Not much to say. If you're driving down the road and you've got to go, this is the place for you. Pretty basic rest stop to relieve oneself. Surprisingly clean inside. Wasn't defiled by graffiti artists or anything. Seemed to be well stocked with toilet seat covers and toilet paper. There was a sign warning about critters and even poisonous critters in the vicinity. Also, a rather large parking area for both cars and semi-trucks or trucks with campers, etc. towed behind them. If you're driving and get tired, please pull in and rest for a bit, that's why it is called a rest stop, right? It was better than expected, rather busy, and very safe. Definitely a decent place to stop and use the facilities. read more

Tonopah, AZ. Nov, 2025. We visited this rest area on I-10 eastbound, traveling from Phoenix to the California border. It's near mile marker 87, about 64 miles west of Phoenix, AZ and 68 miles east of Quartzsite, AZ. The rest area has clean restroom facilities, plenty of parking for vehicles of different sizes (from motorcycles to 18-wheelers), several picnic areas, dog walking area, snack machines behind heavy metal bars, and a water spigot. There are some fun informational signs about topics unique to Arizona --(1) rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, and scorpions. (2) state parks, attractions. (3) fun facts about cacti. (4) and my favorite, the 5 Cs of Arizona: cattle, citrus, climate, copper, and cotton. My understanding is that Arizona allows motorists to stay here overnight, and restrooms are open 24/7; however, it's likely to be very noisy given its proximity to the freeway and the high volume of trucks and traffic coming into the rest area. read more

Had to pull off to stretch out and use the bathroom, it was busy Bathroom was clean and well stocked Good place to stop for a bit read more

Phenomenal. Prestige. We travel often from California to Phoenix and back. The rest areas in California are deplorable, filthy, disgusting and such an embarrassment. We met Colleen here at Burnt Wells who takes care of the place. She was so sweet and the rest stop is just gorgeous. Thank you Colleen and thank you Arizona for providing a clean place to rest. read more

I pulled off at this rest station to check the vehicle as the tire pressure monitor light came on again during my drive from Lake Havasu City to Phoenix. There was plenty of parking, plenty of room to relax, and the bathroom was available. I saw a bunch of trailers parked and a few cars. read more

I still love and appreciate this rest stop sooo much. I love how it is 98% of the time really clean. I love the aesthetics. It is beautiful. Today was the busiest I've ever seen it. There were at least 50 truckers parked. I wish I could own a food truck and park here, I think I could make a killing working a spot like this. Thank you to the workers who keep it clean. read more

4 stars It is rare to come across a public rest area that is so neat and clean. And, let me tell you, this place was spotless! They had dog exercise areas on either end of the building. The picnic areas were clean and devoid of creature droppings, dust, or spider webs. The women's restrooms were not the best ventilated and the stall doors were really, REALLY short, but it was still wonderfully clean. Bonus points for having decent toilet paper. read more

This is the first rest stop on your way out of Phoenix. If you made the mistake of ordering Huevos Rancheros for breakfast, you'll be thankful for its close proximity to the city... - Lots of signs warning for snakes and scorpions. read more

I love to review these spots as a traveler you like to know where the good spots are.. this one was kind of run down it was clean but the toilet seats were gone. It was just old it needs an facelift.... read more

Last stop for 30 or 40 miles! Very well maintained and easy in and out. Pretty busy but fast moving.

Nice little rest area between Phoenix and a Blythe. Easy on and off access. The restrooms themselves were clean and fully stocked with soap, warm water, and toilet paper. Very nice compared to those rest areas in California. Perfect place to stretch your legs, walk your dogs, or let your kids get their jumps out. read more

This rest stop is a great place to capture a beautiful desert sunset. Off to the side is an unobstructed view of the desert. Parking is plentiful and people come and go fairly quickly. Getting to this rest stop can be painful if stuck in traffic from Los Angeles to Phoenix due to road construction. I experienced that firsthand and was so excited to get out and stretch my legs. The restrooms in itself is clean and modern. My only feedback would be that there be a sign to enter/exit because people were coming in/out from both doors so it was hard to know who's next in line. Vending machines with reasonable prices are located right outside the restrooms. There are also poop bags available for dogs. #9/2018 read more

Burnt Well Rest Area - Awesome sunset right at the rest stop - Rest Stops Near Me - Tonopah, Arizona

Our Mission: Sustenance and Toiletry removal. Our Location: The highway in the middle of the desert. Our Savior: The Burnt Well Rest Area. This delightfully well #lit bathroom made for the perfect pit stop on our way to Phoenix. Do not be deterred by the sign displaying poisonous snakes and scorpions, you're gonna be fine. Stay on the sidewalk of glory and you will be *well* on your way to luxurious rest stop bathrooms and vending machines. I truly cannot recommend the vending machines enough. The bottled water-ice cold. The sour patch kids-fresh as a new born baby. To say we were reborn at this rest stop would be an understatement. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. read more

