One for restrooms, one for the welcome center and one for vending services. The restrooms building has two sets of restrooms for each gender. One is closed for cleaning while one is open. The open one was very clean. The welcome center building was staffed with two employees eager to help you. It was very large and had four separate areas. Even though the buildings looked very new along with the concrete sidewalks, I surmise it has been recently reconstructed. The amount of parking spaces, especially for trucks, looks original and doesn't appear to have expanded.

The car side of the rest area was quiet and I was undisturbed. The building has a rest room that was in reasonable condition, there are vending machines if you want a soda or a snack, and there is a pet area where you can bring your dog for a walk. Note that there are signs prohibiting overnight parking, which is disappointing. [Review 20373 overall - 3502 in North Carolina - 1351 of 2023.]

This one although older was very clean during our stop. I rarely use the facilities at these rest areas when traveling in the RV, but after walking around to get the blood flowing again after driving for a number of hours I did here. The restrooms were spic n span clean I will say it didn't appear that the traffic was very heavy through the area so your experience may differ depending on what day and time it is. There are plenty of Truck and RV parking spaces and the same can be said for the car side, with easy access from either parking area.

They had a giant butterfly and giant owl on display but when I asked about the owl, it was not really related to the area or any activities that staff could communicate. They basically just said that it looks nice and the lady who made the large butterfly made that also, so they put it up. I thought that was a little strange as North Carolina has barred owls but not the specific species that the giant decoration is. It does make for a nice piece to look at though. They did have printed information for the activity that I was specifically looking for and everything was well organized. This location is definitely worth a stop.
