    Remodeled and looking great! Stopped here today for a break in our drive. Been here before a number times and while always functional, it is also fun and has some good information spots. Good planning and glad they kept up the theme of the area.

    As of 11/2/2024 men's and women's restrooms had several orange bags covering toilets and sinks(out of order). Some state employee supervisor should be written up for failing to provide services that we tax payers pay to DMV and the beautiful state of California. Just pee on I15, you'll be glad you did. PICS of Valley Wells Northbound rest area attached.

    1st and only rest stop we hit so far. 330 miles. 70 to go to Vegas! Teeth were floating.

    My folks and we have stopped at this busy rest area at Indian Wells near Baker. Clean outside. Bathrooms wet on floor. Smells. I think they have maps behind plexi and historic info. Careful backing out as peeps fly in through the same single lane.

    Not one minute too late! Imagine driving down I-15 at 75 miles per hour and the who freaking highway is passing you by at 90! You are in the middle of the desert and there are not exists insight when out of nowhere nature gives you a call!! Never mind the rest of the world, but you are already 5-10 miles per hour over the speed limit and have no desire to get a speeding ticket no matter what. Desperation is setting in, the world is getting darker and darker and all seems hopeless and then out there down the slope you see it; Valley Wells Rest Area! Folks, at that moment I can't tell you of a prettier site on the edges of Mojave National Preserve! It is there, it is well kept and it is the most serene place during and after the "storm" has passed! Thank you state of California for putting this rest area where it is!

    It's a popular stop for travelers. Looks great from the exterior. Surprisingly clean for a restroom out in the middle of nowhere. Smells a bit and could use better ventilation

    When you gotta go, ya gotta go! Valley Wells is a convenient rest area either right before you get to Las Vegas, or about 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas, depending on which way you are traveling. It is new, clean and has room to walk your dog or sit at a picnic table and have a quick bite. The only situation that makes this stop iffy is that they are not always open. I get the feeling this is as much about water conservation as anything else, since very often a few of the sinks and the toilets are marked "Out of Order." We try to notice on our way into Vegas whether or not they are open, to plan for a quick stop on the way out of town.

    Located off the 15 fwy after Baker when heading to Vegas or before Baker when heading back from Vegas to LA. It's a nice rest stop it's pretty clean. They have two parking areas one is for big rigs and vehicles with trailers. The other area for the normal autos. Sometimes this one closes for repairs so they will post it on the rest area signs a few miles before the exit. Overall this is the second rest stop or first of two rest stops along the 15 while heading to or coming back from Vegas.

    Most stalls out of order. Smelly and piss on the floor. Nice place to stretch out your legs after a long drive but that's about it. The restrooms suck. There's a couple of vending machines as well

    Beautiful area, but in the men's bathroom the toilet exploded and excrement landed all over my husband's show.

    This rest area was one of my favorites when I travelled through Utah in a Penske truck…read more There was plenty of space for the truck I was driving and for other vehicles no matter how big or small you are. LOL. I just happened to be driving a load of belongings for a family member retiring to Nevada and I graciously decided to help drive their stuff to. There were many stops along the way but this was definitely one of the most scenic road stops I've ever been to. It has been a while since that drive but checking some of my in draft reviews, I saw I had this hanging waiting to be finished. I can't believe this stop only has one review which is why I wanted to boost the profile. The bathrooms and facilities are clean and the parking is spacious but the best part is this beautiful canyon side view. Don't miss this narrow walking path to a higher point where you can take super picturesque shots of the canyon. It is behind the Welcome to Utah sign and bring some water for the steep incline. This was unexpected and I ended up spending way longer than usually checking out the grounds. As I recall, looking at my photos, there was a squirrel that followed me around. He was friendly but kept his distance, I wish I had some food for my new friend, I think he just wanted to make sure I saw all the best parts of the Canyon. He was the best tour guide ever. If I ever drive by Utah again, I'm sure I will stop here with some food my my little buddy and to take a breath and enjoy the view.

    Clean and sufficient as rest stops go. It's not too much to ask for, but it isn't always a given.read more
