A functional rest area for visitors traveling northbound on Interstate 95 through South Carolina
South Carolina has nine welcome centers along interstate 95 running through the state for the public's traveling convenience. This particular one is located on the east side of the interstate. It is located in Hendersonville, just north of Yemassee near mile marker 47. There are plenty of parking lots. The car lots are closest to the road. The truck lots are the farthest from the road and on the other side of the main building. The building has bathrooms on both sides of the closed atrium. They are not fancy but they are functional. Preparing this review after my visit, I found some troubling reviews about the ceilings on the bathrooms being reflective that I would suggest all travelers review before visiting. The building and the surrounding areas were clean and well-kept although some of the restrooms were closed for cleaning or maintenance. The area around the building is spotted with trees but is mostly flat with some covered pavilions with picnic tables. There is a separate building for vending. Overall, this rest area is a functional place for visitors to stop for a break on their travel northbound. read more
