    Mount Sidney on I-81 in Virginia
    Bruce K.

    Very nice rest area with plenty of space to pull over and hit the restrooms. They were clean. There are also vending machines that are a little spendy.

Amenities: - Handicapped accessible - Telephones, including a phone for the hearing impaired - Picnic area with grills - Vending machines - Pet rest area

    Stopped here about 10:15 am on a Sunday. The bathrooms could use some attention as they were not very clean. There are brochures/maps available for local attractions and vending machines for snacks. There are a few picnic tables available if you packed a lunch!

    I'm on the south side which has plenty of space, clean rest rooms and open and covered picnic areas.

    Clean restrooms. As always with rest areas the need for more truck parking would make it a safer place to stop.

    Perfect timing. I had to pull over and send an e-mail and this place was right there when I needed it. Mission accomplished.

    You know how people will make a long social media post just because they wanted to share a thirst…read moretrap? Like friend - just post your lil shirtless pic and go. This is kind of that - the Center had the cutest Virginia Is For Lovers sign and me and my love wanted a pic in front of it lmao. **************** Growing up, we did a lot of road trips and my mom taught me to avoid rest areas. Make sense from a safety perspective as women. Welcome Centers are typically a class of their own though - and this one just across the state line off I-81 is no exception. Brightly lit, inviting, ample tractor trailer parking, and sparkling clean - I can't believe I've driven past it hundreds of times and never even noticed it. Too busy making a beeline for the Bojangles at the next exit lmao. On one side of the center are the restrooms - choose from men, women, and single room "family." Truly a spot for everyone - IYKYK. The bathrooms themselves were incredibly clean, and there were a couple of larger stalls for accessible access. As a fat, nothing worse than rubbing up against the door or the seat :shivers: going into a bathroom stall. There was even a stall with a mini commode perfect for smaller people and kids. On the other side was the actual welcome center - staffed with an actual employee and hundreds of brochures, booklets, and coupon books of state attractions. Lots of vending machines too. There are two entrances - the front for car drivers and the back for tractor trailer drivers. We had some Truck Business to attend to in nearby Winchester and parked the rig overnight to sleep, then left the truck here for a few hours and it was perfectly safe. We also had our dog with us (mind your business) and were able to give him a long sniff walk around the property and tucker him out. There were a lot of employees tending to the restrooms and the grounds and they were all very friendly. Just a very nice vibe and not at all the seedy trafficking spot drilled into my head since birth lol. Now, I can't speak for what happens when the sun goes down, but during the daylight hours this is worth a stop. Enjoy!

    This is the first rest stop when you enter Virginia from the West Virginia border. We stopped here…read morefor a quick bathroom break. We travel constantly and o must say this is one of the best rest stops I have ever been to. It is clean both inside and outside. Very spacious with lots of vending machines and an area to sit and relax or have a meal. The men's and women's bathrooms are kept clean and tidy and are also big and can handle numerous patrons at a time. The outside is just the same, grounds are beautifully maintained and they even have a large "LOVE" sign for pictures of your trip to their state. Graph a magazine or brochure from the rack and see everything this state has to over. I wish all rest areas were like this one, your trip would be so much more enjoyable.
