling south on I-95. The truck parking is closest to the road and the car parking is farthest from the road. There are two car lots and plenty of parking. The building and area look brand new. There are two single-story buildings separated by a covered walkway. One is the welcome center and the other is the restrooms. The restroom building has an open lobby with some very pretty terrazzo designs on the floor. The bathrooms were very clean and it was a nice place to stop. Overall, it was a nice place for a break and I will stop there again if I am passing through and want to stretch my legs or refresh myself on the drive. Enjoy. Added one picture to Google

The bathrooms are clean and offer paper towels as well as the air dryers so common these days. There are also several vending machines offering assorted snacks. I've often wondered just who exactly stops at a rest area for the vending machines -- many rest areas advertise their existence on the highway, with VENDING MACHINES printed below the REST AREA sign -- so I guess someone must use them, although I've never seen it happen. During our pit stop, this place was crowded with several dozen people, who seemed to be killing time waiting for something, or perhaps someone. It wasn't clear what they were doing, other than standing and sitting along the path to the restrooms, but I guess it's a cool enough spot to hang out in for a while. We opted not to linger, but did our business and continued our journey northward.

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!
