This is the first rest stop as you enter Georgia when leaving Chattanooga, TN. Big rig (RV) and family friendly, staff on site, welcome center, information, clean bathrooms, facilities for families, handicap accessible, vending machines, cleaning maintenance on site, open/staffed on holidays, well lit, plenty of parking, dog walking area, security cameras, and etc. It has always had well maintained facilities when we stop. It “feels” relatively “safe” during daylight hours if you are traveling alone or not familiar with the area. It’s a good stop before you get to some major cities. Great place for families and pets to stop. (I have not been to this rest area late at night or alone.) I do believe this is a good place to stop if you are in a RV, van, or camper. Easy on/off ramp and plenty of room.

Really, not open till 7a.m. not very welcoming in my opinion for a state sponsored rest area.. place should at least have option for restrooms 24 hours a day.. Especially with as much traffic that goes through this area at night..

The restroom needs some updates. The staff is super polite and super helpful. I'm so glad that we drove the short distance to check Georgia off the visited states list.

Really nice rest area. Glad we stopped to explore and use the facilities. Large welcome area with descriptions. Pamphlets that show surrounding areas with neat activities. Neat set up with a large information desk/room that has even more pamphlets. Grabbed a few to take home to make plans for another trip to Georigia

this place is not trucker friendly. let me explain: first of all, bathrooms close at 11pm. really? come on!
second, the ramps and curves are shaped in such a way then when the truck parking is full, which happens rather early, parking anywhere else in the rest area is difficult:
-bunch of no parking signs, a "no overnight parking" sign i found hilarious, and 4 "bus only" parking space that, of course, becomes trucker spaces quickly.
-at night this place becomes a nightmare, as truckers needs to squeeze their rig very close to the side. why building it this way? do they really expect us to "dissapear" if the parking is full? navigating around parked truck becomes hard (not blaming the truckers who does it btw! i would do the same... ) a recipe for accidents!
