In the main building, men's restrooms are located on the right while the women's restrooms are on the left. There are even large signs to help point to the right direction. Since the space is small, there are about 8 stalls in the women's restroom but only half the space was available while the other half was being cleaned. (The men's restroom was a similar set up but with 6 stalls and 2 urinals total, but only half available during cleaning times). The facilities actually smelled nice, the space was clean, stocked with toilet paper, and functioning toilets/faucets/hand dryers. One of the sinks was slightly clogged so the draining was a bit slow. Overall, it's a good place to go when nature calls. There is even a large open hilly space towards the back with plenty of picnic tables.

Welcome…read moreCenters are normally located on the borders of states, but this one is smack dab between North Carolina and South Carolina. Free wi-fi is a nice perk for any traveler. You can walk inside and chat with an employee, grab coupons and tourist info, or learn more about the state. The indoor area is closed on holidays and in the evenings. The bathrooms were open, but they were not clean and are small. With only four stalls, this isn't a great place to stop for a bathroom break if you're traveling with a large party. The vending machines have a lackluster selection. If you're hungry, stop at a convenience store or fast food. South Carolina's rest areas aren't fancy, but it's easy to get on and off the highway for a quick bathroom break, which was all we needed.

First of all the common green area is very long great for walking pets or yourself. There are sidewalks all the way to end on either side of car and truck parking. There are covered and uncovered tables spaced out in the area, watch out for bird nests above. The restroom building has many toilets so no waiting during high traffic times. There is a visible maintenance person roaming the grounds. About 4 vending machines mix of drinks and snacks. Usually these rest areas in SC are no where this large for parking and green areas so I have rated based on this. The trash cans are not overflowing, no ant hills in the grass, well kept.

This rest area is located on northbound I-95 at mile marker 139 near Lynchburg in Sumter County, South Carolina. It is a right-hand exit off the interstate, making it easy to access while traveling north. There are separate parking sections for large trucks and cars. The car parking closest to the road and the truck parking farther off. The main building is a single-story brick building with a shingle roof that looks wheelchair accessible. It houses clean and functional restrooms. There is a vending building to the north that is also a single-story affair. It offers snacks and drinks behind locked bars that did not give me a very safe feel for the stop. Shaded areas are available all around the site, along with some picnic tables scattered throughout for resting or eating. The entire area was free of trash during our visit, contributing to a pleasant stop. While it's not the fanciest rest area, it does provide the essentials for a quick break during long drives. Overall, I would recommend this as a decent place to stop on your travels through South Carolina. Enjoy.

This rest area is located on I-95 at mile marker 139 in Sumter County, South Carolina. There are…read moreboth northbound and southbound locations for this rest area. (At the time of writing this review, the Yelp listing is named "Rest Area I-95 North." To clarify, I'll submit a name change to "Rest Area I-95 Mile Marker 139" because this listing captures reviews, photos, etc. from both sides. Hopefully, the Yelp moderators approve.) If traveling south on I-95 into SC, this is the first rest area after the Dillon Welcome Center near the North Carolina border (mile marker 195). In other words, after the welcome center, it's about 56 miles until this rest area. After this rest area, the next rest area south is at mile marker 99, about 40 miles away. It's another welcome center, the Santee Welcome Center. If traveling north on I-95 in SC, mile marker 99 has a rest area. It's not a welcome center like the southbound side. According to Google Maps and Yelp, this rest area has an address in the town of Lynchburg, SC. However, Lynchburg is actually 16.5 miles up 95 and highway 58 in Lee County. For navigation, on Google Maps, the southbound listing for this rest area is named "Sumter County, SC Rest Area" and the northbound rest area is named "Rest Area I95 North." The southbound side of this rest area has a small log cabin. Above the entrance, a sign reads, "Sumter County Welcome Center. 'The Gamecock County.'" Sumter County was named after Revolutionary War general Thomas Sumter (1734-1832). He was nicknamed the "Fighting Gamecock." That's where the University of South Carolina Gamecocks' nickname and mascot came from. We stopped at the northbound side on a recent trip from Georgia to North Carolina. It was fine. The rest area was definitely showing its age. The grounds and facilities appeared clean and well maintained. We visited around 2:15pm on a Saturday and I saw staff working on-site. This is a small rest area with basic amenities -- vending machines and picnic tables (mostly uncovered). Along with using the restrooms, my wife and I had a bite to eat in the car. We parked in front of the refreshments structure. It was peaceful. According to the SCDOT, South Carolina has nine welcome centers and 19 rest areas.

The I-26 West Rest Area closed years ago, as exits 199, 205, and 209 have tons of gas stations, hotels, and restaurants close to the interstate. Stopping at any of those exits is a better idea for a bathroom at a gas station or a quick bite. I stopped here for the sole purpose of a bathroom emergency. The bathrooms are only suitable in an emergency. SCDOT hasn't done a great job of keeping up this rest area or modernizing it. The location would work as a Charleston area welcome/tourist center, but I'm not sure that many folks stop at those anymore either with apps like Yelp.

It has a Yemassee address, but is closer to the unincorporated community of Hendersonville. The town of Yemassee is in Beaufort and Hampton counties. The closest city to this rest area is Walterboro (exits 53 and 57), north. If traveling south on I-95, this is the last rest area before the welcome center in Hardeeville at mile marker 4.3. The Hardeeville welcome center is more recently renovated and way nicer than this rest area -- good info to know if planning your stops.
