    Parking lot with Mt. Shasta view
    Dana B.

    This is one of my favorite rest stops because of the views of Mt. Shasta and Mt. Eddy. It's so picturesque and usually very breezy. The restroom is usually clean. I don't think I've even had a negative experience here. And the stop is easy to navigate, easy off and back onto the freeway without having to go out of the way. This location also has a nice grassy area, picnic tables and a pet area.

    We stopped on southbound side. It had clean bathrooms with diaper changing station. Picnic tables, some are partially covered. Lots of grassy areas. Pet area. Garbage cans and recycling cans. Water fountains and water faucet. Parking for cars and haul trucks. Informative displays. Little Weed Airport is right across the freeway, so there might some neat sights of small planes coming and going. AMAZING vistas! If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

    Great rest stop. We need more of these places along major highways. Mostly for the bathroom breaks. Well maintained facilities.

    This rest stop is clean, convenient and comes with an awesome view. Separate pet area, although it is dirt/gravel, my pup didn't seem to care. Nice grassy area for those without four legs.

    See all

    Trifecta Of Needs Met…read more SITREP Traveling North on I-5 and needed to STOP. But where? Oh. HERE! THE SETUP I was getting irritated with the Sound system in the car. My was trying to call and I didn't have the "hands-free" set up correctly. I had a tupperware of leftover chow mein I wanted to eat. [Oh. AND I had to pee really really bad....] Sometimes the answer just appears before you. WEED REST STOP * Once stopped, I was able to run in and use the rest room. Clean. Stocked full of TP. Nice maps. * There was a nice picnic area I was able to go to and get that impromptu late lunch I was craving as I ran out the door without any other plan for a food stop. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/weed-rest-area-weed-2?select=fa8bUp-r87-OOHmSABB-1g&reviewid=4Bx2AyFysm_K2mjD7PNaSQ * While eating, I was able to converse with mom about some important details on my trip to Seattle (my eventual destination): tickets to the Space Needle which I purchased while picnicking; picking up some grocery items at Trader Joes before I hit her place, etc.. * And before I drove off from the rest stop, I finally figured out the settings for the rental car's stereo so I didn't feel like I was listening to music in a tin can. THE LOWDOWN A great stop for whenever / whatever you need it for.

    There was not any toilet paper to be found in any of the stalls. Good thing I carry extra TP with…read moreme any place I go just in case the paper is gone. I don't want to sound disgusted but this time I was. The floors were a little tad messy but I chalk that up to lazy patrons who could make an effort to pick up the paper off the floor that they drop.

    The closest city to this rest area along I-5 is actually Firebaugh. The full name of this place is…read morethe "John Erreca Safety Roadside Rest Area", named after a former Director of Public Works who also served without pay as mayor of the city of Los Banos for 17 years. What? A hard-working public official not in it for the money? You won't find many of those today! There are two separate rest areas here on opposite sides of the highway - it was probably cheaper to do that than build an overpass! This review is for the one on the southbound side; the one on the northbound side is probably identical. The brick and wood buildings are showing their age, but the restrooms are still relatively clean, and there are double restrooms (two for men, two for women)! You'll also find covered picnic tables, a pet area, water fountains, payphones (there are probably only a handful left in California, three of which are here), and vending machines including two that have gourmet coffee. Classy! There are separate parking lots for cars and for bigrigs, and they both accommodate a lot of vehicles, so this place should be able to handle even holiday traffic decently. Which is necessary, since I-5 gets bad during the holidays, and all those people stuck on the road need somewhere to use the bathroom!
