                      Very clean and quiet. I arrived and parked on the side in my rig. Even though it was next to the highway, it was so peaceful.  You can tell that particular rest area was very well kept. The bathrooms were immaculate. Good job on keeping the grounds and bathrooms clean.

                      I don't normally take the time to rate my experience at rest stops. But this was a nice facility. I've passed through here many times. And in all honesty it's a place I can count on to stop on my travels. I really do appreciate the love sign too, it's a warm site to see pulling off of the highway.

                      Just stopped their with my family. The restrooms was clean but while we were waiting for everyone andstretching our legs the employees were very rude to my children when they asked if they were security. The employee threatened to call the state police on them. I was standing beside them the entire time. I was shocked at how rude someone would be to kids. I quickly just got my children and left.My advice if you stop don't speak to the workers, they will threaten to put your kids in jail.

                      We stopped in here on the way home to North Carolina from Iowa. It was a very beautiful place and even had a section about the local music history. Very well maintained with some picnic areas on the side. Nice little place to dip in when you're going through the mountains

                      Plenty of parking and open space with tables and grass area to walk your furry friends. Not open overnight. Very clean bathrooms and an area to buy snacks out of vending machines.

                      Nice clean welcome center, and people there were so friendly and helpful, they really made us feel welcome.  Great place to make a stop when traveling and they can help you choose what to do in Virginia.

                      Restrooms and welcome center were closed. There was no warning signs or heads up until you parked and walked up to the doors and read the teeny tiny sign.

                      The stop was clean and welcoming.Super soft toilet paper.Some picnic tables are available.The cause for low stars is the scenery, no kind of trails or overlooks or anything spectacular. Could have used something interesting to stretch out our legs after the 9 hours spent in the car.

                      Love our welcome to  state  sign family photos so this was the perfect spot.   Plus it was extremely clean, had shaded picnic tables and felt safe.

                      Great experience, all I feel needs changed is I did not see a picnic area at all, nor did I see a pet-friendly and safe walking trail that wasn't pavement. Pets will burn their little paws trying to walk on the blistering hot concrete/ pavement, and I'm sure no one wants to step in pet potty spots. Other than that, they had a clean and welcoming visitor center, pretty crowded, but manageable. Restrooms were clean and vending was stocked and available.

                      Sanitary and a nice place to stop. Very cute photo opportunities and the area is very well kept. Thank you to Virginia for allowing this to be open for people from out of State to take photos in the Love sign.

                      Welcome center was closed when we stopped by. Restrooms and outside areas were all clean and well maintained.

                      The rest stop is very clean, large and safe. Had to stop here for to the hard rains and stayed a few hours and slept. There were continuous police patrols and that was great. There is vending and plenty of bathrooms and a little area for pictures etc. The welcome vented was closed during the evening, but it looks pretty nice.
