One of the best rest areas I’ve ever seen. Good spots for RVs, lovely overview of Las Cruces. Good restrooms, place to run your dogs, 24 hr security staff. Well maintained and clean.

One of the best rest areas I’ve ever seen. Good spots for RVs, lovely overview of Las Cruces. Good restrooms, place to run your dogs, 24 hr security staff. Well maintained and clean. If I were a resident of LC, I’d likely come up here to hang out in the evenings. Sure, you can hear traffic on I-10, but it wasn’t enough to disturb sleep. If westbound, you have to go thru some city streets to gain access to I-10 eastbound to get to it, then backtrack a few miles in the morning. A minor inconvenience considering how nice the stay is.

Wonderful place where the highway department provides designated RV only parking spots along perimeter of the driveway. No semi-trucks allowed - their spots are in a different location. Overnight is allowed and expected. There is reportedly security, but we did not see any. But the place felt very safe.

We even worked the next day and didn’t have an issue with noise. We used our 5G T-mobile Mi-Fi hot spot and had download speeds around 30 with 2-3 bars of service.
Bathroom facilities were clean but nothing special.

This is the nicest rest area! We arrived at 5:30pm and it was getting pretty full. RV spots were big enough for our 30 ft rig and tow car. Facilities were nice and the view into the valley and Las Cruces was great. Shelters were available for picnics and a small dog walk area was provided. Overnight security made us feel very safe!

Plenty of parking for rigs. Nice area with good views. Roadrunner sculpture is cool. Picnic pavilions available. We got here in the afternoon to rest for a while and spend the night. It's almost 5pm and it seems to be filling up. The restrooms are a little on the older and smelly side biut we don't need them.

We stayed here at the beginning of February 2022. First the pros - the overlook is beautiful, especially once the sun sets and the lights of Las Cruces shine. The Road Runner statue is fun. The rest area has 24 hour security and the guard was very friendly. The facilities and grounds are spotless. This rest area won an award for a reason. Now for the con (and reason for 3 stars) - we were awakened at 5:45 in the morning when a semi backed into our fifth wheel. Fortunately we were hooked up to the truck so damage was minimal. Our steps were bent and the pin on our front landing leg was bent. Had we been unhooked with landing legs down it would have been much worse. This was our first and last overnight stay in a rest area.

Great stop on way to Abilene. Easy access off n on freeway. Would totally stay here again. Security guard kept cars out of rv parking. And the statue of the roadrunner was fun.

Free overnight stays do not get any better than having a fabulous view!! Easy access and turning around as it is on the East side was no biggie. I recommend and would stay again. Big rig friendly.
