AnotheR good rest stop in NC. I feel like I am usually scared to get out of the car at rest areas, but this one was nice and no qualms here. The bathrooms and very clean and vending machines well stocked. Make sure you have coins or cash though because they don’t take cards.

This is another beautiful rest area along I-85 travelling through North Carolina. Inside the building you will find vending machines and restrooms. Like all of the other rest areas I’ve been to while in NC, the restrooms are clean and well maintained. The outdoor area is beautiful as well. There is plenty of parking and lots of shade to keep out of the hot summer sun. Although I didn’t visit every area of the rest area, there is also a Vietnam Veterans Memorial here as well. If I pass through here again and have more time, I plan to visit that area of this rest stop too. Overall, this is a great rest area with clean restrooms and a good place to stretch your legs during a long drive. Even if it’s just a few minutes, you’ll feel better after the break and back on the road.

Finally passing through here with a few minutes of extra time. As well, it was a bright sunny day(maybe too sunny for driving) so I stopped here to give my eyes a break, look at some greenery and pop over to see what the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans Memorial looked like. A short walk down a tree lined lane, over a single lane bridge and up a short hill(the sign says 900 feet, but it seemed longer) and I found it. A large circle with a grassy area. Along the wall at the back, the names of those from North Carolina who gave their lives. Quite peaceful and with the wing blowing, the POW-MIA flag flying below the Stars and Stripes. I’m glad I stopped, especially with Memorial Day coming up.

Nice rest area in a wooded parklike environment. Highly recommend you walk the few hundred feet into the woods to see the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans Memorial, it is a pleasant tranquil place, a great respite and a nice excuse for a walj in the woods where there is a nice brodge over a small stream. In general NC rest areas are nice and generally much cleaner than those in most other states.
