    Nice little area to stop and take care of business.. restrooms are clean toilet seat covers and toilet paper. Picnic benches payphones if needed.

    Dog friendly.....ummmm if you want to take your vet to the hospital because he got a foxtail then yep dog friendly. Too much dry grass and foxtails. Yes it's a drought but this rest stop is super small. Next test stop after this is 51 miles so if you gotta pee well stop by. Cool thing is there is a electric car charger station so that was nice to see.

    Maxwell Rest Area is located off I-5 some 70 miles north of Sacramento. We pulled into the northbound rest area. It's a decent place to stop, stretch your legs, and take a break. There is a large grassy area for pets, and restrooms were decently clean and stocked. We were there in the middle of the day; it was busy but not crowded. There is a decent sized parking lot, and access back onto I-5 is easy.

    Front of the Rest Stop that houses the restrooms.

    It is sufficient for a rest stop. Bathrooms were clean and had all the necessary supplies.

    Heavily mosquito infested! No wonder there was almost no one else there! Mid August.

    I have never written a review of a rest area but the Maxwell Rest area Northbound on I-5 was a pleasant surprise.
