Nice cute little rest area. Like a mini sized rest area. Semi truck parking is on the tight side and small building and small washroom. Nice landscaping as well as good number of shelters with tables. Nice place to stop hit the washroom and take a few minutes for a break and a stretch. Because there were only 3 toilet stalls I did have a wait , but not long. Place does have vending machines on case you need a drink or snack. Good location and good spacing between the previous rest area and the distance to the next one.

Nice place to stop. I’ll come here again if I happen to be on a long trip. I’m glad that the restrooms were clean so there really is no reason not to stop here.

I was walking through the picnic area with my 2 and 4 year old and we all fell over when I stepped in a hole at least a foot deep and foot wide. This is not ok!

Can I park a disabled vehicle overnight?

They let trucks park overnight so I believe you can park your car overnight as well. No guarantee that it won't be broken into though.

Who do I need to speak to about having the American Flag replaced at this rest area? It is unacceptable to see a flag torn and ruined, and at half mast to top it off!!

Why, didn't u ask one of the workers? It should be a number around there somewhere as a point of contact information.

Are horses permitted for one overnight stay at this rest stop?

Contact the IL State Police District 10. Their office is in Pesotum, just passed the rest stop.
