Randolph Collier Rest Area Off Interstate 5 in California State

Situated approximately 10 miles south of the {Oregon State} border, and just off Interstate 5, is the Randolph Collier Rest Area.

This is perhaps one of the prettiest roadside rest stops we have ever come across, in all our road travels in the United States. So much so, it was definitely worth taking a few pictures of and posting this article to share with you.

The Randolph Collier Rest Area and is appropriately named after a {California State Senator}, for the Second District from – 1939 to 1966.

For those who followed along on our Journey to Mexico, this was a Brief Stop on the third day of our 1800 mile venture South in our Recreational Vehicle.

Making frequent stops in; Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona States and Mexico.

I’ve put together a number of articles along with our personal photos and videos of our long journey south into Mexico.

As well, I’ve included some helpful travel tips and suggestions that may come in handy for you and/or others you may know, that may be traveling down south at some point in time.

California Welcome Center

Complete with a wonderful California State Welcome Center, this is definitely a {Must Stop} location, when traveling in either direction on the I-5.

Especially so, if you have pets that need walking as well during your stop.

The Klamath River runs adjacent to the rest area with picnic tables and lovely trees dotting the park, making this a perfect rest stop.

It’s a great spot for a breather from driving, especially on those warm summer days!

It’s a year round stop, where you can gather; maps, information on California attractions, accommodations and so much more!

Randolph Collier Rest Area and Welcome Center

A nice Welcome to the State of California for those traveling south!

Reviews:

“This rest area is top notch because you can access it from either northbound or southbound I-5. The restrooms are clean, and the visitor center was very nice… The center employees were chatting it up with their customers.”

“This lovely rest stop is a fitting tribute to its namesake, Randolph Collier, who is now known as “The Father of Freeways” for his efforts in1948 to modernize roads.”
