We are camping at Lake Carlos state park this weekend where its beautiful but no showers. We used your shower facilities today and TOTALLY IMPRESSED!!! We were greeted by a great staff member and had a CLEAN HOT SHOWER they provide clean towels and well worth the cost of only $15 per person. We could have combined but no problem they deserve every penny. Thank you for such a great service and I am honestly recommending to every penny.

Absolutely outstanding truck stop.
We got stuck here during a serious winter storm and couldn’t continue west, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to wait it out. The staff is incredibly polite, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Everyone went out of their way to make sure drivers felt welcome and taken care of.
The place is very clean, warm, and well organized. People were offering coffee, help, and just good vibes all around. You really feel that the staff cares, not just doing a job.
In my nine years of truck driving, and my wife’s experience as well, this is hands down one of the best truck stops we’ve ever stayed at. Huge thanks to the entire team for turning a rough winter situation into a surprisingly pleasant experience.
Highly recommended.
