    I usually stop here when I drive down to San Diego to visit my daughter. I pass by this rest area…read morefrom time to time. This rest area has a lot of potential to be really wonderful, with its amenities, a nice park like atmosphere, and an ocean view. Outside, there is a place where you can buy drinks, and there is also plenty of parking. Inside, it is quite clean for a public restroom facility. It's just a simple stop along the way, but it's comfortable enough when you need a break on the road.

    Whether you are being screamed at, "Are we there yet?!" by young children, need to use the rest…read moreroom/stretch your legs or are hungry for a snack: your saving grace when on the road are rest stops. Although these are more abundant in other parts of the country than the state of California; some of these roadside angels pop up here and there. The distance between Los Angeles and San Diego may not be exorbitantly long but I am in the, "I drink a lot of water" - camp and needed to use the rest room plus walk around. I was getting quite cranky and testing my boyfriend's patience but luckily the Aliso Creek Rest Area came to the rescue. The Aliso Creek Rest Area sits on the southbound side of the I-5 freeway near Oceanside/Aliso Viejo and welcomes road warriors with a large parking lot, grassy knolls, several bathroom buildings (I mean 'severa'l!) and concession snack outposts. But this isn't your typical rest stop, folks. This place is nnnniiicccee! The Aliso Creek Rest Area is shockingly clean: this isn't a rest stop out of a horror movie and instead delights bycombining nature with architecture. Trees, brights flowers/vines and plants are found plenty at the Aliso Creek Rest Area with a soundtrack of Starling birds singing/chirping their impressive vocal ranges bringing peace and serenity to your drive. What looks like hundreds of ground squirrels roam free with no fear of humans and happily accept food out of your hands (I fed one ground squirrel plenty of almonds which he/she happily shoved inside cheeks) and some parking sea gulls also try try their luck at snagging lunch. The Aliso Creek Rest Area is rejuvenating to the soul.  I have a weird fear of public bathrooms/toilets (well, toilets in general but this is not a therapy session) and the beautiful Spanish architectural style buildings at the Aliso Creek Rest Area are straight out of Architecture Digest while the bathrooms are clean and well stocked. I generally hate public bathrooms and expected roadside restrooms to be terrifying but these weren't bad at all! Trust me if I approve - it means something!  Looking for a snack or to feed those squirrels? The Aliso Creek Rest Area features several vending machines with dry snacks (chips, nuts, cookies, candy/chocolate), a sandwich machine (not sure if I trust that, though) and of course beverage machines with water, soda, Gatorade and coconut water; accepting both cash and card. My only complaint is that these machines need some healthier options and gluten free snacks for us Celiac folks. The closest thing were almonds and granola bars and it would be nice to have other options but I suppose I am expecting too much from a rest stop. The Aliso Creek Rest Area is a clean and inviting rest stop offering bathrooms, snacks and a nature respite to refresh and get you back on the road while in between Los Angeles and San Diego. Check it out for yourself next time you are on the I-5 southbound!
