Joplin Rest Area

This is the perfect place for a stop for cars and truckers alike. Tons of parking, easy to get in and out of from the freeway. Covered Ramada's, dog walking areas and a kids playground are available in addition to restrooms and it's very well maintained too.

A spacious, clean, well-lit, easily accessible rest stop. Clean bathrooms, a nice information center, big variety of drinks and snacks. Lots of parking and picnic areas. Fun traffic barrel sculpture outside.

This was a good place to stop. It is a welcome center and it has some information and coffee. They have a playground. The restrooms were nice and clean. They have Wall art made with license plates. There is also some space to take out the doggies. This rest area is right when you get into Missouri when you are coming from Oklahoma.
