No bueno. The bushes are not tall enough here.
Lou C.

There isn't coincidence. I first discovered this location 2 years ago; I thought it should be added to the Yelp map. After I did a deeper search on desktop Yelp site, it looked like someone already started a biz page but not close enough to check in to (http://www.yelp.com/biz/colorado-county-rest-area-columbus). I always stop by whenever I go to San Antonio on my way home. I want to enjoy both natural and man-made beauties. It's a place to relieve and relax after heavy snacking at Buc-ee's 60 miles earlier. My recent visit wasn't so pleasant. On my rush trip home from San Antonio, I wanted to rehydrate my throat. But the restrooms were closed. That didn't make sense. Both sets of bathrooms, really? I asked the guy who was emptying trash bins. He was clueless, "I don't know. He has to come out first." I walked by the office, I didn't see anyone but heard phone conversation with urgent and worrying tone. The sign said cleaning. I think it was something more than that. Ok. Let me just move on. I tuned to my favorite radio station 100.3 from Houston and listening to country music going home. If you're westbound to San Antonio, check out its identical twin across the highway - Colorado County Safety Rest Area Westbound http://www.yelp.com/biz/colorado-county-safety-rest-area-westbound-glidden.

Very clean, no smells.... pleasant maintenance personnel. Very polite. Nice picnic areas, vending and a bench or two. Covered areas, truck parking. Parking lots maintained, no trash issues.

WOW!. I wouldn't think I would give a REST STOP five stars but after sitting, that's right SITTING, on I-10 in traffic with two kids, I decided I HAD to pull over. This rest stop must be the nicest in Texas. It had two sets of beautiful, clean bathrooms with AC. The picnic tables were numerous and covered from the sun. The grassy areas were well set away from the roads so I wasn't nervous when the kids decided to run off some steam. We also used the vending machines, which were well-stocked, and that's when I noticed a sign for free Wireless Internet Access. Are you kidding? Free internet in the middle of nowhere??!!!?

One of the sets of restrooms...very clean!

Really clean and well maintained rest area. They have two sets of restrooms, so if one is being cleaned, the other is open, and I swear they must clean these every 5 minutes, or nobody actually uses this place! There's a lot of green area, so if you need to get out and stretch there's plenty of room for that. Not sure if pets are allowed, but there may be a separate pet area. If not, please pick up after your pets! Leaving your dog's poop out is just gross. Very nice area to stop and take a break from the road!

Very clean stop. The grounds are nice and shady but the car parking lot could have been bigger. But staying so we will see.

This may be the last Buc-ee's we visit as our road trip is nearing its end. It's supposed to be…read morethe largest one but one of the other ones we visited seemed the same size for both the pumps and store. This time instead of exploring their packaged snack products I thought about how much room we have left in our car and flying it home so I decided against it. I did buy 3 of their small cup size Blue Bell dark chocolate ice cream- for all of us but the cashier gave only one spoon. It tasted so good I had hubs go get me a large size one since I didn't eat a normal lunch and it was past 5 pm. While I waited in the car with the grandpup. I wanted to find some Bucee items for Doc since she's been our road trip driver plus made all the arrangements for hotels, tickets to parks, dinner show, etc. We all got different things: hubs got small bags of jerky, Doc got her favorite brisket sandwich to share with her Frenchie, a sausage on a stick and 3 peach cobblers for each of us to try. I like the large amount of clean restroom stalls plus soap. The cone of warmed sugary pecans and cinnamon bites were a sweet snack- finally gone from the first Buc-ee's a week ago. Before leaving Doc had us take a selfie and a nice gentleman also took a couple for us too.

Another fun location. What can I say? I'm a nutter for the beaver nuggets!…read moreWhen my sisters come to visit, we like going to Luling for all things lavender and of course it includes a stop in beaver town! In fact, this location was the first time my sister Tiffany had ever been to one. She bought everything from fresh jerky and nuggets to souvenirs and brisket sandwiches. Needless to say she had to rearrange her luggage to make everything fit for her flight home. You know what I'm gonna say next... Great service. Great offerings. Super clean. The beaver does it again!

Recently stopped here along the way to San Antonio. This place was awesome and worth checking out!…read moreI love the detail and history that goes into this rest stop and so far every rest stop along interstate 10. Tons of parking spaces for cars and trucks with clean restrooms and great amenities. Great place to check out in the summer to escape the scorching sun.

Rest stops!?!? Hell no. I always thought they were dirty, run down and always non air…read moreconditioned bathrooms. Not the case at all. So my father being as old as he is has to stop every 60 miles to go to the bathroom, damn all that medicine he takes. Any ways....i decided to stop and stretch a bit while he ran in. Right when you get into parking lot it's free and clear of any trash. The bathrooms are located inside the rest stop building that has a small museum in it with snacks and drinks. There is even a kids play area right outside that is pretty solid. New and shaded area for a quick pic nic and a few nice trees with park benches underneath them. Now if you have the four legged family pet there is also a dog walking trail. I don't of course so I didn't check it out. I'm really impressed. It felt like I was in a huge park ready to enjoy some perfect scenery. If you ever need to stop and stretch this is a location I would suggest. It's definitely not like the scene in the movie "There's Something about Mary" with Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. If you haven't seen this movie before sure to YT that scene. You will get the joke. Cheers All...
