    We went to get gas at the Shell station which is a part of the TA Travel Center, using the…read moreself-serve pumps. The price for premium was far above the price for regular, but cheaper than the nearby competitor. When I finished pumping, I pressed the receipt button, but no receipt was printed. A noticed appeared directing me to ask the attendant for a receipt. He was sitting by the full service pumps, waiting for full service business, but no-one was getting gas at the time. He told me that he was unable to print a receipt, that I had to go inside. I went inside, and the cashier was nowhere to be found. After a minute or so, she appeared, and pleasantly asked what I needed, then printed the receipt. All-in-all, the experience was a hassle - we'll get gas elsewhere the next time we're passing through.

    If I could give no stars I would but I'm forced to eeek out 1 . Our home is being built. It won't…read morebe ready until 10/2026. We have been using this truck stop to save us the inconvenience of showering in our 5th wheel . That is until 8/09/2026 approx. 9:17am . I had gone in to refresh my face get ready for work. The power was turned off to our property due to some electrical work being done . When I arrived , the female bathrooms were being cleaned. I said I was getting ready for work and how long would it take? The very nice gentleman cleaning the bathroom said " you can use shower 9, here I'll let you in" I put my backpack and a hoodie and plugged in my straightener , I had forgot one item from my car so I left the shower room to go get it. I noticed two men outside smoking and one of them I recognized as the man who was cleaning the bathrooms ( really nice guy btw) I ran to my car and was gone maybe 8 seconds total. When I came back to shower 9 some woman who was employed there began verbally harassing me asking me who let me in , I explained the guy outside smoking did , she was holding all my things and had taken them to the hallway , all within 8 seconds, she angrily took my things and basically threw them into shower 9 and with amazing hostility exclaimed " THIS ISN'T WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR" I was in absolute shock. I don't know if she wasn't feeling well that day , maybe her weight had her grumpy with the summer heat , who knows, I asked the other employee what that persons name was and " Maddie" ( chubby mean woman) hollered her name from the bathroom all proud of herself like being a rude, nasty, human making minimum wage made her special enough to practice terrible people and customer service skills . I walked outside and seen the two men smoking still and told the one guy from earlier , whom had given me permission to, what had happened , turns out the other guy was his boss AND Maddie's boss. I hope she got written up, embarrassed and generally looks like the low income bare minimum wage employee she expresses herself to be. She did not disappoint. I think this TA could do a lot better. Showers were always cold and for $18 I could have and already did opened a membership at planet fitness. When our home is finished and we move in I'm not going to let this experience impact my life but what I can guarantee is that I will NEVER frequent this truck stop with its vile nasty mean spirited employee called " Maddie" again.

    Getting off and on the highway was straightforward. As you pull in, you see the towering evergreen…read moretrees and realize that you will be under them if you picnic at the plentiful benches that dot this rest stop. This rest stop is has a little pavilion filled with travel magazines and pamphlets about points of interest. Each little nook was full and looking at the dates of the magazines, pretty updated. There are vending machines, trash cans, and bathrooms in the main building. Lots of parking for both cars and semi-trailer trucks, and everything in between! Overall, great place to stretch your legs due to the huge trees surrounding the area. It helps break the road fatigue and road hypnosis that some may feel while driving for long stretches.

    Tall trees surrounding the French Prairie Rest Stop help give the area a forest vibe.

Parking is abundant and the spaces are clearly marked if reserved for a particular usage. An informational pavilion provides travel information for exploring and sightseeing in Oregon and a number of the posted informational placards provide background about the history of Oregon. The restrooms have been cleanly and water fountains have worked, providing clean water without a funky taste. The exit from the interstate is clearly marked as is where to park depending on vehicle type.
