I enjoyed it! Would have gave a 5 if there weren't so many stickers on the ground! My doggy had trouble walking around. Nice spot with trees, and pretty quiet. Overall, comfortable.

Very accommodating..manager is awesome. Good place for an overnight on your way to your destination. I'd stay here again. It's a bit rustic..but well organized. Pull through are fabulous (long). Water and power. Has a dump site.

Not the most beautiful location, kind of sandwiched between a school bus parking lot & nearby gas stations. But it is convenient, and a friend & I - each in our own RV's stayed for 2 nights to avoid some weather on our route. The parking was level- rarely has my level been spot on center! 2 BEST THINGS: the Mgr, Erin, is awesome. Sooo helpful and friendly- really makes you feel welcome! And the... Not the most beautiful location, kind of sandwiched between a school bus parking lot & nearby gas stations. But it is convenient, and a friend & I - each in our own RV's stayed for 2 nights to avoid some weather on our route. The parking was level- rarely has my level been spot on center! 2 BEST THINGS: the Mgr, Erin, is awesome. Sooo helpful and friendly- really makes you feel welcome! And the other "Best" was the showers! Apparently recently remodeled & spacious with plenty of hooks for towels, clothes etc. Home style cabinetry, bench. Has the bars for handicap access & a roll in shower with fold down seat in shower. The water flow is nice & hot enough for any weary traveler to relax in. (I am a frequent boondocker so showers in my camper are military style- thus my excitement over a good long hot shower!😄) meant to take more pictures... next time. Yes, I would stay there again- OH, very reasonably priced too. With taxes about $59 for 2 nights with water & electric. (NO sewer at my site, but I noticed some sites have it. & I forgot to ask if they had a central dump station as I had serviced my tanks just a couple days earlier.) Call Erin, she'll give you all the details!

We were on our third day of solid driving from FL and wanted to get our black tank dumped before we got home to ABQ. Stopped at multiple locations along I-40 west of Santa Rosa to no avail. Called from the TA truck stop and was relieved to learn they had one and it can be accessed after hours and paid for ($15) on the honor system. Happened to catch the manager at the end of her day on the office... We were on our third day of solid driving from FL and wanted to get our black tank dumped before we got home to ABQ.

Happened to catch the manager at the end of her day on the office and she was super friendly. Dump station was all you need and nothing you don't. Really happy to gotten that done and will take advantage again if need be. Thanks Happy Trails for allowing the use of your dump station to "passer-bys." 🤙🏼

Large, hot showers. Huge private bathrooms and laundry, too. All terrific, but the manager with the southern hospitality is the best thing going for the owner. She helped me feel like part of her family. Safe, like I was home. Thank you, Ma'am.
