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.

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!

They're all operated by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and open 24/7, with amenities like restrooms, vending, picnic areas, and pet zones--though overnight parking isn't officially allowed beyond a few hours. Recently, we were travelling through northbound on I-81 and decided to stop at the one by Christiansburg. The sign at the location said that it is at Mile 108 North. It is a pull-off with truck parking closer to the road and car parking closer to the forest. There is a single building with restrooms. There are about 50 car parking spots. There are picnic tables around the land adjacent to the building. We went there in fall but during the spring the trees must provide some great shade for the tables and buildings. The area was busy when we stopped by but seemed clean and well maintained both in the restroom and around the walkways. Overall, a nice easy-on/easy-off rest area.

They even have some walking trails through the woods if you want to do that. This rest stop is on Highway 421 near Wilkesboro and it's a great place to stop. The "No overnight parking" is a concern. Do they really expect people to keep driving when they're tired at night? That's a bummer and why I can't possibly rate it at five stars.

Often we come across state or county rest stops that are frankly horrible, seem dangerous, underlit, and trashy. I'm embarrassed for the US thinking a foreign traveler might stop at some of these and judge us as a whole by how bad, dirty, and run down some are. On the other hand, there are rest stops like these that are frankly beautiful places that feel more like a relaxing park and an actual place to rest from the stresses of the road. The restroom and lobby were clean, well kept, well stocked, and did not stink. There was a separate building for snacks and drinks away from the restrooms. I see this more in the Southeast than in Western states. I don't know why. Maybe that keeps the sugary distractions away from kids. Or maybe someone thought we needed to earn our treat after a few extra steps. I don't know, but for some reason I like it. Thank you to the staff who keep this place looking great, clean, and feeling safe.

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.

On my last trip down, towing a very fully loaded trailer behind my RAM Rebel 1500 pickup, At about 12 midnight, I had a trailer tire blow out just after gettin on I-77 from I-81. I called the I-81 travel plaza for roadside assistance. The mechanic on duty was Don. He arrived at my location a couple hours later as he was out on another service call when I called. He brought a new trailer tire, made sure my damaged rim was good after getting the blown tire off. It took him a while, but he got me back on the road and I arrived at my destination in SC safely. The service was GREAT, Don was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. If I had to find a negative something to comment on, it would be charging me $125 for a $76 tire, and $293 for the service. It is what it is and they know they have you by the short curly hairs in your nether region, so they really over charge you. Also, they do not take credit cards or checks, so they will follow you to the next exit and wait for you at the ATM. It can really be expected. I'm sure they've been screwed out of payment by so E people so they make sure you're not gonna beat them out of their due, even if it is exorbitant. Lesson learned: don't hit the road without a good spare and the proper tools. Would I recommend them? In a pinch, ABSOLUTELY. Don was awesome and very diligent about all his work. Thank you I-81 travel plaza and THANK YOU Don M.
