I had to make a split second decision as my light went off to indicate I was out of gas, and rather than put myself in harms way on the shoulder, I coasted into the rest area. It was late on Sunday night and I was racking my brain, when a friend reminded me that I might have roadside assistance through my insurance. Sure enough, I was able to have gas brought to me and gave them the exact location and mile marker, as listed inside the stop. Dated, but warm with a payphone, vending machines and relatively clean bathrooms. Within the hour I was back in business and closer to a gas station than I realized. I'm very thankful to have had the saving grace that was looking out for me that night!

The rooms themselves are sufficient for the task at hand and are well suited to those base requirements; accommodations are typical of what is provided by the state free of charge to non-residents.

When you're a #vanlifer, these are the things you notice. First, the car parking is well away from the trucks and that means that you don't have to listen to idling engines all night. And the car area was away from the highway so you're not hearing as much road noise all night. And the parking lot was level which is a big deal when you're trying to get a good sleep. Yes, there's plenty inside for vending machines and information on Illinois attractions. And a clean restroom. [Review 1051 of 2026 - 230 in Illinois - 26230 overall]

Like others in Indiana, it was clean from litter and bathrooms were decent. There are vending machines and picnic tables. Easy access from the interstate with a sweeping turn that would slow people down as they enter. The shape of the center lends itself to shade trees for cars (not so much the truck parking) if you were thinking of a brief siesta before continuing onwards. Back on to the highway was easy with a decently long acceleration ramp allowing a simple merge. [Review 13549 overall, 868 of 2020.]
