California Interstate I-5 Rest Areas

Interstate 5 or I-5 (at times called the 5), is the major North-South route in the state of California. It begins South at the US-Mexico border in California and reaches North into Oregon, (just South of the Medford-Ashland metro area). Interstate 5 continues North until it reaches the US-Canada border. 

There are 28 Interstate I-5 Rest Areas in California.

California Rest Areas at a Glance

Find out if the rest area facilities have restrooms, water, picnic tables, phone, handicapped access, an RV dump station (for liquid waste disposal), food vending, a pet area, and even if you can park your RV, semi truck, or bus.

California rest areas are maintained and funded by Caltrans. Just keep in mind that some may be closed due to the winter season or for maintenance needs, it is best to have an alternate rest stop just in case.
