Rest Area

Pretty nice for a rest area along on I-10 serving westbound traffic. It's super hot and super sunny here and there is just about no shade. However, there are two different traffic loops where you can angle your vehicle just about any way you want to put the Sun in the right place. There was also a decent breeze.With the roof vent open and the windows cracked, I had a good nap here before visiting the rest room and then continuing onwards.One small deficiency is that it is right next to the train line and even without the horns, those trains make a lot of noise. I have to imagine it would be much worse at night.[Review 17487 overall - 96 in New Mexico - 1005 of 2022.]

This is a nice rest area. We utilized the little rest shelters they had for about 30 minutes. It gave us time to walk around and stretch and just get off the road (that desert landscape is not the most interesting) Typical older south west/New Mexico building style. It's a rest stop. Your there to get in, rest and get on your way. No reason to invest and upgrade these unless the toilets are on their last leg. Be careful where you step. Your in the desert now. Rattlesnacks, Scorpions and other desert creatures may be around. It's more of an issue at night time during the summer when the creatures are active at night. Overall, it served its purpose

If you've traveled with kids (or perhaps, an elderly person of questionable continence... or your college roommate with the "hamster bladder") then you've experienced the unfortunate need to pull over at a rest stop.Before you go all Captain Obvious on me, consider the concept: a stand-alone restroom... owned, operated, and serviced (occasionally) by the government... cooking in the middle of the desert... offered for the admission fee of "on the house." Yes, friends, you get what you pay for.On our last trip screaming down the I-10, it was this on an almost-empty La Croix can for my 6 year old. In retrospect, we would have been better off just pulling off on the shoulder and engaging in a little "drown the fire ants." Still, we would not have seen that cool rattlesnake warning sign. Or enjoyed the wonderment: if you smell that much poop in a short period of time, what are the chances you can absorb Hep-A through your sinus tissues?Well, it is what it is. Don't drink so much water next time, or try to go when you stop at Arby's. Yeah, I know, I don't admit I occasionally stop at Arby's too, when I'm road tripping. I won't tell if you don't.

Not a very nice rest stop needing a major updating IMHO. You make a stop here because you desperately need to. Nonetheless, it's strategically located between Las Cruces, NM and Boarder Patrol Check Point on I-25N. There's one on the southbound side, too. It seems the rest areas are very similar in New Mexico. I'm not impressed. They all seem equally needing some renovation and updating. Although I have never encountered any snakes, there are warning signs everywhere for rattle snakes and other critters to avoid while using these rest areas. Better safe than sorry probably is a good rule if thumb. You might see some historical markers at some of these teat areas which always is a point of interest during your travel.

I stopped at this Roadside Rest Area near Gage New Mexico when I was returning from my Annual Road Trip. It had adequate parking . The men's restroom was clean and well maintained. Be sure to follow instructions on flushing toilets. It was s bit noisy with trucks and traffic and all but I managed to get a nap in before hitting the road.

Maintenance has improved the place is cleaned up and it's the only stop between silver and Deming. so stop on in use the facilities and move along Thank You New Mexico dot

Nice clean restrooms. Limited truck parking however it's easily accessible for both getting into and out of. Be prepared, It is a noisy location due to the close proximity of the interstate and train tracks.
