About halfway through the Tejon Pass, this rest area was a welcome break. Aside from the fantastic views of the mountains here, there was parking in the shade, decently clean rest rooms and a FREE RV sanitary dump site with flush water.Parking for cars is along the loop in the back which is a plus for the folks who aren't used to the all night idling of trucks. Dump site is at the exit and accessible from both car and truck parking areas.Be aware that many of the California rest areas are closed so plan ahead for disappointment. Boron to the east on SR-58 was closed when I was passing through.[Review 21028 overall - 544 in California - 2013 of 2023.]

After my horrible in an out experience a trip to the restroom was definitely required and this location was surprisingly clean and not at all what I expected would definitely use this rest stop again. This was cleaner than any rest stop I have gone to in a long time.

In my youth, we would NEVER stop at these rest areas; it was always Starbucks or fast food. These rest areas are much easier to go in and out! I save $$$ and I don't end up over-caffeinating or eating excessive amounts of fast food. Quality/Quantity - I guess I am so used to only stopping once from NV or the Bay Area to LA that I don't really notice all these other rest areas.Plenty of restrooms. Atmosphere - Plenty of parking.Cut and pasted from website - Tejon Pass Rest Area Facility Summary Restrooms: YES Water: YES Picnic Tables: YES Litter: YES Phone: YES Handicap Access:: YES RV Dump Station:: YES Food Vending:: YES Pet Area:: YES Cigarette Ash Dump:: NOService - Self service. Price - Free, well our tax $$ at work. Owner Comment - Thank you for maintaining these rest areas.

Most Rest Stops in California serve a very specific purpose. Pull off, use the restroom, stretch your legs and take a needed rest. Doing so will help you be more alert and able to react to the silliness that other drivers think are expert driving techniques. While the vending machines offer many choices, they are frequently not in working order as vandalism seems to be a popular activity. It's a good idea to always carry some drinks and ice as well as some munchies to satisfy your cravings. The restrooms are relatively clean and functional by outdoor public restroom standards.

I stop here every time I drive back to LA.It's a large rest area and there's quite a bit of activity.That being said, they do a nice job keeping it clean. It a little nicer than the rest area on the northbound side. This rest area even has some charging stations for electric cars. I've never seen that at a rest area. Pretty cool!You could have a picnic here. It's usually breezy or windy here though, but for a quick meal, it's probably OK. There's a large pet area. Leash required. The entrance to the rest area comes up fast without much warning so be on the lookout for it and be careful for trucks going super slowly as they pull off the freeway to the entrance. They have plenty of vending machines for snacks and soft drinks. Parking is easy and plentiful. The spaces are wide and deep. I like that the roadway in the parking lot is wide which makes for safer backing out.FYI. I have T-Mobile and I had zero cell reception there.

Nice rest area with plenty of parking.Consists of bench areas, vending machines, restrooms, and trash cans.Good for a stop. Has security camera.Plenty of commercial trucks parked.Great place to stay if you have to stay overnight.Dog walk im mg areas.The restrooms have skylights, motion sensitive flushing that works. The mirrors and such are tagged with carvings but the facets and air dryers work. I think the restroom is actually heated. Plenty of light.I didn't notice any bbq grills.Minor history information.Great stop for a restroom break.

This rest stop is maintained fairly well. Lots of vending machines. Bathrooms didn't have that awful odor of you-know-what's some stops do. It was also fully stocked with plenty of toilet paper and hand dryers. TONS of parking for both private vehicles and big rigs. Also a great stop for pup parents - plenty of grassy areas for their fur babies to stretch and do their business. It's good to know it's there if needed.

This is a great scenic, historic, trip-to-the-past Rest Stop in a state that suffers from a dearth of convenient road side rest areas. You pull off and kind of drive to the left, then park in a shaded lot. You get to walk over a bridge and see the buildings from a historic fort that existed in this area. Shady trees in the summer, and snow in winter, since the elevation is about 4000 feet up the Grapevine. Clean restrooms, but only one for men and one for women open on a November trip.

The Fort Tejon rest area is a nice stop about 37 miles south of Bakersfield. Plenty of parking.Not trashed out like some I've seen...Reasonably clean restrooms with plenty of soap.Good for families, big rigs, RVs, trailers, etc.If we had our dogs, this is a great place to let them stretch out for a bit.Some information boards to glance at... Vending machines are also available.California Highway Patrol has quite a presence in this area.Review #398Yelp challenge 79/100
