Rest Stop - Mile 382, Gainesville FL

Clean restrooms. Multiple snack and drink vending machines. If you have time, walk up to the "snake wall" which oversees the Payne Prairie Preserve.

Disgusting! This has to be the nastiest rest stop that I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. Trash covered the parking lots, feces on the bathroom walls, trash cans smelled and over flowing, dog poop cover the side walks the place smelled like a outhouse.

Didn't see any venomous snakes sadly. Large clean restroom. Wish the parking lot was setup a little better.

Much needed pit stop on our way to Gainesville!
But Beware sign posted says: "BEWARE OF VENOMOUS SNAKES"

Very well kept rest stop. Bathroom was clean. The grounds were clean and very well maintained. Lots of parking

I loved that the womens bathroom was huge and clean. They have hot coffee, mocha, and a cool ice cream machine.

Clean bathrooms. Snacks in the vending machine area. Plenty of open space for a stretch or to walk the pets.

Watch out for cottonmouths and look for Gators in the fenced in pond. Not five stars because the cottonmouth left before I could get a picture. Full disclosure, I love reptiles.

Clean rest area. Creepy thing though the maintenance guy started making a weird sound and walking to a fence. Low and behold he was calling an alligator, fed it some food out of the garbage cans he was emptying. Didn't know you could have a gator "trained", but some how he did. Other than that it's a nice rest area.

Saw a older gentleman resting in his car right down from our parking spot and the security guard informed him, he couldn't sleep in his car there. But the sign 8 miles before the rest stop says " If you are feeling tired, pull over at rest area 8 miles ahead. "
Its a shame really. The gentleman said he was feeling tired and pulled off to shut his eyes and not cause a wreak.

It's an Interstate rest area. The only reason I'm posting is to alert drivers that the merge lane back onto I-75 is very short, and takes a lot of acceleration to get up to speed.

Good place to stop for a potty break. Bathrooms was clean and well kept. I always to try to stop at this place when I travel that way.

Nice clean, well maintained area to pull over for a break from driving. I had two small dogs in the car that needed to stretch their legs and this was the perfect place for it. Ablutions we're clean and everything worked.