Burnt Well Rest Area - Rest Stops Near Me - Tonopah, Arizona

This is a well placed rest area . The name is uninviting .... down right inhospitable even , and yet .... the toilet facilities tell a different story . CLEAN TIDY & well Lighted .... this is a welcome oasis when traveling across this barren stretch of desolate desert . Towns are few and far between in the Wild West. It's not unusual for "mom & pop" restaurants or stores to not offer restroom facilities. Often, an official state "rest stop" like this, really is a traveler's best option for a guaranteed quick toilet stop. There are quite specific signs posted that the"pet relief area " is separate from the restrooms & picnic table and VENDING MACHINE area. Pets are not welcome anywhere near the restrooms , so if it is a hot day (every day is around here ) you may encounter a dilemma of who's going to the rest room first , and who's walking the dog ..... also , there are lots of signs posted about watching for poisonous snakes& insects & plants ..... so maybe the unwelcoming name is well deserved after all. read more

This stop was an unexpected one for me. A thunderstorm the likes of what I've never seen before was in full effect, I had to stop and take refuge. The stop was full of truck-drivers and regular cars. Lots of people. The restrooms are well stocked and clean. It's a nice rest area and I recommend that you take it. read more

Burnt Well Rest Area - Windy night. - Rest Stops Near Me - Tonopah, Arizona

Easy access from I-10 for cars and trailers with plenty of parking and good length for the on ramp. Facilities: Restrooms cleanliness 8 of 10 with 10 being brand new build. Uses blower hand dryers and no mirrors. Large trash dumpsters if you're an RV looking to unload your waste. Water fountain that dribbled water. Might be used for refilling a dog bowl but didn't work for drinking. Stretch & Relax: 5 Large covered picnic tables with good view of mountains and far enough not to get overwhelming interstate noise. Plenty of dog walk space but depending on time of year could encounter a sneaky snake or scorpion. Vending: 2 for drinks/soda and 2 for snacks. read more

One of three rest stop 'stops' on a road trip crossing Arizona. A basic rest area with restrooms and a few vending machines behind heavy gauge wire gates. Clean restrooms and grounds. Groomed and cared for regularly. Area information posted along with emergency contact instructions that include specific location. A pet poop area; gravel and rock, no grass or vegetation for comfortable K9 movements. My pup had a tough time relieving in such terrain. Be safe, drive smart, and take frequent breaks. read more

Really clean restrooms looks like they really stay on top of them. Overall clean rest area and nice to stop for a streach and bathroom break

Have stopped at many of these rest areas on I-10. Not the best and not the worst out there. It is very small and in the middle of nowhere. Always make sure there is someone with you if you decide to stop because there tends to be strange characters lurking in the parking lots, including this one. read more

Always a great idea to stop and take breaks during a road trip. The next rest stop if you're on the I-10 i probably 40 plus miles away. Great views all around. Easy on- and off from the main freeway/ highways. Lots of parking stalls, cars are separate from trailers and busses. Bathrooms are very clean , no mirror, no paper towels. Soap and push type faucets that shut off pretty much after you're done washing. While I was there, an attendant was busy replacing toilet paper and mopping constantly. There is also a very large pet area but do keep aware of your surroundings. Numerous signs about poisonous snakes and insects! Yikes! Vending machines, as well as several shaded picnic areas. read more

Best thing about this place is the views. There are vast expanses of desert just waiting to be photographed. Like most rest stops, its easy-off, and easy-on, so that's good. The restrooms are fine. Its not in the middle of absolutely nowhere, so if you really need a snack there are places right before , and somewhat after, as I recall, to gas up and grab a bag of Cheetos. So in that sense, its kinda a weird place to put a rest stop. Either which way, I am glad its here and I have snapped a few decent shots of the gorgeous desert from here. I have never seen a snake or a scorpion here, btw. read more

One of the nicest rest stops between Los Angeles and Phoenix, well maintained and clean

This place is so exclusive, that when you check in, it's the ONLY option available. Like...there's nothing else within miles and miles. Even in the middle of the night, it doesn't feel like the type of place in which you'll end up with a fate worthy of horror movies, either. It's the least creepy rest area I've seen, which is why I'm actually giving it a quick review. I was surprised. read more

Easy access from Highway 10. A lot of parking available. Pet area. Clean restrooms. Looks like it is maintained fairly well.

Clean rest area with easy in and easy out. Nothing to complain about but nothing fancy either. There is an area in the back where you can walk your dog or wander around and breathe in the desert air but you might not want to do that as there are signs warning of snakes and scorpions. Eeek! read more

A fairly standard rest stop that's nice enough and clean enough to get an "A-OK" rating from me. Plenty of parking, covered picnic tables, and trees help shade the cars a little bit, too. The half-size stall doors are way too easy for random people to look over, but you can deal with it because you have no other choice, haha. But watch out for poisonous snakes and insects- they have warning signs for them every 20 feet! read more

What a clean and well-maintained rest area it's got lots of parking and is reasonably clean. There are several separate areas 4 people to picnic and I like that there was a designer and all the curve balls at something wonderful when you consider the number of miles you've been going straight down I-10. I'm sure burnt well is what you would be in the summer however and the spring day it was perfect place to stop rest use the facilities and Mosey along read more
