    Rest Area Rules
    Alana M.

    This is a nice little rest area. There are shaded areas and covered picnic tables. You can view the information boards. It has an area for pets to do their business. The restroom I went into has 4 stalls, of which one is for Handicap.Clean restroms. Doors are maybe 3 ft long and are placed at about 5'2" at the top, interesting for privacy. There were vending machines with drinks and snacks. If you are headed west and need a quick place to stretch, this is more than decent. I prefer Travel Centers, but this was good. Travel on safely! Obey the speed limit, there were Police cars down the road.

    Not one of the restrooms are open. Not cool.

    Located just a few miles from the AZ, NM border, this is a beautiful looking rest stop that has a spacious dog park area where your furry ones can roam. There are also some vending machines there, which accept both cash and credit/debit cards. Unfortunately, during my visit, there seemed to be a septic tank problem, which meant that all of the bathrooms were closed. Thankfully, I didn't need to go bad enough, and I was able to move on to the next rest stop. Still, it's a beautiful area, and there are some nice photo opportunities at the very least.

    I think Arizona provides much better facilities compared to many other states IMHO. This was one of the nicer rest areas I ever used during all of my travels in the US. It was that good, and we really appreciated it very much. This facility is very close to AZ/NM boarder. If anyone has used any NM rest areas, you certainly know how this one is a much better one. The warning sign for poisonous snakes and insects are somewhat disheartening, but fortunately I didn't witness any of these critters while I was there. Since there's a nice pet area, you want to make sure your pets will not encounter any of these pests for their safety and yours. Thanks Arizona for providing a very nice and clean rest area!

    One of three rest stop 'stops' on a road trip crossing Arizona. A basic rest area with restrooms and a few vending machines behind heavy gauge wire gates. Clean restrooms and grounds. Groomed and cared for regularly. Area information posted along with emergency contact instructions that include specific location. A pet poop area; gravel and rock, no grass or vegetation for comfortable K9 movements. My pup had a tough time relieving in such terrain. Be safe, drive smart, and take frequent breaks.

    The San Simon Rest area is close to the Arizona/ New Mexico border. It's very clean and pet friendly, an area is designated for pet exercise to prevent poisonous snakes. The view of the mountains is beautiful. At night, bats fly over the lights.

    See all

    Pretty nice for a rest area along on I-10 serving westbound traffic. It's super hot and super sunny…read morehere and there is just about no shade. However, there are two different traffic loops where you can angle your vehicle just about any way you want to put the Sun in the right place. There was also a decent breeze. With the roof vent open and the windows cracked, I had a good nap here before visiting the rest room and then continuing onwards. One small deficiency is that it is right next to the train line and even without the horns, those trains make a lot of noise. I have to imagine it would be much worse at night.

    If you've traveled with kids (or perhaps, an elderly person of questionable continence... or your…read morecollege roommate with the "hamster bladder") then you've experienced the unfortunate need to pull over at a rest stop. Before you go all Captain Obvious on me, consider the concept: a stand-alone restroom... owned, operated, and serviced (occasionally) by the government... cooking in the middle of the desert... offered for the admission fee of "on the house." Yes, friends, you get what you pay for. On our last trip screaming down the I-10, it was this on an almost-empty La Croix can for my 6 year old. In retrospect, we would have been better off just pulling off on the shoulder and engaging in a little "drown the fire ants." Still, we would not have seen that cool rattlesnake warning sign. Or enjoyed the wonderment: if you smell that much poop in a short period of time, what are the chances you can absorb Hep-A through your sinus tissues? Well, it is what it is. Don't drink so much water next time, or try to go when you stop at Arby's. Yeah, I know, I don't admit I occasionally stop at Arby's too, when I'm road tripping. I won't tell if you don't.

    DIRTY ROOM-- Stayed there June 9, 2026 The next morning…read morewhile picking up my bags in the bathroom, I noticed poop under the toilet seat on the porcelain. Grabbed a Kleenex tried rubbing it off but it was dried hard. Also upon checking in, Found part of a tortilla chip by the bathroom tub and Cotton swab under the sink on the floor with something on it. Please take note of the price increase of over $150 (You are paying for a swimming pool that is no longer there, and no more gym either, which is completely unfair) I strongly suggest considering other options before Staying here. Price goes up and quality goes down-- go figure.
