I have spent time in all 48 contiguous states, and I in my opinion, West Virginia has the best tourism board of any state. There was a bit of a smell inside the information area that was a bit off-putting and as my husband was waiting outside with our dog, I was a little bothered to see a woman bring her large dog inside when it does not advise that this is a dog-friendly visitor Center. The bathrooms are detached and part of the rest area and could definitely use a good cleaning. Even though this was a short stop, it was definitely helpful.

I found the welcome center inviting and soothing after the extended and pointless detour that we're not discussing. expansive and well kept grounds surround the tourism information center which is set apart from the "facilities" which were in fine fettle this time through but completely not worth the time and miles it took to get here.

It is frequently highlighted as one of the best non-interstate rest areas in the region, serving as a gateway to Maryland, particularly for those traveling to and from Gettysburg As a rest stop, its rest rooms, vending machines, pet area, playground and picnic areas are open every day from 9-5. But as a welcome center, the building is open only Thursdays through Mondays, 9 AM- 5 PM.

On my multiple trips back and forth on I-70 I usually bypass this rest stop, it's in a weird area…read more For more than one reason. Recently I had to stop because I needed to do some work related stuff. It also didn't hurt that I needed to use the facilities. Getting off at this rest stop can be a bit tricky. This sits at the top of a crest where three lanes of traffic (used to allow for slower moving big rigs to be on the right) goes down to two. So if you are scurrying along to pass those big rigs, you may miss it or have to cut it close to make the exit to the rest stop. Once on the lot, just follow the signs to where regular cars/trucks/suvs would go. The building on the grounds are what you would expect at a rest stop. They do have some things here that are to entertain or educate you, but they have been directly in the sunlight so much that they are bleached or just plain old destroyed. Facilities are well taken care of and usable. My main purpose here was to do a real quick work thing and then continue on my way. The cell service here is bad. I had LTE at most and did not matter what I was trying to do, just would not work. Totally not their fault, but if it is against the law to text or hold a handheld device while driving, they might want to invest in WiFi or something at these rest stops. Getting back onto the highway is a bit tricky as well. Leaving from the regular vehicle lot you go on what feels like a winding country road. Then you have to rush yourself in hopes that you can make it back on the highway without causing any delays.
