The Coke County Safety Rest Area is highly recommended for travelers!
It's located on Highway 87 between big Spring and San Angelo, Texas.
And while it was on the opposite side of the road for me heading southeast, it was easy to make a U-turn back towards in a short amount of time.
There was ample space for cars, trucks, and big rigs.
Trash cans, cigarette receptacles, mostly clean restrooms, vending machines, picnic tables, barbecue grills, handicap, access, interpretive displays and plenty of room to stretch out your legs with the dog, but I'm not sure if there were any dog waste bags available.
We didn't see any attendants on the grounds at around 10:30 AM on 5.24.2025, however, this rest area is well-maintained and no trash in sight.
