Thank you for having a rest area right here, there is no sign or anything for miles. You will…read morefinally see a sign a mile out from the place. Kinda disappointed about it. But just happy we found one!! Upon entering, they ask to use hand sanitizer when entering and leaving. Okay no problem!! They are enforcing but would recommend wearing a mask. Walking into the females, there was a small line and when it became my turn a boy that stood almost taller than me walking out of the stall. I swear I had a "am I in the wrong bathroom" moment. And like a boy, left the stall a mess, nah it's okay, not like I have many brothers I spent my life picking up behind. The sink acts crazy, you can stand almost to the sink and it'll start spraying- be prepared.

The housekeepers and breakfast staff go above and beyond to insure comfort and a full stomach. The break bar is incredible and your waffle maker is the envy of all. My grandkids ask me every year when will I get one of those for their grammie. I said the only way is if we find one at a yard sale, flea market or BW gives me one. I just wanted to take a minute to share our experience. p.s. if they have one of those waffle makers laying around...feel free to ship it to me. Thanks

The bathrooms were clean enough from what I recall. No issues there. Gas pumps worked without any problems. I would say this was a successful experience. It served it's purpose. I wouldn't hesitate to stop here in the future! Located right off the interstate- there's a subway and god father's pizza express located inside as well.

This Buc-ee's seemed to have a bit more parking (bigger lot). It's crazy as always, with people actually directing "traffic" in the ladies room. There were several stalls that were out of order and the one I went into didn't lock. (you can guess what happened lol). The place was so crowded and lines to check out were long. That being said, the staff is always friendly. Prices are ok (store prices). And gas prices seemed to be a bit lower as well.

Free WiFi and coffee in the office from 6am-2pm. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Not the Waldorf Astoria, but this is a small town.

To add to that it was a smoking room and we had no option than to sleep there for 3 days even though I'm pregnant. The chair in the room had old food and crumbs everywhere so we can't even sit on it.

Never coming here again. Oh and baby roaches

I visited Oak Mountain State Park as part of the Mammoth March Hike, fully aware it was going to be…read morea major undertaking--but it still managed to shock me. The steep climbs up and down the mountain were incredibly challenging. At one point, I even slipped and slid down part of the trail but thankfully managed to do so gracefully without hurting myself. Being from Florida, I was definitely not accustomed to the elevation gain I was about to face. There were plenty of moments throughout the hike where I questioned why I signed up for this challenge, but pushing through and ultimately finishing made it all worth it. Having the bragging rights to say I conquered this terrain feels incredibly rewarding. That day, I didn't notice much floral life, and most of the critters seemed to be hiding--likely due to the large number of people participating in the hike. That said, I was still lucky enough to spot a rattlesnake and a black racer, which made the experience even more memorable. There were a few noteworthy areas worth stopping for, including an open area near a dam‑like structure and several peaceful river and creek spots along the route. While the park is absolutely massive and I know there was so much left unexplored, the 23 miles I trekked over 9 hours was more than enough for one day. If I find myself back in the area, I might just dare to return and explore some of the parts of the park I didn't get to see. Truly a beautiful park and an incredible asset for those who live nearby and get to enjoy it regularly.
