Rest areas on I-10: what to know
I-10 runs about 2,460 miles across the southern United States, from Santa Monica, California, to Jacksonville, Florida, through eight states. It crosses the deserts of California and Arizona, crosses southern New Mexico, and then spends about 880 miles in Texas before following the Gulf Coast to Florida.
In the West, towns and services can be far apart, so knowing where the next rest area is matters more than on most interstates. Choose a state below to see every rest area in it, or enter your trip to see the stops on your side of the highway, in order, with the long gaps flagged.

California, Arizona, and New Mexico
East of the Los Angeles area, I-10 crosses the desert past Palm Springs and Blythe into Arizona, through Phoenix and Tucson, and across southern New Mexico. Summer temperatures can pass 110°F, so carry extra water, check your tires and cooling system, and plan breaks in the morning or evening when you can.
West Texas: El Paso to San Antonio
The roughly 550 miles between El Paso and San Antonio are some of the emptiest interstate miles in the country, with long stretches between towns. Texas runs rest areas and picnic areas along the way. Choose Texas on this page to see them all, and fill up whenever you get the chance.
East of San Antonio, I-10 passes through Houston, where traffic is heavy at rush hours, and on to Beaumont and the Louisiana line.
Louisiana to Florida
From Louisiana to Florida, I-10 runs near the Gulf Coast past Lake Charles and Lafayette, over the long Atchafalaya Basin bridges, through Baton Rouge and New Orleans, then along Mississippi's coast to Mobile and the Florida Panhandle. States here have welcome centers near their borders, and summer brings heat, humidity, and afternoon thunderstorms.
Tips for driving I-10
- Fill up often in the West: Between El Paso and San Antonio, and in the desert, fill up when you reach half a tank rather than waiting.
- Carry water: In the desert, keep extra drinking water in the car in case of a breakdown.
- Break every two hours: AAA suggests a stop about every two hours or 100 miles. On I-10 in the West, plan breaks ahead, since rest areas can be far apart.
- Watch the weather: Dust storms can strike in Arizona and New Mexico. If visibility drops, pull off the road, turn off your lights, and keep your foot off the brake.
What the status on each rest stop means
We never call a rest stop open unless the state, or someone who checked, has confirmed it. A stop marked "Status not confirmed by the state" comes from the Federal Highway Administration's 2019 national list and may have closed or changed, so check before you rely on it. Amenities appear only where the state lists them. See how our status labels work.
