    I-10 East Okaloosa County Rest Area - Okaloosa County rest area, Crestwood

    I-10 East Okaloosa County Rest Area

    (2 reviews)

    Eastbound on I-10 between Pensacola and Tallahassee, it was time for a break. This is one of the…read moregood rest areas in Florida, which are generally about 30 to 45 minutes apart. Plentiful parking, some shade if the Sun is at the right angle, vending machines, space to walk around, space for pets and yes, clean restrooms for people. This was a nice rest and the quarter mile walking trail was great. There is another across the way for westbound traffic. They are not otherwise connected.

    This is the Okaloosa County Rest Area for travelers heading east along Interstate 10. It is…read morelocated near mile marker 58 (though the center itself notes it as mile marker 60). When entering, cars will go to the left while trucks go to the right. Florida rest areas are open 24 hours a day. My visit to this rest area was on August 26, 2022. After traveling for a little while, it was time to take a break from driving and being on the road. This is the rest area we stopped at in Okaloosa County. The first stop at this rest area was to use the restroom. The restrooms were nice. They were pretty big for a rest area. They were also clean and well maintained too. Using the restroom isn't the only reason to stop at a rest area. I also took advantage of moving around and getting my body moving so that my legs don't cramp up while driving. They have a leg stretching trail, which is a little over a quarter mile in distance. There are spots here where you can take your pets to relieve themselves too, but pets are not allowed in the building (service animals only). There are several picnic tables, with some of them covered, as well as tree cover in the area too. This makes it a great place to stop for a bit. One of the signs here did surprise me a bit, as it noted that some organizations have permits to solicit at welcome centers and rest areas. We didn't encounter that on this visit, but it is good knowing this. Overall, the Okaloosa County Rest Area for I-10 East is very nice. There is something for everyone when it comes to taking a break, using the restroom, or even just taking in some of the sights or walking the stretch your legs trail. If your travels take you this way, this rest area is worth stopping in for a short bit.

Outside of the rest area building there are picnic tables and a pet walk for animals to relieve themselves. This rest area gives the semblance of safety because it is bright, well lit at night and clean. I will continue to stop here on my travels on I 65.

Do not recommend those, however the restrooms are very clean & tidy. And we have stopped two weeks in a row & they have been very clean & tidy both times. The outside is a very large green space. A parklike area with some very pretty pavilions dotted with picnic areas. Pets are not allowed in the pavilion/eating areas. There are some designated areas for pets, but not at the pavilions. It's also very minimalistic outside as well. There are some shady pine trees but no flowering shrubs, flowerbeds etc., very minimal shrubbery, plain, very simple borderline boring scenery, but very well maintained. The next exit/stop is "Evergreen" only 4 miles up the highway with tons of Fast food chains, restaurants, shopping etc., There is even a very cool fenced in pet area to walk your pets at the local Conecuh sausage factory up at the Evergreen exit, just FYI. Safe Travels.

Before my mom died her favorite story to tell was a story about me, at this Florida welcome center, when I was just 4 years old. One day we were traveling from my grandparents house in Louisiana (her parents home) back to our home, here in Pensacola. We lived here in Pirate'cola when I was a baby, my father was in the service here. Anyway, as the story goes, we were driving back from grandmas house about 2 and a half hours drive. Everyone wanted to stop for orange juice & I had to pee. I was 4 so orange juice was very important & I was very excited to get my orange juice. Anyway, back in those days I was a little majorette in Kindergarten. I was a very good baton twirler, had a snazzy little blue sequined one piece body suit & white cowboy boots that I wore on the field at the football game. Anyway, I was the smallest majorette with my tiny baton & tiny tiny little white cowboy boots. I was so adorable! I wore them to my grandmothers to show her how cute I was, obviously, and was still wearing my cute little white boots on the way home. So I waited & waited so excited to get my orange juice but it was taking longer than I expected to pull into the Florida Welcome Center. We pull in & I jumped out of the car, running to the bathroom to pee so I could go get my Orange Juice! But i didn't make it up the hill & peed in my little white boots. When my mom got up the hill to the entrance, I was barefoot sitting on the grass. She asked me where are your little white boots & I pointed at the trash can. lol After I peed in my little white boots, I obviously did not need them anymore. duh. Anyway, I did get my orange juice & a new pair of little white boots the next week as I was taught to never litter. Till this very day, every time I come into Pensacola & see that big Florida Welcome sign, I always remember how much I love Florida, my memories of my mother, her exquisitely untarnished love for me & the smell of fresh new white cowboy boots. Highest Recommendations.
