Stop here quite frequently on our trips to Duke. Always a clean and well maintained rest area for a quick break from driving.

This rest area is located along Interstate 40 East Claremont, NC, which is between Asheville and Statesville. We stopped at this rest area while making our way home a few days later. Our visit here was on August 5, 2018. When you come up to this rest area, you can tell that was rest area had some renovations and updates in the recent past. The main reason for the stop was to stretch and use the restroom. The restrooms were well maintained and clean. Everything was functioning properly. There is a vending building next to the main rest area building with snacks and drinks available. After visiting the restroom, it was time to stretch for a few minutes, so I walked around the area. There is a good amount of open space here and is beautiful. If you have pets, they do have a separate area for pets to relieve themselves, but be sure to clean up with the bags provided. They also have some covered and uncovered picnic areas as well. Overall, this is your standard rest area. The place was well maintained, clean, had some good views, and a good amount of space to move around. If your travels take you this way, it is worth stopping at this rest area.

I will always remember how nice and well maintained the state of North Carolina keeps their rest areas. The Eastbound side off I-40 in Catawba doesn't disappoint. Restrooms are clean, there are several vending machines to choose from and lots of nicely landscaped/paved walkways for you and or pet to take a little break from your road trip. Keep up the good work NC!
