Good stay. There’s just a few people that are taking advantage of the situation. Which is unfortunate.

Pulled off during the day to fix an issue with our baggage door. There are signs posted that stays are limited to 12 hrs, however there were a few campers that looked like they had moved in.
The restrooms were clean and there is a dog park, but I am glad we didn’t stay the night because some of the other visitors were a little sketchy.
But it’s an okay place to stretch your legs.

It is a rest stop full of semi trucks (so some noise)- nothing fancy. We parked here for the night and some of the day while hubby worked, and no one bothered us at all.

The sign says max 12 hours parking.
We had decent cellular service. My husband is working virtually (some zoom calls, mostly just VOIP and online work). We use a Pepwave Max BR1 modem with an external antennas. We have Verizon and AT&T data plans, plus T-Mobile on our phones.
Def would stay again if traveling through.

I stayed one night in the Car parking lot.

The trucker/RV lot was pretty full so didn’t want to take a spot to be in the “12 hour limit” section. Not to say they wouldn’t tow in the car area but I didn’t have any issues during my 10 hour rest. Bathrooms were clean & felt safe.

Arrived around 9pm and stayed until 11am the next day. Although I read that CO doesn’t allow overnight parking at the rest stops, no one bothered us, plus a bunch of other cars/semis seemed posted for the night.
Bathrooms are clean.

This place is a welcome stop with not many overnight options in the area. We didn't use any of the facilities, just pulled into one of the truck/RV spots and went to bed. Truck noise was tolerable all night and we felt safe as could be.

This is a great place to hang your hat for the night. Though they have a 12 hour limit we stayed a little longer in the morning as most spots were empty after truckers got back on the road. The site is easy to access, even with all the construction on I-25. Expect lots of noise as this a popular rest area for truckers. There are about 2-dozen pull thru parking spots, mostly level concrete. The rest rooms were clean and included separate ADA bathrooms. Fenced dog park, with poo-bags provided. Decent cell coverage and over-air tv signals, even with antenna down.
When traveling thru the area we would stop again.
